I'm wondering, since mac OS 10.5 (leopard) is out, do all factory and retail sold computers come with 10.5 on already? I've asked around and it seems not, all come still with 10.4.9, which IMO is a big ripoff. What's the deal?

I recently bought a sony vaio VGN-CR24G with a hard drive of 120GB and windows vista home premium as the OS. I only have a single drive which shows its capacity as 102GB. The problem is my hard drive space is getting filled up without putting any file or installing any kind of software. Even activities like burning a DVD or surfing the internet is eating up the space rapidly. In the morning I had 82GB free space out of 102GB, after surfing the net for 2 hours, it showed 79 GB free of 102 GB. What is eating up the space on my hard drive? Also can anyone help me with the total size of the drive. I understand that some 9GB is taken by the recovery drive but still the total capacity of the drive should be 120-9=112GB. Why do I only have 102GB available? The OS and system files which take up around 9 GB are in C: drive so why is it that the total space available on C: drive is 102GB? Please help me out.Thanks a lot in advance.

I like to tinker with old computers, research the issues and fix them and give them away. I have this one, no idea what issues it has because I can't get the monitor to power up with it. You can hear the computer powering, but the monitor light stays amber. Its not the monitor, I hooked it up with another one, and its fine. I read on the net that it could be the keyboard is not compatible with the mobo. Does anyone else have any ideas on this? The computer is pretty old, a Compaq built for 98, which I intend to completely redo with 2000.

to me it's only useful to unzip programs that are zipped w/ it. which only makes things harder. the compression if your lucky seems to only maybe knock off about 1 mb if your lucky. if i'm wrong please let me know and how to get more compression out of it. but every time i try to archive a file it comes out either the same size bigger or probably a half a mb smaller. if thats the case than these programs suck.

A computer printer, or more commonly a printer, produces a hard copy (permanent human-readable text and/or graphics) of documents stored in electronic form, usually on physical print media such as paper transparencies. Many printers are primarily used as computer peripherals, and are attached by a printer cable to a computer which serves as a document source. Other printers, commonly known as network printers, have built-in network interfaces (typically wireless or Ethernet), and can serve as a hardcopy device for any user on the network.

In addition, many modern printers can directly interface to electronic media such as memory sticks or memory cards, or to image capture devices such as digital cameras, scanners; some printers are combined with a scanners and/or fax machines in a single unit.

A printer which is combined with a scanner can essentially function as a photocopier.

Printers are designed for low-volume, short-turnaround print jobs; requiring virtually no setup time to achieve a hard copy of a given document. However, printers are generally slow devices (30 pages per minute is considered fast; and many consumer printers are far slower than that), and the cost-per-page is relatively high.

In contrast, the printing press (which serves much the same function), is designed and optimized for high-volume print jobs such as newspaper print runs--printing presses are capable of hundreds of pages per minute or more, and have an incremental cost-per-page which is a fraction of that of printers.

The printing press remains the machine of choice for high-volume, professional publishing. However, as printers have improved in quality and performance, many jobs which used to be done by professional print shops are now done by users on local printers; see desktop publishing.

The world's first computer printer was a 19th century mechanically driven apparatus invented by Charles Babbage for his Difference Engine.

I am totally confused, I can't find the control panel where it normally is and when I search for it and do find it I can't get to it because I get a message that says I don't have access even thought I am logged on as administrator. Now, if I can't get to the control panel then I can't do anything with the user accounts. I also keep getting an error message about risk and spyware. God, I hope I can fix this...I would FULLY APPRECIATE any and all suggestions.
