I use a Westell 6100 supplied by Verizon for my DSL service. It's in bridge mode (= switching off the internal router and turning it into a set of blinking indicator lights) connected to a Linksys WRT54GS router. The lights that come on for me are Power, Ethernet, and DSL. USB and Internet have...

Might sound a bit simplistic, but isn't it necessary to actually click "Accept" for the EULA in order to initiate a Win 10 upgrade? No accept EULA, no install. Or am I wrong?

I have an Epson Stylus C88+ that is a few years old but is still available. It was cheap to buy and cheap to feed, so long as I do the following: 1. I buy my ink on Amazon. Genuine Epson only, no off-brands. 2. I set my default printing preference to "Draft". 3. I leave the printer switched...

I have always found the National Institutes of Health http://www.nih.gov/ the U.S. National Library of Medicine http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/pubmed.html and the Mayo Clinic http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions to be excellent, up to date, unbiased medical sources.

For the past year or two, it seems that I get my best deals by shopping and comparing on Newegg but actually buying what I want from Amazon or B&H Photo. It's kinda hard to beat lowest prices, free shipping and hassle-free RMAs.

Sometimes a SATA III device attached to a SATA II mobo will need a jumper placed across some of its pins to throttle it down to SATA II speeds. I have a WD SATA III spinner drive that needs this to work properly with my SATA II mobo. Other mobos and device combinations will work just fine...

I'd look into laptop mobile mouses/mice. I don't know what shops you have to choose from in Norway.

Avast will support XP until sometime in 2017. https://blog.avast.com/2014/03/12/avast-will-continue-to-support-windows-xp-for-home-and-business-users/

My desktop machine uses Win7 but I also use a Toshiba laptop from 2009 daily still with its original Vista SP2 install.

[ahem] :D Okay, okay, you've convinced this long-time (11+ years) WinZip user to try 7zip. Though, to be fair, my version of WinZip is 8.1 and cost me $0.

Paint Shop Pro v5.03. Yeah, it's ancient. But it was only $5.

I burn DVD+RWs, DVD-Rs, and CD-Rs all the time. But never DVD-RAM.

Either GTA IV (just $10 at Walmart) or Euro Truck Sim 2, both on my PC. I really need a steering wheel for ETS2!

And how. I had two Asrocks fail in 18 months. Never again.

My dad has occasionally erased or poked into my files that I leave on my desktop when I'm not around. He's shut off Defraggler in the middle of working, and closed Firefox tabs that I had left open for news items I hadn't read yet. I had to create a separate user account just for him, with his...

Epsons are tough to unclog because the printhead isn't part of the ink cartridge(s). HPs give you a new printhead with each cartridge change. The only way I was able to really, really unclog my Epson C88+ heads was to get a small medical syringe connected to a small piece of tubing that fits...

Gigabyte or Asus are the top two brands, from what I understand.

1. Launch Firefox 2. Tools -> Options -> Content tab 3. Check the box marked "Block Pop-Up Windows". 4. Click OK and restart Firefox You may also need to install AdBlock Plus. Doing those two things means I haven't had pop-up ads in at least 6-8 years. :)

Most ISPs frown on home users operating servers. Mine (Verizon DSL) specifically forbids it in their Terms of Service.

Avast slows my system down unacceptably when transferring files from one hard drive to another, and populating things like Programs and Features in Control Panel. If I disable shields for any reason, I need to reboot to get them all working again. AvastSvc.exe takes up to 80% of my CPU cycles...
