on 5/10/2008 Thanks for this helpful article. It’s easy but really helpful cause no one knows everything.
Even in your very own house, you don’t know where exactly things are located. The same goes for computers. You have been using them for years and years, yet you don’t know everything about it, unless you design it from the very start (you even mould your computer cover from raw metals). Thank you again.

on 1/29/2008 Thank YOU.... for the nice comments. I've been working with computers for many, many years, it intrigues me and I am fortunate to have a job that challenges me daily and pushed me to learn new things everyday. Writing article here are part of giving back and sharing some of what I have learned. I don't have nearly the time I would like to put towards this because ... Life gets in the way...
