If you want to purchase a tablet, the only choice you had was Apple's iPad. It was a wonderful tablet but has some issues. Also, it was not cheap.

Now there is an alternative. It is called Android. There are several manufacturers making Android table and you can pick one up from $100 to $299. One of the most refined Android tablets is called Samsung Galaxy Tab. If you like Android phone, you will love this tablet.

I am a iPad user but I wish I had this Galaxy Tab. You can use both iPad and Galaxy Tab with PSPINC email service http://www.dreamersi.com

Do I recommend Macintosh?

Jan

16

Apple Macintosh has came a long ways. It was a nice and cute computer at first but it is now one of the most well built computers with well designed operating system. Do I recommend it to anyone ... No. Absolutely not.

Everyone is different and some can work fine with mac but many others will be happier with Widows. I should say some are happy with Linux or even no computers. It is a personal preference, nothing more.

I like Mac because it does what I need to do. If you are doing what I do, I recommend Mac. But I am sure you are not doing what I do, so I should recommend nothing.

By the way, I collect those old Macintoshes. If you have them please donate it to PSPINC's in house museum.

What is a consultant?

Jan

Is consultant a teacher or a coach?

A teacher should have more knowledge than the student.
A coach should be able to guide the client to perform better.

Many cases a consultant is neither. That is very unfortunate.

Defragment your computer disks

Jan

As you save, edit and erase files from your computer's disk drives, files in those disks gets fragmented. There is a software called defragmenter within all versions of Windows. You should run it once in a while (like once every 3 month) to help speed up your computer.

It is a good idea to replace (upgrade) your hard disk drive if you are using it for more than 3 years. When you copy all your files from the old hard disk to a new one, you will not have any fragmentation. Then you can format the old disk and use it as a backup.
