Can I use Remote Desktop in this situation?
Comments (5)Thanks - I will try this just as soon as the latest crisis is fixed. I have NO IDEA what he does to his computer. His old one crashed 3 times. He just got a new Dell C521 a few weeks ago, and it has crashed too. I haven't gone over yet, but he says it's a black screen with a few paragraphs of info. Sometimes I really think it is Earthlink somehow causing it. Is that possible? He uses all of their junk....their browser, accelerator, spam filters. Maybe something with Earthlink is conflicting with Zone Alarm and AVG that he is using? I tried to have him only connect through Earthlink, then use Firefox for his browser with Google as his home page. Keep things clean and simple. Since it doesn't look the same, he can't deal with it very well. sigh....See MoreWant to get new computer...Desktop or Laptop?
Comments (8)If I were in the market for a new desktop, which I'm not, I would take quick look at the new HP Touch Smart. It comes with a 19" wide screen touchscrren monitor, and is just very, very slick looking. I ran into it at Best Buy earlier tonight and my mouth about dropped open. Also, it's stacked with some hot stuff inside. Take a look at the specs: Processor AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual Core RL52 with AMD PowerNow and AMD LIVE!

Comments (9)it might be easier to simply use your firefox's bookmark toolbar and put you icons to your most used sites right there on that toolbar then once firefox is open just click on the icon. To put any website icon on the bookmark toolbar in firefox, put the cursor on the icon at the beginning of the url in the address bar then drag it from there to the bookmark toolbar and let go.

Comments (2)The only clash would be if you changed varieties of poly---water based to oil/oil to water. I quit using tack cloths years ago---blue paper towels dampened with solvent(for the finish being used) works much better, in my experience. I also get better results with poly when using a Purdy(my favorite) or other good man made bristle brush. The china bristle is best for oil based finishes, while the man made is better with water based finishes. But, for me, the man made gives better results with both. But, with the man made brush, I find wiping any excess off the brush on the can/container causes air bubbles---brushing an area more than three strokes also causes bubbles....See More- 9 years ago
