In Excel, instead of doing =A1 + A2 + ... + A10, you can do =SUM(A1:A10).

But is there an analogous formula for concatenating? i.e. a shorter way to do =A1 & A2 & ... &A10?

My mac crashed and whenever I login as master it locks up so I created a new standard account. That works fine. I need my projects from the master into my standard and turn my standard as master and delete my old master. How would I do this?

Just wanted to know who you would blame in this situation. You work on computers, buy about 10-12 Pioneer DVD burners from a place called 'TigerD' and all of them have been working fine with no problems. You discover the same drives at 'OldEgg' website for $12 less, need to order some for an upgrade plus a custom build, so you get two of them... and BOTH are bad drives! Would you be ticked off at Pioneer or the OldEgg site?

One of the FIRST ones I bought has probably burned no less that 600 to 1000 CDs/DVDs/DL-DVDs and still works perfect - one of the "2" I bought elsewhere only burned a couple before making coasters then nothing at all.

[Friend said they wouldn't buy that brand again but I was thinking.. if you get a BUNCH at one place and all are good.. then buy just 2 at another place and they are bad.. I find it a little too coincidental.. like maybe the products are slammed around a little too much in the warehouse or something... possibly just a bad batch]

I can hardly play current games with my geforce 6800xt. what gpu should i get that doesn't go into the price range of a game console, otherwise i'll just get a xbox or ps3. I would like to play games like rainbow six, gears of war, unreal tournament III, starcraft II, and call of duty. Medium settings-high should be ok. I have 22" LCD monitor at 1680x1050 so higher details are tough to come by. Here are my specs:

nforce 4 Intel edition MOBO
Pentium D 2.8ghz
Windows XP (will be vista ultimate soon)
1GB ddr2 667 pc5300 (plan to get 2 gb dual channel ram added to this don't know if it'll help)
Nvidia geforce 6800xt

Is there any way to find the Adminitsrator password from another user on XP?

Just once i would like to log on and not get tracked at school.
The student account doesnt let you do ANYTHING>
i mean I know that theres a reason for it

I was told that if I can purchase a VOIP device I can connect it direct to my dsl router and that way I can make free calls ( no skype required). I was given 3 models to check out LinkSys CIT400, Philips VOIP8411 and netgear SPH200. All of these devices require skype. Is the information they gave me correct? Is any way out there so I can utilize my DSL connection to make calls with out having skype or something similar to that? Thank you

Hi i own a belkin router which i was trying to make more secure by looking at websites which help out with this stuff. I use a wireless laptop btw.
Anyway it told me to do something on the router setup home page (when u like type in an adress like: 192.21.3.45) which basically made my router invisible to other people.
However, now it is invisible to me!! and it doesnt appear on my "Available wireless networks" list.

Please help- the only reason i am able to wirte this is cus im on my friends computer.

Please help asap- also do i need to reset the modem or something? How do i do that

Is there anyway to put movie files on a DVD without having a DVD-Burner physically installed into your computer. Like, is there any type of software that allows you to write onto blank DVD's that is free, and you don't need have a burner to use?

I am paying $40 a month for Comcast cable internet and it sucks. It will be lightning fast for one sec of the day and the rest it sucks. I had dail up before and at times comcast is just as slow and slower. I called them and they said it is because of other people around my area using it at the same time. they said I have to buy MORE bandwidth for faster internet. My friend has DSL and pays half the price as me and his is great. Its fast, plays videos with no waiting.
Who else has bad experience with Comcast frigin SLOW interenet?
