Jul 10, 2008 -- Clark unveils his "Tech 101" guide

Have you ever heard Clark talk about technology using lingo that befuddled you? If so, he's come up with an internet access glossary that explains some of the "techspeak" you commonly hear on the show.

The penny-pincher may be a self-professed techno-idiot -- he doesn't exactly know how anything works -- but he knows how to connect the dots between different technologies to get the cheapest results.

One caveat: Sometimes Clark's passion for cheap and new technology can bring you more frustration than savings!

For example, Clark once talked Christa and her husband into using early VoIP technology at home to save money on calling. But her husband got frustrated because it was difficult to use and didn't always work. Likewise, Clark's wife became upset with him just the other day. She needed to use her cell phone to call into a telephone conference line, and he had a cheap (yet difficult) workaround.

So know that if you want to go cutting-edge to save money, you are a pioneer and there'll be more effort involved. Most people want ease -- and that will usually cost you.

  • FireFox 3.0
    I have tried FireFox 3.0 and it does not display all portions of the websites I accessed with it.
  • VOIP
    I have used VOIP services from Vonage a year after its launch. It has been a real cost saving to me and my family. It is worth it.
