While I’ve been a Thunderbird user for ages already, it has taken me ages to get used a bit to the ‘minimalist’ way of quoting or replying in Thunderbird.
For those who haven’t noticed, instead of the detailed information Outlook shows you when you decide to reply or forward an e-mail, Thunderbird by default only gives [...]

Who hasn’t heard ‘Make sure you backup all your important data frequently, you never know when it might come in handy!’ before? Not too many people I guess. Nonetheless, I’m very sure even less people actually have made backups of their documents, photos or other important data in the past month…
Personally I’m worthless as well [...]

Who doesn’t know the standard scenario, you installed your PC ages ago, and ever since options have been coming into your right click menu in Windows; your anti virus, media players, adware remover and perhaps even some adware itself…
Often these options slow down the right click menu to appear, highly annoying if you’re as much [...]

The title isn’t true for everyone, though Microsoft has, surprisingly, silently given all their enterprise and OEM clients the option to downgrade the licenses to the good old XP, instead of the Vista Business and Ultimate editions – not weird that people demand this, it happens after every update, but it’s the first time Microsoft [...]

Nearly all tech savvy users have at least read the name ‘GPL’ once or so when they’ve installed some free (as in free speech, not beer) software, such as OpenOffice.Org or perhaps Foobar.

One of them used to be ‘FoxIT Reader‘, but recently I [...]

The vacations are coming up again, which generally means making a lot of pictures for a lot of people. With digtal camera’s taking over the world and such, it’s becoming more and more popular to share these photo’s with friends and family, sometimes even with the whole world.

The problem with a whole load of photo’s [...]

Hard disks are slow, very slow, most likely you’ve noticed this at least a couple of times in the past weeks when for instance copying a big file from one partition to another or to another PC. You can’t do too much about that, though you can speed up the way Windows transfers files a [...]

Microsoft recently bought a company with the name of SYSInternals last year, and finally they’ve released a bunch of the tools they got their hands on when buying it.
One of these tools is ‘ZoomIt v1.50‘, which is available for free for all Windows versions, even the Tablet one. What this tool basically does is [...]

Tech savvy people tend to be lazy, very lazy. Perhaps you could also consider it inventive, but speaking from my own experiences, mostly lazy. That’s most likely also the point where software was created to connect to remote access another PC.
As I’m also fairly tech savvy, and above all, pretty lazy (read: inventive) myself [...]
