an operating system will for lack of a better word deteriorate over time. back in the day i used to reinstall win 98 every 3 or 4 months, usually because by that point it was running so badly i couldn't take it. plus with installing and uninstalli...

WIndows is like a car, you got to keep spending money and buy new ones every few years.

If that's the case, I would have your dad contact the vendor of the PC that the contract is under and tell them the problems the computer is having. It's not running as it should, they need to fix it if they don't allow you to do it yourself.

It's the same thing with a Mac. A clean install is ALWAYS faster than one which is a couple of months old.

I have a slight problem. I'm supposed to be doing some maintainence on my dad's surgery computers and it breaks their contract with the pc provider if I install any software other than what is provided. I've done msconfig, defrag and cleaned temp ...

I know this is a bit late, I would get Extreme or Airliner but I have X-Plane 9 aswell and that is very good. But it really depends on what sort of plane you like the best. I have 9, Trainer and Airliner my self.

mainly becasue there is less shit in the registry. or a clutterd hdd that may need de-fragmentation of something like that. usualy if everything is in order and is neat like when you install a fresh os it will run lightning fast, also if you keep ...

That's pretty much it in a nutshell. If I were a hacker looking for bugs to exploit, I wouldn't be looking for those bugs in OS X. While Apple may pay me $5k for a bug, Microsoft would offer more since it's a bigger risk for them.

Novice and New Computer Users

Novice and new computer users are disheartened by technology due to the flaws and problems plaguing Microsoft Windows. This leads them to thinking computers are terribly complicated and don't bother using them.

There are major differences between using a PC and a Mac. One vital factor is price. Macs are very expensive so people don't tend to think it is 'worth' it, so they buy a cheap PC instead. Great, what a bargain!

For £300 they got say for example, a 15" 2Ghz Intel Core Duo with an Intel… Continue

MySpace...Yuck!

Eh.... Yeh, where to start??!! MySpace is just a mess! A horrible mess! There are quite a few social networking sites around and MySpace is one of them. They are all good in connecting you with people you know, however MySpace is just about the worst I've ever seen! Layouts, advertisements and speed are all bad. It's just unbearable to use.

The homepage isn't so bad as it has a decent structure, however this is as good as it gets. Once you log in... well yuck! You are presented with a page FULL… Continue

People with iPhones

Do you know what really annoys me? It's people with iPhones who WONT use its full potential. They buy it as a fashion accessory and don't care about the cost.

The iPhone is an extremely powerful phone that revolutionized the way we used our mobile devices. It is completely unique with its simple design, ease of use and currently there is nothing else like it on the market.

Now these people with iPhones, why do they have them? Well as far as I know because it "looks cool". They don't care about… Continue

Finally a worthy contester to the iPhone?

I've loved the iPhone ever since it came out. It is truly an amazing device! However I have been unable to buy one due to its really expensive price! The contracts are just terrible value for money and is not worth getting unless you really NEED it.

There hasn't quite been a phone like the iPhone on the market. Phone companies claim they have made the new 'iPhone killer' when in reality their new phone just sucks! It is either really slow or the software is far too user unfriendly. Due to this,… Continue

Shay - The most touching story I have ever read!

Think harder about choices...

Two Choices

. What would you do?....you make the choice. Don't look for a punch line, there isn't one. Read it anyway.. My question is: Would you have made the same choice?





At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question:
