Hi

Most people are happy with larger monitor sizes. Not me! At work, when I use a larger screen I start getting back muscle pain. I have no idea what the cause is. I'm not sure about the inch size. I'm used to using a 16 inch (I think) and these other ones are 19? or 20? inch.

Has anyone else had back pain with larger screens?
What can I do to get used to the screen and avoid back pain?

I'm upgrading my computer soon, probably this weekend. I have a Celeron D processor, heat sink, CD drives, floppy drive, hard drive and 2G memory already.

I'm getting the following items:

Board:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...

Card:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...

Power:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...

Case:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...

Do I need anything else/ will this all work together fine?

P.S: Does the board have integrated sound or do I need toget a sound car, too (first custom computer, here, so I have no idea)?

I have a pretty good computer, and when i first start it, the desktop loads very fast. Internet access is immediate, my messengers come up very fast.


But when i put in norton internet security, it starts going slower.

ive seen the desktop and its parts take up to 2-3 min to fully load.

Is there something in Norton i can change (a setting) that will help this?

I know this creepy guy who I have a gut feeling is hacking into my computer. Is there some kind of software I can use to see it he is hacking? If he is hacking can he see all the websites I've visited and the documents I have and all my passwords too?!?!?!

How can a website tell that I'm the same person after I get my IP changed and the cookies been deleted.

Would a website tell that I'm the same person after formatting my PC?

I got a program which helps me to delete all the 'Debris from the internet' and after I do that procedure, practically all the Flash based applications cant tell that I'm the same person (for example www.Pandora.com).

WOULD THEY (another sites) TELL BY MY DYNAMIC IP (that i'm the same J-Lo from the block) ?

Thanks

I have Cable/DSL internet connection on my home desktop computer and I have a wireless router hooked up to the Cable/DSL Modem so that I can use my laptop at the kitchen table, bedroom, or any place else inside my home but I am now looking for something that can boost the signal for when I am working on my property but not near my home, just under a half mile away. Are there any signal boosters for this and if so where can I find them?

I really need the best VoIP service possible. From my research, I 've narrowed it down to Vonage or Skype. I thought about Qwest but, they seemed expensive. I will be moving to Podunk, Alabama (lol..not really the town's name) where we can't even get dsl.
Also, is there a VoIP that allows you to be on the phone AND the internet at the same time? Any help or guidance is much appreciated!!

I know little about electronic stuff, and I am afraid to wash my laptop screen.

So, What can I safely wash my laptop screen with?
and what can I clean the finger mouse thing with, as my father used it with greasy hands?

Thanks!
