So as you can see, it was time for another software. One which could do the same and one which was… Continue reading here »»

Well, if you would like to be prompted before FireFox opens a pdf file then you really should use PDF Download, a great add-on for your FireFox.… Continue reading here »»

Some time ago when I had my doubt about switching my OS from XP to Vista, I wrote a post called :To Vista Or Not To Vista. Axioblogger from Axioblog left me a message and he told me this:

“Vista is cool. I like it well maybe I don’t use a lot of programs just the basic programs. The only thing is that vista uses a lot of battery power if you are using it on a laptop.”

Well, as I don’t have Vista running on my laptop so this wasn’t an issue for me.… Continue reading here »»
