Hello. I produce a weekly adaptive technology newsletter, mainly directed to the blind community and those who support them. It is called Top Tech Tidbits...
... Hi Dean, Well my first reaction is RSS ... but you suggest that is not too good an idea. Try re-thinking it. Thunderbird (and the new Outlook Express ...
... Good idea to have a full backup that you can restore from if you wish. I find it healthy and good to start over however. Speed improves and registries...
... You should look at Acronis TrueImage and perhaps others, and then make your own decision. I have just reinstalled WIN 2000 and it is a grand catastrophe!...
Yes, Acronis has worked very well for me. I have restored images perhaps 5 times and it's always worked flawlessly. However, the restore was to the same...
the thing about imaged backups is that they eventually get old, outdated. But, nonetheless, I find them a handy thing to have (it can save my bacon). Me too,...

Hi In the new version has there been any changes to the way this runs because I am trying to run a version from the quick launch bar in XP and it is not ...
I've been using PopFile for a while (couple of years?) and run consistently around 98.75% success on the two computers I get mail on - using just a ...
Hi sisterscape and All, I haven't found the time to thank you all for your input. I ended up just downgrading. >sisterscape... ... No, I actually want that...
I think I lied when I said 99.5 (though I did get there once). I might get back to it if I can resist the temptation to keep tinkering with my buckets. Regards...
