Fixing my Sluggish Laptop

One of the things that I have noticed lately about my laptop is that it is running slow.  The biggest part of the problem is that I have many windows open at the same time and it just doesn’t like it.

Replacing the Network Cables in the Office

From time to time we need to replace the network cables in the office.  The fact of the matter is things wear out, and they need to be replaced from time to time.

Computer Rentals for Business Testing

I have recently purchased some delinquent credit accounts, and I will be trying to collect on them.  We have rented some space in an office building and we will be setting up a collection agency in that space.
But we are unsure if this business will be viable or not.  Sure, crunching the numbers shows that […]

Need More RAM

I was so excited when I bought my new 24" LCD monitor - there was going to be so much more room on the screen to run more applications.  I could have tons of windows open at once!

Protecting My Computer Backup

Like many people, I make a point to backup my computer on a regular basis.  It would be horrible to lose all the information on it, so I make sure to keep my backups up to date.
But, one thing that most people forget to do is store their backup somewhere safe.  Think of it this […]

Hooking Up My Computer To My Gigabit Router

I just picked up a new router today that supports gigabit Internet.  Since we have a Media Center PC that we stream movies to in our living room, I thought the extra bandwidth would be perfect for our needs.
But our old network cable that we were using before just wouldn’t be fast enough.  So we […]

Surfing Safely on the Internet

I have been concerned for a long time about my privacy online.  You hear so many stories on the news each week about identity theft, and the financial losses associated with it.  Instead of being a victim, I figured if I were to be proactive about it, I could protect myself from any chance of […]
