Taberna Tribune Articles

The Taberna Tribune is published by The Shopper, and is one of the monthly community newspapers here in New Bern, NC.  The Tribune is distributed free of charge to residents of Taberna, the 700+ lot development in which I live.  Since early 2004 I have been writing a (mostly) monthly computer-related article for the paper.  Following are links to computer articles from previous issues of the Taberna Tribune. Please note the date on each article, since some information may have changed or become obsolete over time. A few articles have become so dated that they were removed from the selection matrix.  To aid in finding articles on specific topics, I have categorized the articles into one of four primary headings, though choosing a best-fit category was sometimes a bit arbitrary.
