- I am going to tempt to wake up the memory of oldest among you. You remember
the exit of the first Macintosh, at Apple . How could you have forgotten this funny mouse,
"innovante" for the time, dressed of only one thick button on its superior part, who produced a
small particular click (whose sound reasons again in my ears)? This revolution
that Apple had introduced in the world of the data processing has the house was going to become the
contraption of your daily, and to arrange itself as a matter of course to quote them of th...

Recently I've been getting sick of connecting to so many accounts on so many different clients.
It's troublesome to maintain so many accounts/programs. I liked using Trillian for a while but
it took too much processor memory and it can't connect to Skype or Googletalk (which I
haven't downloaded, but will do so when I find a suitable Adiumlike program). Does anyone know
of an IM client which supports all the major IM protocols? That would be MSN, Yahoo, AIM,
Jabber/Google (well, Skype too but I guess it's optional). I've looked around the plac...

I read yesterday that Microsoft will remove Windows XP from store shelves in June 2008, and, will
discontinue support for older versions all together. I like Xp over Vista , I tested both myself,
Vista uses too many resources, I even have 4 Gig of RAM and I could tell it was still "Laggy and
slow" compared to XP or 2000 for that matters. What is your opinion? This website keeps up on

How can I get stuff to automatically happen with XP Pro? I tried putting stuff in AUTOEXEC.BAT, but
it didn't happen. Is there some environment variable that I can edit or something I have to
change to get AUTOEXEC to work, or is there another file that would have the same effect? Also, is
there something like that for shutting the computer down--that will automatically do/stop stuff on
shutdown?...

I heard that VPC was extremely slow and was very bugged. It requires a VPC CD/CD KEY. I suggest
using Guest PC, which you can find free, but all you need is a real Windows CD, not an ISO or burned
CD. Guest PC is also said to be less bugged....

Yes, maybe you're the few fortunately people that enjoy the brand new laptop or desktop PC with
OEM Vista, or something more, you got the bucks to buy the new OS of Redmond boys. But, as you can
see as a licence owner of Vista, this isn't bells and whistles. You found that something get
wrong when you plug the old device or you try to play your all-thru-the-years games. Don't be
panic, Microsoft maybe has not give exactly what changes will be in Vista SP1, -codename
'Fiji'- but some OS components which missed the RTM cut-off will almost certainly b...

QUOTE This article series will focus on “Windows SteadyState” – a completely free toolkit from
Microsoft that helps administrators take control of shared access computers running Windows XP. This
article series will include a short introduction to the possibilities we get with Windows

Just finished installing Xubutnu 6.06 Dapper Drake in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007., so I can have a
linux Web Server. Xubuntu runs pretty well with 512mb ram out of my 1.5Gb and a 2.6Ghz Celeron.

Even today passwords play a central role in system security. Here are ten myths of passwords with
using Windows: QUOTE Myth #1: My Password Hashes Are Safe When Using NTLMv2 QUOTE Many
readers will be familiar with the weaknesses in LanManager (LM) password hashes that made L0phtcrack
so popular. NTLM made hashes somewhat stronger by using a longer hash and allowing both upper and
lower-case letters. NTLMv2 made even more advances by computing a 128-bit key space and using
separate keys for message integrity and confidentiality. It also uses the HMAC-MD5 alg...

I have heard and that there is a Windows Vista Beta version going around. I have been to a torrent
site and found few there. But I’m not going to download it because i'm guessing it is illegal.
Do any of you here have Windows Vista Beta? If you do what are the system requirements for it to
run. And i have heard there are few versions of this beta, one without the graphical 3D software
(decreasing system requirements), and one with it. Is this true?...

new windows version comes out 2006? its called windows version long horn? i dunno.... do u know

You knew it was coming and its now true. Apple will soon offer Windows XP support on Macintosh
systems, a strategy designed to attract new converts. The option, called Boot Camp, is currently in
beta form, and allows Windows XP to run on Intel-powered Macs. "Apple has no desire or plan to sell
or support Windows, but many customers have expressed their interest to run Windows on Apple's
superior hardware, now that we use Intel processors," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice
president of worldwide product marketing. " We think Boot Camp makes the Mac even...

I found this reading a few articles on yahoo figured id share this: This is a good simple
refference for begginners. getting into PC's: Some terms pop up so frequently that you'll
find it worthwhile to memorize them, or at least understand where they come from. That way, you
won't be caught flatfooted when your first-grader comes home and asks whether he can download a

have a problem with your computer, tell them that the hassles occur when you're "runni...

Well if you haven't already heard here is the news brief, Windows 2000 server and personal
editions will no longer have support given to them as of June 30, 2005 and therefore no more
critical and or recommend updates. I knew the day would come when they would stop the support and
basically force everyone who wanted to remain updated with the latest security fixes and what not
would have to upgrade to windows XP home, professional, and or corporate. Therefore, making it so
that people have to buy the upgrade or full install and most people can't afford the pri...

MICROSOFT HAS started implementing features in upgrades to Windows XP which specifically prevent
users of pirated keys from upgrading parts of the operating system. Microsoft said its Genuine
Advantage scheme would prevent pirated copies of XP from downloading anything but the most critical
downloads. Owners of pirated keys in Western Europe tell the INQUIRER that scheme has now kicked in.
What this means, for example, is that if you upgrade the Media Player to version 10, and you're
using a pirated copy of XP, you'll lose functionality on your machine. Microsof...
