Comcast Blocking Mail to Comcast Addresses
I’ve had my share of issues with Comcast in the past, from being unable to stay connected, to them blocking outbound e-mail, and this one is just as frustrating. Just like most of my issues have been so far, it;s completely inconsistent fro...
Windows Vista for Christmas - Yuck

Last night I was working ofn a few things on my wifes laptop while we were watching a TV show, and like always, I didn’t “put everything away” and I left a Notepad document open with a few notes, and a few browser windows. This morn...
Modify the Windows Save As Dialog Box
After reformatting my computer, I posted about easily editing the “save attachment as” dialog box to enable me to save Outlook file attachments in the folders of my choice. That was a big help, but only solved half the problem, because wi...
Session Manager - What a Timesaver!
I just got done smacking myself in the head lamenting all the time I’ve wasted since this thing came out in September 2006. How often do you have to open multiple browser windows? Do you go through the process of opening “site a”, &...
