Sam Diaz: Apple's answers to the questions from the FCC were so vague and misleading that I couldn?t believe they came from a company that prides itself on launching game-changing, cutting-edge technology.
Scott Lowe Tech Republic: Disabling unnecessary services can improve system performance and overall system security. But there are some critical Windows XP services that you should never disable..

Simon Hensby is a successful "failure" in my eyes. He gave up his regular job because his autistic kid was having trouble and could not cope in regular school. He lived on part-time jobs just to keep going.
In the meantime he was creating useful educational software that an autistic child could use. Now millions of people and schools enjoy what he sacrificed to create!
Added Comment: Blastgroups provides lots of freebies. However it has a confusing interface. I have been doing computers since the 70's and it IS confusing to me. However if you can wade through, you will get LOTS of great stuff for your group. - Computer Doc
