About.com is a huge and extremely diverse website. I avoid listing their
topical pages when I'm doing special features because navigating their
site can be a complicated hassle but there's a wealth of useful information

Media Player on my computer but I can still play most audio or video files
with a costless app named Media Player Classic which can be acquired

or obtained as a component of the K-Lite or Mega Codec Packs from this site.

Linux is slowly coming into it's own as a serious, powerful, and
user-friendly operating system. Ubuntu is probably one of the
many very good reasons why. You can try Ubuntu Linux on your
system with a "Live CD" or get a copy of the install CD. If the
sheer size of the download intimidates you, just give them your
snail mail address and they'll send you a copy. This is
really awesome, check it out. http://www.ubuntulinux.org/

Lisa has a number of food sensitivities which prevent her from consuming
wheat, corn, or milk. The near impossibility of finding prepared foods
which contain none of these means that we do a lot of cooking. Cooking
for her and sharing her diet had a nice side benefit for me. I often have
heartburn and buy Tums in large bottles. I've learned that if I don't eat
wheat I don't need antacid tablets. Lisa has serious health problems
for most of her life and got no real help from conventional medicine.
What finally made a difference for her was a book entitled "Eat Right
4 Your Type". http://www.dadamo.com/

In the last issue I mentioned that reader George Gayman had
talked me into trying Opera. http://www.opera.com/free/
Opera is the nicest looking browser I've tried, very easy to
customize which is important to me, and it's got excellent
pop-up blocking. I really wish Slimbrowser, Firefox and
Opera all used the same Favorites folder so I could save a
site from whichever browser and then open it later in either
of the other two. Nor does Opera integrate well with some
of the media playing software on my system so I have to
switch to Slimbrowser or Firefox once in a while in order to
see or hear a website. Still, I like Opera a lot.
Thanks George.

ordered a gadget called a "router" (just under $20) that will
enable me to connect both of our computers to the same DSL
connection. Of course they'll both run a little slower but that's
not really a big deal when we're both used to having a dial-up
connection and DSL at half speed is still a heck of a lot
faster than dial up. It costs a little more than my dial-up
connection and I'll have to change my email address but
it's more than worth it. For the last two weeks, I haven't
been booted even once. *grin*
See you next time.

The most important people on the Internet, for you and I as computer
users, are software developers. The world's coolest computer, without
software, is like a car without fuel. It might look great, but what
can it do? It doesn't matter who produces the software you love and
use regularly, the developers of that software need your support.
A bit of advice from Internet veteran Bayard J. Fox:
New computer users are often in awe of the things you can get without
cost on the Internet. There can be hidden costs for the unwary. Use a
"throw away" email address to register, and be constantly on guard
against giving away personal information. Use a firewall, and provide
only the barest minimum of information on questionnaires.
