Save Memories by Time-Stamping Photos

By Stephanie Murphy


How much did it cost you the last time you had to call one of those computer tech help lines? What about the time you actually had to have a PC service technician come to your home? That expensive, huh? The truth is, PC tech help is expensive, and often the problems that cost you the most could have been avoided for a fraction of the cost with just an ounce of prevention.

There are many computer errors that send us scrambling for tech help. Sometimes, they can be annoying problems like glitches and error pop-up warnings. Other times, they can be fatal and result in the loss of data and/or system crash. All of these errors, no matter how varied they may be, have one thing in common: They are caused by things you unknowingly bring or take out of your system's hard drive, and you can fix them instantaneously before they start to cause problems with the right software.

You see, your computer is just a machine that does exactly what it is programmed to do or what you tell it to do. To help it do this, it has thousands of files and programs filed neatly away in the hard drive. Most of the time, these files are accessed by your computer easily, but sometimes the filing system can be a little off, which makes it hard for your PC to access certain files and applications quickly or at all. Anytime that your PC has to search for these files or fails to find them an error occurs.

In most cases, errors can occur without you even realizing it. You may not get a warning or program shutdown. Often, the only evidence that you have that errors are occurring is a computer that does not perform as quickly as it used to. While this in itself is annoying and frustrating, hidden errors can multiply and result in PC problems that leave you shelling out big bucks to tech professionals.

A satellite cell phone is also able to have more features than a standard set up. One feature that is coming into its own is the ability of the cell phone to pick up satellite radio. This is going to be a huge selling tool for service providers in the next few years. In addition to being able to play MP3s, a satellite cell phone will also be able to get the signal for XM or Sirius radio
