Janice's computer guru said cookies are spyware and need to be blocked
I thank you two for all the help you've provided to me and my family. Our family "computer expert" (my cousin) said that cookies are spyware and that I should never allow cookies. I remember you writing about cookies before and you said they weren't spyware. I was wondering if you could direct me to that article or better yet, if you could republish it for me. I think others would be interested in reading about cookies too. Thanks for all you do. Janice.

John suffers eye strain when trying to read text on some Web sites
HELP! I know the Control Key + Mouse Scroll Wheel trick to enlarge and reduce text on web pages. But on some web sites it doesn't work and neither do the options under the view menu on the toolbar. Most sites resize fine but some don't. Do you know of a way to enlarge the text on all sites. On of my friends told me to change my screen resolution but I like it the way it is. Can you help?

Oops! BackupOOPS! Backup
Oops!Backup is a backup program unlike any other we've ever seen. By now you know that we never recommend piecemeal backups - we urge all our readers to do comprehensive drive clone (or image) backups, because it's the only way to totally recover from a major computer disaster without losing any data. But you don't want to run an image backup restoration just to recover a few missing or inadvertently changed photos, documents, or other files. It's like using a fire hose to fill your dog's water dish. I'm so wonderful at examples :)

Oops!Backup is not a drive image backup program. It's not a piecemeal backup program. It's not a system restore program. It's ..it's...it's different. Oops!Backup monitors whatever folders and files you choose for any changes that are made. It allows you to go back in time to any version of a file you're working on whether it be a photo, document, or any other type of file.

What impressed us was the unique, sensible. totally easy-to-use interface. I mean, how hard is it figure out what "Go back in time and restore" means? It's so easy to use, even those who are software-challenged can figure it out -- without ever needing "Help". No help needed -- but there is help available should you ever need it. And if our experience with this company is any indication, their customer support will be superb.

Save 10% now on a program you'll really love and you really need!


This week's Rant

The Seasons of Life

I find myself alone on a snowy trail in my most favorite of hiking spots. It is winter; the sun seldom shines in Ohio this time of year. Others become melancholy and blue in January's incessant cloudiness, but I revel in it. The dark overcast days bring a special sorrow with them to be sure; but it is a reflective sadness. One that inspires introspection and a still inner-peace that causes me to ponder the nature of things and the wonder of life.

The bonds of long shadows and dark gray skies will soon be broken by spring's renaissance; when the world is reborn in the resplendent bright vernal light of the comparatively immortal star we call "the sun". So, I will relish the dark gloomy days of winter and remember that this winter has but a short engagement upon the stage of my life.

And it occurs to me, as I walk beneath the endless gray canopy of sky, how very special and unique each life is. As I pass the leafless, snow-covered branches and occasional sad bushes with bright, red berries courageously and tenuously clinging to them in spite of the bitter, harsh winter wind, I realize that life too, has its seasons.
