I have tried this program and love it! I have used it for more than a year now and have made many games. This program is also great for making regular programs, like a chat program! If you want some free games made by this program you can got to: Game Maker Games Once again this program is AWSOME! THANX David H.

I have recentally compared both msn and google maps. both are great services, but which is better? Well google maps is certinally more popular but..... Msn maps has a great ZOOM function! it can zoom much further than google maps can. most of the pictures from msn are the same as the ones from google except for one funny thing; on Msn Maps when you try to go to the apple headquarters and see it from above, all you see is a dirt ground! My question is, is this an old picture or is it somebody from Microsoft trying to block out there competiters? I don't know but either way it's pretty funny. If you want to see this try it for yourself!Feel free to put any comments on this post.Thanx David H.

Here we go again, It's a new year and our virus protection is one year old; we need to upgrade. So we go to bestbuy, walmart, officemax, etc... and we're looking at there antivirus programs when we face a delima. Which to buy Mcaffee or norton. We ask one employee which is best, he says norton. We ask another employee which is best, he says mcaffee. Which one is really the best? The answerBOTH..... This is one of those things again where you're buying the name not the software. Some people like Norton and some like Mcaffee. My recommendation is to buy them both and see which one you like better! My personal opinion is Norton but that's only because that's all i've used! I've tryed mcaffe but wasn't used to it so i gave up on it. well now i think it's time for a second chance. Bottom line is they're both good so use your favorite. Feel free to post your favorite virus protection program!Thanx David H.

What we all have to do is think logically here. A lot of people say stuff like "Dell is a bad computer go with HP" Or"I hate alienware go with a dell" or similar comments. but what these people probably dont realize is that they both have the same insides! you can look at two computer brands like HP and DELL you may be getting the same exact specs but you're paying $1500 for one and $500 for the other. Your buying the name! Go with the one you like best not what other people say is the best.Ok ill get off of my soap box now

Hello everybody, This is my first post here and so far I am enjoying this service very much. I have a question for everybody interested. I am buying a new laptop for school this year and was thinking about buying the new Dell Inspiron 700m. Does anybody have this computer? And if so can you tell me if you like it? I am also open to suggestions for other laptops under $1500 that are portable and lightweight. Thank You, David H
