I’ve been using Google Docs for sometime now. Both at work and at home. Google didn’t initially make it easy to download or backup your docs but now they have. Here’s what you do:
From the main screen, select all…More Actions…Export. See some screenshots here.
Skype has no option to turn off auto starting on startup on the Mac.
There are two ways to remove auto-start options on the Mac:
System Preferences:
System Preferences -> System -> Accounts -> select your account -> select Login Items -> select Skype -> click the “-” box below to remove it from the list.
A quicker method:
Hold down the mouse button on the Skype icon in the dock. (Or right click on it).
Uncheck “Open at Login” from the menu that pops up.
This is a great article about someone that got in trouble financially. Even someone that should have known better was not immune to the lure of easy credit. Read his story here.
Kristen’s iPod Touch started acting up when attempting to go to the iPod store. The following message would appear:
“Cannot connect to itunes store” “Invalid argument”
Suggested actions from the Internet included rebooting the router or simply Renewing Lease in the iPod Wi-Fi settings (Settings…Wi-Fi…NetworkName…[Right Arrow button]…scroll down and select Renew Lease)
The IP address should begin with 192.168 but if it begins with 169.254 this indicates it doesn’t have a good IP address.
Finally, I did a cold boot (held down the power button for several seconds) . This seemed to help in reassigning a good IP address. I’m guessing Renew Lease would normally work.

Jane’s brother has a farm with a 13-acre lake. We always enjoy a day out there when we visit her family in Dallas.
The farm is located east of Bonham, west of Paris in Fannin County.
Avatar ***** Great movie. Very entertaining. Reminds me of when I first saw Jurassic Park.
At work we have a high-end workstation that came with a very nice 22in monitor. The monitor had VGA, DVI AND composite video input jacks! I’ve borrowed it before for XBOX night. This Christmas, at the top of my wish list is a new LCD monitor for me to use when I work at home sitting on the couch with my Dell notebook and MacBook Pro. I’m currently using a 15in LCD with the VGA jack for the laptop or the DVI jack for the MacBook. I’ve really wanted a bigger monitor and have kept my eyes open for one under $200. Stores don’t carry LCD monitors with a composite video jack so today I decided to call Dell and they were able to hook me up. They recommended the E2210 22-inch Widescdreen for $199. They are able to customize it and add a composite connection! I let the sales guy upsale me a speaker bar for $35. I told him it was $40 on the Dell site for small business. Small business always gets you better prices then Home. Doesn’t seem right. Anyway monitor plus speakers plus tax came to $220.83 with free shipping. I’m excited!
Update: In general I’ve had good experiences shopping at Dell. Turns out this wasn’t one of them. The monitor arrived today and it did NOT have the composite connection. It also does not have a stand I can rotate into portrait mode, but then I don’t remember if I specified that. It took almost 2.5 hours online holding and speaking with multiple people but I’m sending this monitor back and I’ve ordered the S2409W 24-inch Widescreen monitor with VGI, DVI, and HDMI. It was on sale for $189. The sound bar should fit on it. The person I spoke with today said the monitor I ordered could not be altered to add a composite connection. Arggggh! We’ll see if round two works out.
