Rose: I tried the new version of Outlook again (version 2003), and I got to say I love it - it has done a GREAT job of seperating my spam out with their junk mail filter.....

.... I have not tried fox mail.

Dano.. on my way thanks!

Rose: There's another site (I'll have to find it again) that you can get a sat pic of your house for free. I belive the free pics are 50m res and the pay-for-pics are 3m. On the 3m ones, you can read the headline on the paper in your yard.

Apple-Boss Steve Jobs told that in 2006 Macintosh Computers will use Intel Chips instead of IBM Chips. It is said, you can run the Mac-System AND Windows, but you won´t be supported by Apple. But you cannot run "normal" Computers with Apple System, so if you like to use MAC, you have to buy Apple-Hardware

about the socalled antispyware by the microsoft archspy-corporation ...
An Article by Anick Jesdanun ( The Associated Press ) - as expectable
- not only for prophets - . a neat debate started over what spyware is ... ... ~*~

danoschek, very interesting article. Personally, I don't care if software is called spyware, adware, maware, or any other name. If it is installed without asking me, it is BAD. It steals my system resources (hard drive space, cpu usages, memory, etc.). Further more, if I cannot remove it using the "add/remove software" applet, It is even worse.

Anyone have a Gmail test account?

Whoa! danoschek and nobleheart, Don't put me in the middle of something here. If you want an invite, nobleheart, just PM me your email address. For everyone...I don't give out email address without permission. Period.

it seems you haven't read. I took you out of the humbug in which you were put by that
selfdefined public annoyance (weekend: tue/wed) ... since I even had to ban him from
books it should be very clear that I would need his addy only to block it ... . ~*~

it would be nice if you could finally refrain from

Apparently information on approximately 200,000 accounts was verifiably transferred

i made my chase for the brand : Garmin

i am in doubt between 2 models :
the eTrex Venture
the Geko 201

i made a comparison between the 2 models which resulted in this

the price is about the same (also in local shops in my town or nearby)

advantages of the etrex :
- the etrex can run for 20 hours / the geko only for 12
- the etrex uses AA batteries / the geko uses AAA which are more difficult to obtain
- the etrex has 4 shades of grey while the geko has only black and white

advantages of the geko
- the geko stores 125 waypoints per route / the etrex only 50
- the geko is slightly smaller and half the weight of the etrex

i dont know about the importance of the other differences

i especially like the longer lifetime on the etrex ... but i dont want to give up 60% of my waypoints .. i think

does anyone has any suggestions ?

"I thought I'd drop you a note to give a heads up on something Google will be releasing
next week: a version of our Internet Explorer toolbar for Firefox", the e-mail reads. - while
microsoft spoofs icann entries to spam against opensource, quality speaks for itself. ~*~

the imitation is well crafted and identifies itself as "MS05-039".
don't use the link in it. microsoft updates are never sent via email. ~*~

morphy4ever:You can't use microsoft xp.it's not compatable with out a 516MB tower,you can lower it to 256 on the diognostics screen, but the XP will not run without the capacity of the proper equipmment.

*plop* any answers you know where to comply. ~*~ .

Hi have a question about Application Data for programs I have deleted and do not plan to use again. Can I go into Application Date, and delete the files for these programs, or will it cause problems somewhere else?

Your help appreciated

Any UNIX users out there? I just got through an ordeal with my mother's Compaq Presario. Windows XP stopped working and my attempts to reinstall the operating system failed because the Compaq version of Windows XP destroys the master boot record of the hardrive. It automatically loads 68 K of junk into the MBR directly from the BIOS. Then Windows XP cannot be installed any more because the Microsoft use of the master boot record and Compaq's become incompatible. The problem is so pernicious that Mandrake Linux and Sun Open Solaris failed to install. Finally, I gor Free BSD to install because it installs directly from DOS and the installation can be done without interacting with the master boot record. Now I have a nifty UNIX machine. I am really impressed with the KDE Windowing environment. You can set it to look like several other operating systems. It can easily emulate Microsoft Windows, a Mac, etc. Anyone out there using UNIX or Free BSD? Just curious to see if anyone prefers UNIX to Windows XP, or if anyone has gone through the operating system migration.

PhatPlaya: I've used UNIX but geez.. that was back in 1998.. and that was when I was with the gov..

Used Linux too.. but, not much to do me any good.. haha..

PhatPlaya: i used hp unix in college and sometimes use it at work now

i used to love unix because it was so 'light' compared to windows which simply loads everything an average users might need (and then some more :))

nowadays the linux distributions include a heavy graphical user interface (often kde) and several other processes which increases the load

my idea was to turn my old 200mhz machine in a fast unix machine ... but i dont think that will work with any of the standard new distributions .. so i will have to do some tweaking :)

i havent used it at home yet .. i am in the process of sorting out the data on my harddisks, back up the important parts, and format and install xp and linux on it .. i dont know which distribution yet though

i had linux on my pc at work .. but i couldnt get it work with the network card (barebone system with a network controller on the motherboard) .. found some sites about it .. but neither worked .. i gave up back then as i had more projects starting up .. will have to try again it in the near future :)

PhatPlaya: Any UNIX users out there?

Yes. I am one. One HP-UX-Server at university (my work) is from 1987, another from 1991. One is the mailserver, another one with graohics environment. I learned to use the program xfig there and still using it there :-)
