I work at a major dealership and the manager has a program that can show every website that has been accessed in our building. All I want to do is check my myspace messages without hearing anything from him. Are there any codes or website that can help with this situation. Thanks in advance.

I recently went down to Microcenter and bought a gig of RAM and a 120 gig HDD for my Core Duo (not core 2 duo) intel Mac mini. I have boot camp installed on my original 60 gig disk, and that's what I use to get into Windows. The problem is, I need a way to transfer everything from my old disk to my new one, both Mac data and stuff from my Windows partition. How can I do this? What program would I use? I would like to do everything for free if possible! Some tools I have at my disposal are the Western Digital Data Lifeguard CD (My new drive is a WD, so it might work), a hard drive enclosure, Acronis Loader versions 9 and 11, and SuperDuper. What do I need, and what do I need to do in order to copy all of my stuff? BTW, I have boot camp assistant installed, but because it's the beta version, it's expired, and Leopard is a tad out of my price range.

Thank you in advance!

I've always forwarded my ports in this way, and it's always worked. But now, for some reason, uTorrent says the ports aren't forwarded, and my download speed is reduced to 30kb/s on a 4MB connection.

Help please.

I have occasion maybe 2-3 times a month that I need to receive a fax. Every free fax service I find has a monthly charge. I have a fax machine/printer/scanner but can't get it to work with my computer/phone/voicemail therefore I was searching a stand alone provider. Didn't want to spend much just to receive 2-3 faxes, sometimes none, per month. Maybe I need to spend more time establishing the one I already have.

Okay well my mom was trying to print some things last night. the printer started making noises like it was choking on something. When I opened it up the band that the cartridges run back and forth on was coming apart. It had all these inky strings hanging off it. Needless to say we couldn't print anything else. I was wondering if this can be replaced and if so is it cost effective? Our printer is an 880 HP Desk Jet.
