Computers & Internet - 30 August 2006

It's always "He's too rich", "He ripped off Apple", "Windows is full of bugs", "He has a monopoly - it's not fair", "He's just a marketing guy" etc etc. Is it not possible that he was the right guy with the right product at the right time and he (with help, and drawing on available ideas at the time) did it well?

Does anyone realise that for all his success, he's the most philanthopic person who has ever lived? For example, I'm willing to bet that in percentage terms (let alone absolute terms) he has donated WAY more to charity than Steve Jobs ...

Alright, I formatted my parents computer and I guess I used my XP disc too much and it said I need a new key for it to stay on, I have 25 days left so I was wondering if anybody has a key I could use? Its Windows XP Home Edition SP2. If anyone could help me out, that would be great! I'll give 10 points to someone who can give me a right key that will work!

I was considering trying it, but the old saying is: if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is.
Any feed back?

I understand it can be found in Windows XP pro and as a ValueAdd in home edition.

Nonetheless, I have the window backup program but have not used it.

Can someone shed any light on the matter? Is it worth messing with?

All I want to backup is "My Documents" which contains all of the family photo's as well as various documents I've saved to this site over the years.

Im re-asking this, because of the stupid responses.

All I want is 'what are the concerns in pluging in a motherboard into a old pc. Soley just enough to see if it posts.

Mb is a new one, found recently.
Old pc is old enough to not care about but is not suitable to replace its mb with this one (too small).
Old mb does have a pretty good powersupply.

Dont tell me to take it to the shop, I have everything I need already (ram,extra hd, mon,keyb,mouse, cpu on loan).
Also dont tell me about your failures, as my best friend does 100's of these kind of tests a week, but is unavailable for a while per honeymoon. Will probably end up waiting for his view since answers.yahoo is proving worthless



Simply, are there electrical concerns in trying to see if the mb will post. Posting will show the mb to be worth the effort to build a system around it.. The ram is actually from another system (that I wont use for test) & CPU is on loan and will be bought if this posts).
