| Article Title :: The Deal with DVD Duplication |
| |
| What exactly is DVD duplication? I hear people talk about DVD duplication and I always assumed that just meant copying the DVD, but I never knew how to do it or how it worked exactly. It turns out that it is a legitimate process that should be taken seriously.
DVD duplication literally is the copying of optical media. What is generally meant when people talk about DVD duplication is the production of small quantities of DVDs from existing master copies to recordable DVD media.
If you have some sort of business or personal project that is going to require the use of DVD duplication, there are companies that can help. As you search for a DVD duplication company, you will l (read full article) |

| Article Title :: TIP: Don't Forget About Your Power Supply |
| |
| Back in February, I updated my system and brought it into
the 21st century at last. With that faster, all-powerful,
new video card and processor in place, I believed I was
set.Lo and behold, I have learned a lesson the hard way. When
you upgrade your video card and processor, you might need
to upgrade your power supply also.It seems that if your machine sucks too much processing
power, the power supply will just shut down ... without
notice or clue given in advance. Just bam, and you are
staring at a machine that powered down in a tenth of a
second!A new power supply is on its way, and my power management
has been set to run with the fewest necessary resou (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Head for Home - The RIGHT WAY! |
| |
| Once again another phone call with Raymond McNally of RTDWebsolutions prompts me to tell you about a prime piece of "real estate" on your own computer, the HOME PAGE of your own internet browser!When you click HOME where is it taking you?Mega-giants online would love to persuade you to have
their site loading each time you go HOME, but is that an
efficient way to use it? No, it is not.Your own HOME PAGE should take you to the numerous
links YOU need and use, at the click of your mouse.By that I mean, if you have numerous startpage programs,
affiliate program links, online banking links, website stats,
administrative functions for your own website, etc., (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Clean It Up! |
| |
| Sometimes it pays to get back to basics. No, in this case
I'm not talking about marketing, but the "let's take care
of the equipment that takes care of us" basics.The longer I'm online, and living in this little town,
the more convinced I am that many do not know of, or
neglect to take care of, the simple things.My son's friend has called for the past three nights with
big computer problems. Big for him in the sense that he
can't keep enough ram open to run things nor stay online
long enough to even begin to surf.Why? Because his computer is really ticked *smile!*Let's face it, we all demand a lot from our computers.
And it also stands to reason that t (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Flashlights, Personal Safety Lights and Battery Life Issues Explored |
| |
| One very serious issue with safety lighting is that they run off batteries and in adverse conditions these batteries do not run at their peak optimum. This causes lights to dim and that could spell disaster for the user in a critical situation. More effort needs to go into the designing of lighting to insure that those who are in need have the light they need.Those who comment on battery life issues know all too well how serious these issues are. One recent comment from a member of a think tank indicated that there were not only issues in adverse weather with the battery life and dimming, but also with diffraction of the light taking place in mist, high humidity, fog or rain. So th (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Screen Shot: How Is It Done? |
| |
| Have you ever wondered how to make a screen shot? Just click the "ctrl" key and the "prt sc" key at the same time―but then what? Where did it go to? Actually, it didn't go anywhere―it's on hold in the same way as when we *save* something. When we *save* something, we have to put it somewhere. Well, the same holds true of "ctrl" (meaning control) and "prt sc" (meaning print screen). Is all that happens is that you took a shot (or picture) of the screen from your keyboard. Suppose the whole page doesn't fit on the screen? What then? Read on, and I'll tell you how get it all.1) To start, adjust the screen (with your scroll bar) and frame your picture.

| Article Title :: Why Network Documentation Is So Important |
| |
| Undocumented Networks
------------
I can't tell you how many projects I've worked on in which
the customer has little to no network documentation. The
reason for the lack of network documentation is varied. In
many cases this is both the fault of the customer and the
vendor / consultant who designed and implemented the
network. The vendor just does not do it and the customer
does not press hard enough for it. In some cases, technology
consultants do not feel it's important enough or want to
lock the customer into having to call "them" if something
goes wrong or a configuration needs to be changed.Not only is this poor practice on the side of the
consul (read full article) |
