Sometimes the PC takes control and does it all by itself! If you're like me, you like FREE, USEFUL,GOOD,FAST things- particularly the free ones! A NEW browser, from Apple "SAFARI 4" - just out, waiting for you! This site also gives you lots of other things, some of which you can use - I'm sure! http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/downloads/2191935/safari-windows (or just click the title!)

Here is a tip!

Here is a link to the subject! Copy + Paste or just click the title. http://www.cooliris.com/product/ If you are using Firefox, you probably know that there are things called "add ons" - little programmes which make life more amusing and often easier on the PC/Web. One of them is called "cooliris", and - beleive me, it quickens up life a lot! Basically it's a tiny programme which shows a little blue logo on links on pages you visit. Instead of clicking on these links, and waiting to see if it's what you thought or wanted, this programme opens up a "mini" sized preview of the page, which you can look at, and decide whether it's for you - or not! You can then open the link in full page, or close it and stay on the page you're on. You can even send the previewed page by email without leaving your original page - Good isn't it! It does this without leaving the original page, so going back and forwards with the arrows or history is obsolete....

The above image is a screenshot of an illegal (illegal because it didn't ask me...!) "Rootkit" which installed itself on my PC some months ago. I detected and eliminated the thing (From Windows-supposedly to help me to use their .NET Passport programme) using "AVG Antiroot Kit". If I mention this, it's just to show how easy it is for almost anyone to install something on your PC - without your knowing. It's also just as easy to get rid of it once you know it's there! Incidentally - NOT having this rootkit hasn't made the slightest difference to my .NET Passport services...! L'image en haut est l'exemple d'une "Rootkit" qui s'est installée sur mon Ordinateur, sans que je le savais! Dans ce cas, c'est une "Rootkit" installée par MSN (Windows + Hotmail) pour faciliter l'usage des programmes - je l'ai trouvée en utilisant "AVG Anti-Rootkit", et je l'ai détruit avec la même programme...!

Here I am - trying to understand: Windows_7_Developer_Guide_Final.docx Always on the lookout for new things, (iwmpop) mr le Marquis was allowed a look in at the proposed NEW Operating System from Windows, called: WINDOWS 7 - (probable release date late in 2009). The above link goes to the Microsoft Word page with a "pre-report" and description. For me, personally, this is important because it may open new possibilities for buying a new PC - cheaper...! No point in rushing to buy a new PC with the "unpopular" Vista system installed, when a new O/S will be arriving towards the end of 2009. Maybe the sellers of PC's with Vista installed will come up with "de-stocking" prices, rather than re-installing all those PC's with the new system - in which case maybe a good deal for me and anyone else wanting to buy a new PC. On the other hand, if they don't have special de-stocking offers, then why buy a new PC with an old Op...
