12/08/2007 Duración: 20minSometimes a screen capture is the best way to illustrate something and I'll show you the best screen capture program available as well as a respectable one that's free.

05/08/2007 Duración: 19minIt's difficult to beat WinZip, but if you need a free file compression utility, you have a surprisingly wide choice. Can a magic keystroke reboot Windows? How can I hear the BBC on my computer? Is it safe to leave a computer in the car?

If you have a newsletter, such as the TechByter Worldwide weekly newsletter, you'll want to take a look at Your Mailing List Provider.

15/07/2007 Duración: 21minExcel 2007 is part of Microsoft's latest office suite and if you've ever been bothered by limitations of Excel 2003, you'll be in line to buy Excel 2007. Sometimes even a pack rat like me says "Enough is enough!" But what then? Internet (music) radio will survive the weekend.

01/07/2007 Duración: 23minFraud may arrive in your inbox as a card that claims to be from a friend or family member or as a warning against fraud.

24/06/2007 Duración: 28minMicrosoft Word 2007 is unlike any previous version of Word in many ways and most of the changes make the program more usable. As I continue working with Vista, I find features to like and others--well, not so much. A near disaster underlines the need for backup. Nerdly News considers cost and price of storage and Computerworld says OCLC is a good place to work.

Then it's off to New York City for a trip to the Big Apple Apple Store (and a reminder about the advantages of staying in Harlem.) In Nerdly News, a big spammer is in the slammer and one stage really is large enough for Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.

27/05/2007 Duración: 20minThe Bat is the most powerful e-mail application on the planet; is it the right application for you?
