    Suggestions ???

    Yeah it's like a duffman feeling ;) oh boy.. did i just say that ? lol messenger plus is fine, just make sure you read the 'do you want to install this great spyware which screws up your system' before you click OK ;P edit: oh yeah, and INSTALL FIREFOX. It's the safest thing you can...

    Suggestions ???

    You don't have to format, although it's the quickest solution. My plan of attack would include: * Press ctrl+alt+delete and close all unfamiliar processes * Run a virus scan - if you don't have one installed, try Panda ActiveScan or HouseCall which are free online scanners. * Clean out...

    missing drives?

    Gz on solving the problem :) Re the floppy thing.. there are two ways - install a USB cd writer or USB portable disk drive or USB flash key, or connect it via crossover cable to another computer or laptop, and transfer all your files across that way. For future reference anyway :)

    ENG ext2

    Heya sladehk, It is very time consuming, but it's quite a fufilling subject. What you need .. well, you need to have studied english extension 1 in year 11. That's the only prerequisite ;) It helps to have an idea of a major work you want to create, however; it's also good to know your...

    Some auction houses have warranties because it's ex-display or older model stock. See graysonline.com.au for example.

    Suggestions about new comp

    Excuse the long post but.. This is a bit off topic, but this is the most important thing you've said. I'm not blaming you or anything but it is SO important to say 'I want object x, I will be using it in this way and this way and this way'. It helps everybody else think about your needs...

    Suggestions about new comp

    Not forward-compatible, jm.. backwards. I have three boxes sitting in my room at the moment, and my sister has a computer upstairs. Given that I'd only upgrade one of those computers at a time, it makes sense that I'd want to take the RAM I have at the moment and put it in one of my other...

    Suggestions about new comp

    That's up to you now isn't it ;) Nothing about a computer has to be aesthetically pleasing to anybody other than you.. SP2 is service pack 2, which is an update for Windows XP. It improves wireless network compatibility among other things. Security-wise, make sure your wireless network...

    Suggestions about new comp

    Ahh okay, I've heard of no complaints from my friends, but thanks for the headsup. I think RAM is something you may keep between computers, so it's worth getting something which you know will last. Same with hard drives (why pay less and risk it failing).

    Suggestions about new comp

    For uni, get 1gig (usually 2x512) of RAM, a non-generic brand. Large calculations (or mistakes, in my case) in Excel tend to use up a lot of RAM and you never "only" have Excel open.. A Sony case will be expensive? (I can't see Sony having cheap anythings) If you're feeling adventurous get...

    If the only thing you do with your photos from a digital camera is email them, it might be better to adjust the settings on the camera itself.

    data org lab times...

    In your own time, on the uni computers or on your own computer.. Essentially dorg is more of a theoretical subject, but the lecturers include practical exercises and assignments to help you learn how to actually use certain data structures. It helps to have a good grasp of C and/or Java...
