Help Save XP Petition

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet, Microsoft,

Those of us who are still PC users but don’t want to give up our XP for Vista were very unhappy to realize that it will cease and desist by June, and that support will eventually end, too.

Galen Gruman began a petition that you can sign to voice your displeasure, but so far the company doesn’t seem interested. Still, it can’t hurt to join the over 100,000 signatures already obtained. And if that fails, there is always Linux or Mac.

USB Hub Rotates

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, USB, Misc. Tech,

USB Rotatable Hub Is there really so much difference between 4-port hubs? Probably not, but we like variety. This one is great for the Rubik’s cube fan or for those who want to add a little color to their otherwise drab computer space. The Rotatable Hub is plug and play with USB 2.0, features low power usage, and supports Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000/XP or Mac OS 8.6 or above. At a size of 60 x 60 x 30mm and a weight of 45g, it comes with its own USB cable and a very kind price of only $12.00.
