The end of the Road for XP

Many of you have ordered new desktops and laptops through me in recent times. In which case, you will know that, in general, I recommend getting Windows XP over Windows Vista for a variety of reasons which have been well publicized.

I just heard that your last chance to order a ThinkPad Notebook or ThinkCenter Desktop from Lenovo (formerly IBM) with XP pre-installed is May 20th. After that, all systems from Lenovo can only be ordered with Vista.

An XP downgrade DVD may be available to order separately - for a price - but don’t count on it!

Dell have said that they will be selling a Vista Bonus Pack with their systems - which will come with the option to run XP or "upgrade" to Vista until 2010.

Sony plan to sell a few laptops with XP preloaded until the end of June.

Microsoft have said that XP will not be available to purchase after June 30th (except preinstalled on ultra-portable low-powered laptops that are incapable of running Vista such as the Asus Eee)

If you were thinking of buying a new system (and its not an Apple) then this your last opportunity to get XP.

How to recycle your old computer equipment and make money at the same time
http://blogs.pcworld.com/tipsandtweaks/archives/006142.html

Free phone calls with "Magic Jack"
Use this USB device to make free phone calls
http://www.magicjack.com/site/index-11-1.html

This is a free way of making phone calls within North America using a real phone.

You have to buy the hardware - $39.95 for the first year.
You plug the device into your Windows PC or Mac
The device assigns you a phone number.
You just plug in a landline phone and dial
If you are in a hotel and don't have a phone handy to plug into the device, you can dial using an on-screen keypad and plug in a headset and mic.

Moving off AOL

Many of you are very happy with your AOL account, but there are those that have expressed a desire to move to an different email service but are concerned about how difficult AOL has made it to transfer your favorites and address book to your new email provider.

Well, I have found this program from Connected Software http://www.connectedsw.com/Overview/57266 which for $24.95 will allow you to transfer your AOL data to a more universal email client such as Outlook or gmail.

Definitely worth a look if you are thinking of moving off AOL.

Windows XP to Vista upgrade

If you were thinking of upgrading your PC from Windows XP to Vista, you may want to read this article first...

Daylight Saving Time comes into effect March 11th

This year daylight saving starts 3 weeks earlier and ends one week later than usual.

This will affect computers and certain other devices with a clock, as well as software applications with time stamps (such as Outlook). Any device that is not patched may end up with "unwanted" results when the time change comes into effect i.e. your Outlook Calendar may get messed up. You can read about it here http:// support.microsoft.com/gp/dst_topissues#A1

If you have a Digital Video Recorder, you may consider checking with customer service at Time Warner Cable or TiVo, just in case they are not pushing out an update automatically. I have a Replay Digital Video Recorder, and had to go through hoops to update it.

As far as your PC's are concerned, as long as you are completely up to date with your Microsoft Windows and Office updates, your computer clock will be patched correctly and update itself on March 11th... and your calendar programs should continue to function correctly.

To check if you are fully patched, go to
