Ok. After much complaining and whining, I finally got my Surface Pro. My purchase plan had to update a little, but everything seemed to work out nicely.  I had planned to get the whole package from Best Buy but, if you read my previous crazy rant. You know that didn't work out. I ended up watching the Microsoft Store website like a hawk and on Feb 16th, they showed up as available for order again with a projected delivery of March 1. Click! Went my order.  But, just for the tablet. I … [Read more...]

I've been looking at getting a Microsoft Surface  and was on the fence until they announced that there was a 128GB Pro version that was capable of running full desktop applications.  When I saw that, I had to have it! I've been waiting and watching for the release date of February 9th to come around.  This device in all it's glory would only be available from 3 locations;  The Microsoft store, Staples and, Best Buy.  None of these retailers offered the ability of pre-order so, I … [Read more...]

Everybody may already know how to do this but, I didn't and it was driving me crazy.  And, since I will have to make this change again sometime, I'm posting it here. Ever since I switched over to Wordpress, I've been stuck with a two (2) meg file upload limit.  I thought this was a bit crazy because I self host this site and have full control over every aspect of the server.   Since I don't give myself any limits anywhere else (I'm such a good host) I didn't like having one here either. … [Read more...]

Clear Lost Content Adviser Password

February 14, 2011 By 1 Comment

Got an interesting from a friend out of a while back. In her e-mail she asked: My dad, who is 67 and knows nothing about a computer – nothing – is trying to operate my late mother’s Dell, so that he can use the internet. The problem is, Mom had put so many content blocks on it with parental controls that he can’t even get to the google. It prompts him for a password. I have no idea what this password is, and I was able to talk him through to get to the Tools/Internet … [Read more...]

Right-Click :: Select New :: Shortcut

Here's a quick and simple "How To" for you.  I had this question posed by a client the other day and it made me think.    This Client is a fan of FireFox.  It is his default browser and tries his best to NEVER use Internet Explorer.  But, as is the case with most things, the more you try to keep from using something that's right when you find out you have to. This was the case here.  He had a vendor's website that would only work in IE AND he needed to use this website alot so, he had … [Read more...]
