It’s the same old story… You just sit down for dinner or you settle in to watch your favorite program on television and the phone rings.  It’s one of those pesky telemarketing firms wanting to sell you the latest and greatest things since sliced bread, or the carpet cleaning company offering you some great deal [...]

In this day and age of email overload I find that I am having to contribute to the overload because individuals that I have exchange email or telephone calls with have committed to do something that invariably it gets buried in their hundreds if not thousands of email. Ultimately they forget the deadline unless I [...]

If you are a user of Auctiva I am curious to hear your feedback about this auction management system.  I have a number of items that I am going to want to put on eBay and after searching through listings on eBay itself to see what people are using Auctiva came up quite a bit.  [...]

“Track 0 Indicator Failure…” “Drive Sector Not Found…” “Drive Read Failure…” ”Seek Failure…” If you have used computers for any length of time you undoubtedly will be faced with error messages similar to these.  If you’re also like most of us you’re not going to have a recent backup to recover your data.  I’ve been in this situation and absolutely needed [...]
