For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX),Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,

‘If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.’

In response to Bill’s comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash…….. Twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive – but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single ‘This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation’ warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask ‘Are you sure?’ before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

10. You’d have to press the ‘Start’ button to turn the engine off

PS – I’d like to add that when all else fails, you could call ‘customer service’ in some foreign country and be instructed in some foreign language how to fix your car yourself!!!!

Please share this with your friends who love – but sometimes hate – their computer!

The recent update of Firefox 3.6.2 changed the place where it loads any new tab you would open.

Previous versions were loading new tabs at the end of the tab bar.

This update loads new tabs next to the tab you are in and this creates massive confusion since people have started to lost new tabs because there were expecting them to be at the right end of the tab bar.

To change this as it was before, do as follows:

- Open a new Tab in Firefox and in the location type “about:config” and hit enter
- If you get a warning message, just confirm that you want to access that page
- Once the “configuration” tab is loaded, in filter copy and paste this “browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent”
- It will filter all the settings and will show you only the one we need
- Verify the setting is Value= True, double click and it should change to Value=False

You’re done, now Firefox will open any new tab at the right end of the tab bar

Internet rumors go around Windows 7 on EEEPc so we have done that and one task is to update the bios with the 2204 version 26/10/2009.

We have used a USB SD Card Reader and a 512Megabyte MMC Card with its SD adapter but in general every old SD (FAT16) should be ok

Here are the steps:

1) Download the bios from EEEPc Asus Site and unzip it. The file will look like 1000H-ASUS-2204.ROM but you have to rename it to 1000H.rom to be able to use it

2) Insert your USB Pen Drive or USB Card Reader and format it as FAT16 then copy the file 1000H.rom onto it

3) Make sure your 1000H is powered off, no USB Device is plugged, it is running on power supply and the battery is fully charged. Insert the USB Pen Drive or USB Card Reader with the bios on it and boot the machine.

4) During POST press ALT+F2 and the Bios Update Utility will start looking for USB Device, it will find yours and will start reading the 1000H.rom file, once done it will delete the current bios and then will replace it with the new one. At the end the procedure will ask you to power the machine off, remove the USB and restart it

5) When you boot it the new bios configuration utility will show up for you to configure some stuff just like boot order priority etc, just do what you need and save it

6) Congratulations! You now have your bios updated and you may proceed to install Windows 7 Ultimate

When it comes to recommend someone, you might not have time to focus and write a new fresh reccomendation from scratch!
