    Ancient or Not?

    Pretty old :) Actually, you used to have to pay for browsers. Not to mention, a lot of the old dial-up companies (like Prodigy) had their own browsers. Microsoft decided that the internet would be better if everyone was able to get it for free - and how the world has changed.

    Adobe Photoshop

    There should be an Adobe folder in your C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Do a search on your hard drive for Photoshop if you cant find the executable (Photoshop.exe) You may have only downloaded the Dreamweaver for the CS3 suite, though.

    Whats the catch?

    I'm not sure any of the above know exactly what they're talking about - I'm not trying to insult, I just think there's a big misconception. Intel is the leader in manufacturing at the moment, but it doesn't mean you have to buy one. Just to let it be known I'm an Intel-owner, but you should...

    Hard drive won't get power

    Your new HD is probably broken --- you might want to see if you can get a return, even though you made a BADDD mistake

    End of internet as we know it 2012?

    I know this is becoming an old post, but I keep swaying back and forth on what I said. I think with the problems on the internet (mostly torrent/criminal activity/pornography related), this problem might be solved by charging the usage rate. But then with the politics involved, I start...

    World's Worst Web Designs

    All of these sites are old. This was during the time where Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro did not have as prominent a presence. Not to mention, Frames were considered a widely accepted design practice (early stages of html). I pray that no one with epilepsy comes across such pages, but keep in...

    WHich is the best Antivirus

    Why would someone use a product they knew was inferior? That's a dumb comment. People are going to use what they think is best - even if you think it's not. In my personal experience, I've used Norton, McAfee, TrendMicro, and Avast! As far as viruses go, they're universal, whether they...

    Microsoft sees end of Windows era

    They have not been with Windows since the beginning, they switched from DOS to their own version, MS-DOS, to Windows. Maybe you meant that they've stood behind Windows since its release? True. Widgets have been popular for a long time prior to when they were used in Linux. They grew even...

    What do you like about Linux?

    Goods: free, flexible, fast, secure Bads: graphical dependent games and problems with well established and universal Microsoft products

    Upgrade PC Processor?

    As mentioned in other places. The Socket type is the most important, usually motherboards have the drivers to work with any processor of that socket type, unless the processor is super new. Think of sockets like a power socket on the wall. Only instead of 2 pins for a cord you stick in the...

    system restore in xp

    As dragon said. It restores the computer to a previous state (programs, system files, registry, device drivers, et al), however those files still remain in your hidden restore files on your hard drive in case you want to go back to another date. Does that make sense?

    browsing folders very slow

    You may have done an XP upgrade recently that requires more ram. 512 isn't really a lot at all. In my opinion it is the minimum. I would suggest 1GB+ for XP. And at least double that for Vista. -- Especially if you're running games like CS. Go get avast antivirus for free. If you don't...

    Can PCs boot a CD-RW?

    Okay. I'm trying to figure out what has worked and what hasn't. So you're saying the CD-RW drive in question worked with the the newer PC, with the same disks? So the problem is not with the reader. If that is the case, then you could have a couple of other problems. First, the Motherboard...

    End of internet as we know it 2012?

    Nope. There is too much money in the internet to regulate it as has been said. If people are worried about the national economy now, what type of impact do you think this will have? There are millions of sales/transactions performed daily, the moment you start raising prices on this sort of...

    Can PCs boot a CD-RW?

    Sigh. You say you have newer PCs, you can install Linux, yada yada yada --- and you don't have an OS? Linux is an OS, it sounds more like you just don't want to do the work to update the firmware first. You'd either have to attach your reader to the newer PC and do it that way, or just...

    End of internet as we know it 2012?

    All of that doesn't make sense. The problem isn't page clicks, it's the bandwidth used that's costing them money. What will most likely happen is that they'll turn into a service like the mobile industry. Instead of paying for minutes, you'll be paying for bandwidth. If you go over, you'll...

    End of internet as we know it 2012?

    There is no way an ISP would institute a pay-per-click service. There's no way they could, they don't control the scripts/browser events, unless they force to use their own browser software, which would not be feasible and there would be too many alternatives. The only thing ISPs could do is...

    Can PCs boot a CD-RW?

    There's a lot of factors that go into booting. #1 is the ROM on the CD/DVD reader itself. You may need a firmware upgrade. #2 Could be with how the BIOS is seeing the CD/DVD reader, again a firmware upgrade should fix this. #3 Is how the OS is encrypted onto DVDs/CDs so depending on how...

    Intel to launch lower price quad-core CP

    You're right, software vendors are not utilizing 2 cores properly, but all that means is that the CPU is under performing it's potential. The performance gain is still there, it's just not being used to its potential. 4 Cores will be the same deal, the benefits are still better than the dual...
