My Journey With Vista III
We meet again. First things first. I was a bit remiss when I mentioned my friend James in my posting yesterday. I did not provide a link to his writings. Look at what James is doing by visiting his site. He has a Vista page located there that discusses dual boot with Vista.
Why Users Still Don't Get The Importance Of Update Software
Baseline is stating the obvious in its latest article of warning: Unpatched old software is a security hazard to your computer. Windows or Mac or Linux or any other operating system. Security updates are released for the sole reason of patching holes that open your computer to vulnerabilities. Yet many won’t update Firefox or QuickTime [...]
Add A Border To Specific Text (Word 2002)
In a previous article I outlined how you can add a border to a page in Microsoft Word. However, what if you only want to add a border to specific text? You can do this from the Borders and Shading dialog box. To add a border to specific text: Open your Word document. Select the [...]
Making New Friends
Serindipity is fun. As such, I thought I’d introduce you to a few of my friends. These folks are the 2006 Gnomedexers (at least, the ones who have signed up for our conference and have sites for you to peruse). You might learn something new from any one of these people – just click a [...]
Xoomer

Practice Makes Picture Perfect

My Journey With Vista II
As I mentioned in my previous article, I bought the available video card in town to use with Vista. It is the ATI Radeon 9250 with 256MB. Now this is a very nice card, but just one small thing is missing… Pixel 2.0 shading.
Change Outlook's Startup Folder (Outlook 2002/2003)
The folder that automatically opens when you start Outlook is referred to as the Startup folder. Normally it is your Inbox folder that appears first and from there you can open one of your other folders. Outlook allows you to configure which folder should be displayed when Outlook is opened. For example, you may want [...]
CCCS Credit Help
Based on an earlier report on Credit Card Counseling tips, we received word from a subscriber by the name of Diane. Seems we weren’t that far off with our initial CCCS information. Seeing as most of us have credit (good or bad), her underscore is quite relevant. I read your article on CCCS, and I’m [...]
