Aaaaaaaaaaaaah. There must have been an automatic update last night, I came in this morning to a signin screen and the computer was booting from scratch. Of course, I immediately turned around and went for coffee; it's not a quick process. On my return,

Until today I have been reviewing my gmail spam folder each day or so, and marking all new spam as read when I've reviewed it. Most of the time that works ok, but I've noticed that there are times when I get spam with a presumably deliberately

As I find them.. Gmail: I've seen 20-30 good emails caught in spam, so check it often while you train it. Since I don't want to check the same message twice, I mark the spam as read whenever I check it. Then, to check just the unread spam you

When I asked if I should install Vista and/or Office 2007 , I really didn't know what to expect. Geeks can be funny, and although wanting to install all the latest doo-dads is common I've heard a lot of whinging about Vista. In the end, I just
