Resize Images the Easy Way |
|
|
|
This is one of the easiest ways to resize large groups of photos at once and also one of the few free programs I have found that works with both Windows XP and Windows Vista!
1. Download the picture resize file here to your Windows Desktop for easiest access
2. You can resize one photo or an entire folder at once! In the example below we will resize an entire folder. Simply drag the folder that contains the photos you want to resize and drop it onto the PhotoResize icon on your desktop. |

What is Dual Core? |
|
|
|
 Dual core is the equalvalent of having two processors in your computer. You will have twice the processing power than with a normal processor. This can be an advantage if you do video editing, work with high end graphics programs or use your computer for intense gaming.
Do you need dual core? Well it's never bad to buy a computer thats faster than you need, but if you only surf the web, send emails and type an occasional document, then probably not. |

How to buy a good surge protector |
|
|
|
 Just because you have a power strip under your desk doesn't mean your computer is protected from a power surge. Many cheap versions of surge protectors are on the market and will do literally nothing more than give you extra outlets. One sometimes obvious way to tell if your getting a good surge protector is the price. You generally need to spend $30 - $45 for a decent surge protector. If you want to verify how good a surge protector is, check the box to see how many joules of protection it has.
This tells you how much energy the surge protector can absorb before it fails. A higher number indicates greater protection. Look for a protector that is at least rated at 2500 to 4000 joules. Buy the best you can afford and it should pay off later. The price of a good surge protector is always less than replacing the system board or power supply in your computer.
