Just to add another alternative to the discussion --
http://wubi-installer.org/
I've actually tried this under WinXP and Vista. The Wubi installer will either automatically download Ubuntu and install it for you (best used with a solid, fast Internet connection) or it will work with a...
This is truly strange. The thing is that these operating systems will save the keyboard state that was last in use when you shut them down. You can see some pretty odd effects from that.
For example -- If I log on to my notebook computer using remote desktop from my desktop system (which...
What will work best for you depends very much on personal tastes and budget. Let me just tell you my experience.
First of all, I'm 77-78" and 200 lbs. Airline accommodations for me can be a bit tight (leg-room-wise) even on those occasions when I get treated to business or first class. If I...
I guess I'm just partially stuck back in the "time bomb" mentality. Was anyone here, besides me, affected by Ashton-Tate and the DB III+ memo field fiasco? With issues like that one you were safest having a complete backup for at least each week, if not each day, over the history of the...
Heh. For at least some people a serious data loss will help them achieve the motivation needed to be sure that the backups to external media do get done. I don't have a lot of sympathy for those who get kicked in the left grape and offer the right one.
;)
Now, insofar as where you get your...
Bwa-ha-ha-ha! You're hopeless! But I do sympathize. For me the crushing loss came when I could no longer use PC Write (the old one, not the thing that they call PC Write nowadays). Once you get past the learning curve of any powerful text editor it becomes your special buddy, maybe even your...
Another opinion on backup methods.
I've been an avid backer-upper ever since it had to be done with floppies. Hard drives are good for certain types of backup purposes, but there's a place for "permanent" backups, too. I've been using optical discs since they first became available -- the old...
I am specifically saying that you have specifically overcome any specific doubts I may have had.
Ya, it sounds like a job for OnTrack or someone similar. But you really have to want the data back to do that.
Hey, did you get to give your friend the "Thou shalt always back up thy data!"...
Well, before you go the expensive route -- you didn't specifically say that you had tried slaving the drive on another system. If you haven't tried that, I'd give it a shot before going to a data recovery company. But freezer tricks and attempts to reboot the drive as a system drive are not...
Yeah. I'm looking for something, too. I have two USB-connected printers that I'd like to stick in a rack with my wireless router and cable modem. I've looked at the devices mentioned so far and haven't exactly been blown away. Rather than spend something in the neighborhood of a hundred bucks...
Not familiar with the other two, but I can recommend KeePass very highly. I think that you should be able to adjust to working with it pretty easily. Of course your working habits would have to change to accommodate the fact that you would now be working with a system which stores your username...
Oh, well then I got nuthin'!
But I'll watch with interest, and look around to see if I can find something. It's a weird one all right. I hope you find out what it is, and share it with us. Might be a fun thing to know.
