Do you remember how long ago you have heard about Zip for the first time? I think it was even before Windows was invented. Internet was an unknown word yet at that time.

Multimedia Software For Video Encoding And Conversion
October 24, 2008 – 2:45 am
The multimedia age made all music devices I’ve used in my teens look obsolete. I grew up in the vinyl discs era and I have a great collection of such discs I don’t listen to anymore, but I can’t throw away either. Now we can do anything we want to our music: we can listen [...]
Computer Repair Tips That Never Helped Me
August 26, 2008 – 1:47 pm
I’ve only had experience with Windows operated computers, so this is what I’m referring to in here. Computer repair specialists were always hard to find, and many times we had to try to figure out a solution to fix a computer which stopped working, because no specialist would come home, and to take a PC [...]

If you are involved in a lot of internet activities, like social media or running blogs, you may need to have multiple email accounts. While both Mozilla Thunderbird and Microsoft Outlook allow receiving messages from multiple POP3 email accounts in the same inbox, not all web-based email services offer this possibility.

The theory sounds clear, but when it comes to [...]
Do You Spy On Your Online Competitors? How?
May 6, 2008 – 3:33 pm
I don’t spy on my competitors, for the single reason that I don’t compete with anybody online, at least for this website.
That’s because it is not focused on anything, it doesn’t have a certain target and I don’t want readers to do any specific action. It is just a toy and an experiment field for [...]
My Recent Documents displayed in Windows XP
April 9, 2008 – 4:42 pm
Probably Windows 98 users remember that in the Start menu there was a possibility to see your recently open documents (as far as I remember, the list displayed the last 15 documents you opened).
