I've Never Donated BeforeI know exactly why I made the dontation. (I've never made a donation to a site like this before; in fact, I've never seen a computer site that asked for donations.) I made the donation because of three things: (1) the very generous 50% discount, (2) the high quality of your backup article (which confirmed my earlier decision to buy Acronis True Image 8.0) which included observations about specific shortcomings in the software and (3) the winsome, gracious, candid tenor of your website generally and your request for financial support in particular. In other words, I made a small donation because you are who you are. Isn't that the way the world generally works? People hire you because of who you are, expressed largely by what you've already done. All the best to you in the months ahead.

Mini-Review of Ink$aver (Money$aver)What is Inksaver ? - That sounds like a silly question. It saves Ink or in other words Money because Inkjet Ink not only cost two arms and two legs, but is more expensive than vintage wine and oil at more than US$2000 a gallon.
And your Gosh it's cheap Guzzlejet (I mean Inkjet) printer is basically like a High powered SUV in that it is thirsty and drinks lots of it even when you don't step on the accelerator. How do you fix the problem ? In one word. Inksaver ! So if you want to save money, read on. And believe it or not, like Fineprint, (which also saves you Inkmoney https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=6519.0 ) and Print2Flash ( https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=7969.0 ), Inksaver is unbelievably also another Work of Art and is almost idiot proof to use, and which I forgot about since it works wonderfully and so unobtrusively in the background. |

Whats the best program to learn typing?I can bear the shame no longer, and the truth must be revealed - I do not know how to touch type!
I spend the majority of my day, and lets be honest, more time I should at home, in front of a computer. I'm a programmer, and not an author, so I don't need to go 80 words/min, and I've gotten pretty good at -hunt-and-peck, but I want to learn how to type. A quick google search comes up with dozens of programs, each of which would have me believe are the absolute last word in perfection. I found this site - http://typing-softwa...are-definitions.html, which compares some of them. |

VMWare Workstation 6 is released todayVMWS has finally gone out of beta and is released today. With this version, VMware's support for Windows Vista moves from "experimental" to mainstream. Personally I am most looking forward to these new features:

Sun: Pay open-source developersThings have to change here, I agree 100%. It's just not right that people are getting rich off of open source coders and not giving anything back. On the other hand, if people can figure out a way to share some of the revenue, Open Source could become a much more attractive choice for programmers, and we would all benefit. Sun is proposing that open-source developers be paid for the revenue-generating technology that they have made available for free. http://news.yahoo.co...qJVXdX7Z02mQEPojtBAF |
