    News How my Apple Watch proved the ultimate travel necessity when I spent a week halfway around the world

    It has some great features to be sure. But I noticed that many of the things you needed to know could have been supplied by the people around you that live there. And yes, many speak basic English in Japan. You would have met many, many more local people this way. One of the best ways of...

    What Backup software is recommended for incremental type backups?

    As I said, just mirror one folder in another destination. I would think everyone would want this requirement in a backup. If you delete something at the source surely most people would want it deleted at the destination. In case of errors it would be good if the past backups weren't deleted...

    What Backup software is recommended for incremental type backups?

    So I tried it and am perplexed. I set up the source and destination and hit Synchronize. Nothing appeared at the destination. I must have done something wrong. I checked the website and found no Help file. There's a screenshot but its blurred and unreadable. There is a small help file...

    When I add or modify something I want it to be added to the backup. When I delete something I want it to be deleted from the backup.

    Will Memtest run faster on a SSD compared to a CD?

    So the faster the memory the sooner memtest should take to check it? That is if I'm comparing 2 sticks of memory of identical size.

    Will Memtest run faster on a SSD compared to a CD?

    Memtest takes so many hours to finish. I was wondering if it would help things any to run it off a SSD drive instead of booting off a CD. Or maybe a USB 3.0 thumb drive?

    Compaq CQ56 ignores Alt F4 command

    I'm trying to fix a friends notebook (Compaq Presario CQ-56) with Win7 and Alt_F4 doesn't work. I use that shortcut a million times a day when working on a computer. I'm guessing some Compaq driver is overriding the normal OS function. Anything I can do besides take a hammer to it?

    WORD 2003: how to add characters when the line is centered?

    > Yes, the names are there at the top left. Why can't you see them? Don't know. Just a green envelope icon below a mustard colored circle and above the 2 words blue "More Information". I just tried the page in another browser and before I logged in the names showed as per normal. After I...

    WORD 2003: how to add characters when the line is centered?

    I selected PhilFrisbie. It says so above doesn't it? And why does Toms Hardware not show any names of the commentors? Just "More Iinformation". This seems like a recent change.

    WORD 2003: how to add characters when the line is centered?

    I have a title to a page that is centered of course. But I want to add a sort of footnote off to the side in much a smaller text size. But I don't want to change the centered position of the title. Is this possible? I don't even know how to describe this...:)
