google is by far the best, maybe just because it's big.(also, i think links or lynx is the best browser, it's so fast, but no graphics)

people will probably want to all change to VoIP phones, but think about it, removing all the phone lines....even if they go slowly, it'll cost so much and put the big companies out of business, our economy will screw up. and it'll take forever.

I prefer windows and linux. Now although there are more virii WRITEN for windows, doesn't mean you'll get infected. a smart user will almost never get virii. Same witha dumb user on mac may just stumble upon a virus for macs. Same with linux. For me, software for macs are harder to find, and much more expensive. Compare the photoshop prices. Also, getting a good graphic card for a mac or the equivalent on a pc..the mac's price can sometimes double, for the same card. And the power of the very minimal ammount of upgrades for a mac will bottleneck because they are slower. PC's nowadays are getting up to 4-5 ghz. Macs are still in the "stone age" 1.6 ghz and such. Lastly, when you need an upgrade for a PC, you usually only have to buy a few parts, a stick of ram, or a new graphic card or a new processor. For macs, you'd have to buy a whole new mac (which i say is extremely expensive). You pay around 900 bucks for something half or a third of what you could have bought for a PC.

well after 5 times didn't you learn to use one? your spelling is hard to read as well. Anwyays firewall is probably more important than antivirus, so if you go out purchasing, buy a firewall first. popups are one thing, but "letting" people access your computer is another.

Well i don't think anybody has said this. Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragment....your computer may be loaded with old junk that you did not remove properly. Disk Defragment sorts your stuff out so everything is together.

if you want it really small, get DSL and strip it all the way down. remove gui, remove everything. you can do ALMOST anything without GUI unless graphics, browsing the web, use links. unless you removed all that too.

i run on 1024x768, i would like to run at 1280x1024 but my icons reduce in size too much...not proportional to the area of my desktop..i would like 1600x1200 but i don't have that under my resoultion settings, even in my graphic card settings.

i have 2 in my room. a linux and a windows. we have 5 total in the house. I use the linux as a local server to store important files and such, and it's on a bridge connection to my windows computer. i also use it to test websites on apache, so before i upload sites i know they work.my first box is a whitebox amd64 3000+ @ 2.3ghzand my other one is an old amd k7 950+my parents room we have 2 more coputers, a sony vaio 2.8ghz and a chinese machine with 350mhz.the last computer in the house is in the kitchen, 450 mhz pentium 2, that we mainly use for just surfing the net.

i have, but compared to photoshop, it really doesn't do well. i think gimp is photoshop, just organization and where the tools are is different.

get a 9800pro 128 mb. it's alittle over a hundred bucks, but gives around 70-80fps in cs:s on most areas of most maps. you can overclock it too.

i would always have a firewall and antivirus on each computer, then a hardware firewall in my router. im thinking of getting a better hardware firewall that auto filters any attempts of access.

that site takes forever...im pretty sure they do pay..i dont have credit card or anything, so im just reading 1 cent emails...i only have like 17 bucks.

isn't 1.6 going to get shutdown anyways? source is out...and eventually 1.6 will be taken down, just like 1.5

that was one of the funnest flash games ever. remind me of...uh something metal or whatever, oh metal slug. but i couldn't beat the first boss.

there's fireFTP which is an add-on to firefox/mozilla/netscape. it's not like a browser ftp, its an ftp program (sort of like cuteftp) just in a tab.

itaim...thats not free. get something related to linux. there are a lot of light distributions...DSL (Damn Small Linux) is only like 60 megs or so. that's pretty much instant bootup. or else get yourself an empty slackware installation. there's nothing you cant do with linux, and you can always get a bigger distribution and remove all the packages.

its a little confusing at first, but it does everything for you. you dont really need to learn html or anything. i think the best way is to do websites by hand...using notepad.
