Q: I recently switched to Comcast for my Internet connection and now I can’t use the Send Page by E-mail feature in Internet Explorer. Nothing happens when I click the link.

Q: What’s the difference between the iPod touch and the iPhone? They look identical. A: Although similar in appearance, there are some pretty significant differences between the new iPod touch and the iPhone. For starters, the iPod touch lacks the email, maps, stocks and weather applications found on the iPhone. The iPod touch also lacks a built-in camera. And even though both the iPod touch and the iPhone have built-in Internet browsing and YouTube, the iPod touch is much more limited in connectivity due to its Wi-Fi only Internet access.
