  1. Choosing Between Free Utilities?

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Myself. I would say yes. I like the ease of PC Tools better then Comodo. Less overall setup.

    Comodo comes with "Defense + Security" Features. But I just fight it trying to get it the way I would like. So I always turn that feature off and just run the firewall. If they ever make PC Tools Firewall for Vista 64. I would switch in a minute.

    But that's my two-cents on the two. Others may say differently.

    You can always try each one out. (one at a time of course). Run one for a couple of weeks, then try the other. Then decide which one you prefer.

    I use Comodo's firewall, it's small yet powerful.

    I used to run Zone Alarm. But to me it's a bloated program, And will slow your system down by using up resources. I used to believe in ZA until I started beta testing Vista and ZA wasn't compatible. After trying quite a few other firewalls. I came to see just how bloated ZA was. Now I run Comodo with Vista, and PC Tools Firewall with my XP build. (Personally I like PC Tools Firewall better.... But it's not compatible with the 64bit version of Vista, which is the one I run).

    And I would say Avast for your AntiVirus. But there are a lot of free firewalls and antivirus programs out there that work just as good.

  3. Ie8 Beta 1 Download

    Yes it has a couple of bugs.

    You have a hard time coping something. It's not sure what your doing.

    And some sites don't come in just right using it. Take a look at the "BestTechie" Logo at the top of the pages. The Logo offsets down from the rest of the logo field and onto the controls for the "calandar" and "members" Jeff may have to reset the Logo to fit right. Found a couple of different sites that do the same.

    But IE8 is it still an earlier Beta release. So keep that in mind.

  12. Vista Over Xp?

    Allot of Company's did not switch to XP for a good two or three years.

    Companies don't want to spend the money on anything they don't have to. So you can't really use companies as a good example.

    I remember the day's before even Windows 3.1 and 3.11. (those were the days). The switch to Win 95 was welcome. But the same thing happened when Win 98 came out. And it will continue into the next 1000 years. If nobody complained. What would be the use of change.

    I must be really old.

    our telephone didn't have numbers just 2 longs and a short ring.

    outhouses with a half moon on the door.

    army combat boots with 2 buckles on the top half.

    no television...just a radio with a 6 volt battery.

    no locks on the doors...just a button and a hook to keep it closed.

    kerosene lamps to do our homework.

    lash la rue and tom mix at the movies.

    nickel movies on Saturday.

    yes we did have a covered wagon before we bought our first car in 1949.

    I was 6 weeks old when japan bombed pearl harbor

    By Gosh....

    You really are older then the Average Jelly-Stone Bear...

  25. Never Question A Drunk

    in The Comedy Club

    Posted

    I was shopping at the local supermarket where I selected:

    a half-gallon of 2% milk, a carton of eggs, a quart of orange juice,

    a head of romaine lettuce, a 2 lb. can of coffee, and a 1 lb. package of bacon.

    As I was unloading my items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk

    standing behind me watched as I placed the items in front of the cashier.

    While the cashier was ringing up the purchases, the drunk calmly stated,

    'You must be single.' I was a bit startled by this proclamation, but I was

    intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since I was indeed single. I looked at the

    six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about my selections

    that could have tipped off the drunk to my marital status.

    Curiosity getting the better of me, I said: 'Well, you know what, you're

    absolutely right. But how on earth did you know that?'

    The drunk replied,

    'Cause you're ugly.'
