Computers & Internet - 30 June 2006

I've used both. A lot and often. In my experience, Mac runs faster and works more efficiently than Windows without any work done to it. Now I have seen Windows machines made to run faster than it started off doing so, but that was entirely the owner tearing it apart and making his own CPU, but then it was still just as fast as the Mac was in the first place. After all that money and work put into it, he had invested more into making his own CPU than it would've cost to get an Apple. There are no longer any programs that run on Windows that cannot be run on a Mac due to the Bootcamp but if the program was that vital, they made it for Mac before, people were just too lazy to go anywhere besides Wal-mart to buy their software. Do I even need to bring up the lack of viruses, spyware and all that other nasty crap that millions of people waste their time checking and fixing?

For the past couple of months, my Yahoo Geocities webpage guestbook has been getting constantly filled up by scammers peddling penis enlargement & online casinos. Is anyone else having this trouble? Any ideas what to do about it besides canceling my webpage out? I tried sending the scammers nasty emails but they don't care obviously. I complained to Yahoo but they basically said "Sorry but there's nothing we can do about it. You're on your own, pal."

There have been several questions posed by celebrities, Donald Trump, Al Gore, etc... I find it extremely difficult to scroll thru page after page of 2500 - 5000 answers. Is there a better way to present this? Would some kind of percentage scroll bar work better? (similar to the scroll bar on the browser you are using now)

I have an old e-machine that I've been using for word processing. It worked fine up until recently.
One day I turned it on and the machine was running but nothing appeared on the moniter. I tried hooking it up to three different moniters and I assumed the memory was shot. I left it alone for a week in my closet and I decided to try running it one more time and it worked.
After that it worked fine for about two weeks and now it is doing the same thing. I don't know whats wrong with my computer.

The wireless network works great with my laptop. The DSL on the main computer keeps freezing up or is really slow. The wireless router is a Linksys, 2.4 GHz. The DSL is SBC. Now that I have turned off the router, the DSL on the main computer works great. BUT now I can't use my laptop for Internet access.

I ordered SBC(at&t) Yahoo elite package a while ago. I waited ten days and I got my upload speed. I was getting about 600kbps, but I am still only getting 1.2 mbps download speed. What can I do to get my 6mbps download speed?

I wonder so when I get it and I'll know if I'm getting screwed over if they try to charge me too much.
