Charlotte Wants To Know What's Up With Digital Signatures
When I went to Registry Mechanic to use the "try it" version, I got a message that this software did not have a valid digital signature and should not be run. As a result, I did not use it.

Read our answer to Charlotte. It's important to know the truth about digital signatures, or you could get stung..

Dianne Read That Gmail Is Reading All Her Email!
Always happy to receive your great newsletter on Fridays. I appreciate the info on how to set up Gmail in OE. Didn't know I could do that. It's so much handier than having to go into Gmail. Anyway, having said that, the very next day I found this long article in a magazine saying that Google is reading all email and when email is sent or received a fresh column of ads appears on the right-hand side of the screen relevant to what you were talking about in your email. I tried it - yep, sure enough - I was talking about Honda's new car the Fit - and when I opened the email in Gmail, a column of ads appeared re Honda, etc. I tried it in OE, and this doesn't happen. The article is too long to email to you, but if you would like, I'd be happy to fax it to you. Sorry, I don't have a scanner. Maybe you can find it online. It was in Maclean's Magazine (Canada). Anyway, you might have mentioned this before, but, if so, I missed it. Just wanted to pass it along for your comments. Thanks for the very time-consuming great work that you guys do!

We answer Dianne.

Reimage is now a Cloudeight endorsed and recommended product
Windows XP - Only

Before you call a computer repair tech or spend several hundred dollars - consider Reimage! In an era when big companies like Best Buy's Geek Squad spend millions and millions of dollars extolling the virtues(?) of its sundry services, many folks with broken computers will simply pick up the phone and call Geek Squad or another heavily-advertised computer repair service. It's not until the repair is finished that the computer owner realizes how Geek Squad can afford all those cute(?) Volkswagens and that multi-gazillion-dollar ad budget.  The shock is the bill - if you have your computer repaired in your home it will cost $299.95 - if you lug it into a Best Buy near you, you'll pay $199.95. And what do you get for that much money?

If your computer isn't running well and is in need of repair - READ THIS before you call Geek Squad or someone else!


Create A Web Page Listing All Microsoft Hotfixes Installed
Windows XP and Windows Vista

The Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC) is a command-line interface to Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMIC provides a simple interface to WMI so that you can take advantage of WMI to manage computers that are running Microsoft Windows.

In plain English, that means you can create a listing of all the Windows Hotfixes you've installed on your computer(s). See, all that geek-speak means nothing more than you can create a nice-looking list of all Hotfixs.

This week's Rant

We know you're all hanging on breathlessly waiting to see what happens to  "Increasingly Fat Frank". But hey, it's hard to write when you've got a houseful of company talking about antiques and bottled water. Anyway, we promise that soon you'll have the exciting conclusion to "Increasingly Fat Frank". You'll find out what happens after Frank meets and runs away with parochial school teacher Sara Barnes, who leads Frank on the wildest adventure of his life. And Frank's wife? She has met her own romance novel hero Burton Lane, a rugged, sweaty, young oilman from Texas. You can just imagine. Anyway, today we're featuring one of our more off-the-wall essays called...

National Mustard Day

Did you know that eating ketchup, tomatoes and other tomato products is more dangerous to your health than smoking cigarettes? It's true! Read on, fellow ketchup eaters, you're about to be shocked out of your vines!

I have a confession to make. I'm addicted to tomatoes. I had a feeling I might be, but thought it was one of my ludicrous mental aberrations - a purely distorted view of reality like many others that I have.

However, last night while I pondered meek and bleary
Over the volumes of forgotten Google lore,
I came upon a single volume, an article, just an article,
An article and nothing more.

(I think the word "an" is an article too, isn't it? So is my rain coat, right?)

Anyway, I came across a small bleating by a doctor who goes by the name of Horace T. Lichtenstein, a Bohemian physician and researcher who, for many years, has been ostracized by his peers.

Many of you are buying new computers now that Windows 7 has been released. And we betcha if you bought a new computer you're going to have either Norton 360 or McAfee Internet Security installed. See, computer manufacturers get paid a lot of money to garbage-up your new computer with junk you don't need and shouldn't use - like Norton 360 and McAfee Internet Security. These two are bloatware beyond compare. Not only are they bloated but they're expensive too. You'll pay $50 to $60 a year - after your "trial" runs out. And the protection you'll get? Just mediocre. Avast and AntiVir both are rated higher in independent tests...and well they're free. SuperAntiSpyware and Spyware Doctor are much better than Norton or McAfee's included antispyware ...well, anyway...

See what our freeware pick of the week is this week!
