Battery Types Did you know there are three different types of batteries that can be used for computers? If you're a computer owner who knows a lot about the little stuff, you may already know this, but if don't or if you're just interested, I'm here to fill you in! All computer batteries fall under three major categories: a backup battery, a bridge battery and a main battery. The backup battery is also known as the "CMOS battery," which is what holds your computer's settings in place (like the time and the date). It helps your computer to remember the basic settings you put into place and it allows you to reboot your computer without having to re-enter all the information again and again. The bridge battery is often found within portable computers and is used as a backup for the main battery. You can use it to save a little power on the main battery. Last is the main battery. It's only used with portable computers and it's used as the alternate source of power when a computer is not connected through the wall outlet. The main battery is the one used the most by computer owners like you. Now, you know some battery information you can take with you forever! ~ Erin It's Friday, it's Friday! Make sure you keep reading to learn all about mini CDs and how you can use them in your computer, find out how you can have quick access done your way in various MS Office 2007 programs and learn a little more about the new Google Chrome Web browser.

Finally A UBS Hub That I Can Take With Me Mini Slim 4 Port Hub On Sale Today! From Keyboards and Mice to Flash Drives and Digital Card Readers, everything today is running on USB. However, did you ever notice how there are never enough USB ports to plug in all of those devices. That is why I just love USB hubs, which give me more USB ports, allowing me to plug in all my awesome devices at the same time. In addition, USB hubs provide the access I need to the ports instead of having to get down on my hands and knees, crawl behind my desk and try to twist and turn into every awkward position possible in order to find an empty port. Or, what is even worse, blindly trying to find one USB device that you are not using, unplug it, then try to plug in the device that you want to use. And don't even get me started on the wirey mess that you have to deal with back there. All of these reasons add up to why I just love USB hubs. A USB hub can easily sit on your desk and provide you with the extra USB ports you need! And this 4 port USB hub is by far my favorite hub that I have come across. Not only does this hub have four ports, which easily allow me to plug in devices such as my flash drive or iPod, it is also ultra slim and fits into the pocket of my tightest jeans with room to spare. I can take this hub with me anywhere and it is perfect for both the home and the office. Oh, and with all USB devices, we have to talk speed! This device runs on 2.0, meaning that it is mega fast!Plus, with this USB hub, you don't have to worry about any external power supply. This hub is Plug and Play. All you have to do is plug it in, and it is ready to go. You don't have mess with software or drivers. WOW!!!! Now that is just great! But, personally, I would say the best part of this hub (and another reason why it is my favorite) is the price. For just $9.97 and US Shipping is Free! Now that one fantastic deal. Check out the page: http://store.worldstart.com/product.php?productid=4491 PS: If you were to walk into your local retail store, you would pay nearly $25.00 for the same quality of hub. Don't miss this offer, you can never have too many USB hubs! And the price will increase to $14.97 on Monday! Not Too Long, Not Too Short, But Just Right!!!!!!!!! The Perfect 30" USB Extension Cable I know I hate having a mess of cords behind my desk. The 16' extension cord is just too long and give you an insane among of cords clogging up the space behind your desk. The extra short 6" cord that comes with the product is just too short. I mean, who can really stretch that thing anywhere. But, this cord is seriously "just right." Goldilocks would be in heaven with this "Just Right" USB Extension Cord, and you will too!!! It is the perfect length to stretch from behind your computer to the top of your desk top! This cable is perfect for plugging in a USB hub, a flash drive, or any other USB device that requires A to A connection (Male to Female)! Never have to squeeze behind your computer to plug something in again!!! With this amazing 30" cord, you will know that everything is "Just Right!!" Your cost? Again, let's talk "Just Right."

Q: A:
They may look really cool, but you might be wondering how you're supposed to use them. How can they work in your computer's CD ROM drive if they're so small? Well, it's simple really. You use them just like you would a bigger CD. Each CD comes with a small hole in the middle, so you just have to place that hole over the opening on your CD ROM tray. Some CD trays even have an indentation where mini CDs can go. You just place it right in the inner circle and push the tray in. It will work just the same as it would if it were the bigger size. Mini CDs come in various formats as well. The normal is an 80 mm disc, which can hold about 21 minutes of music or 180 MB of data. There are also some enhanced density versions that will hold about 34 minutes of music and 300 MB of data. How cool is all of that? So, have you gone mini yet?! ~ Erin Have a question for the newsletter? Submit it at the link below:
Quick Access Done Your Way Working in MS Office 2007? If so, do you like that really tiny toolbar they give you, located above (or below) your ribbons? You know, the Quick Access Toolbar? I'm sure you've noticed the down arrow on the right side that gives you access to a list of common commands you can have placed on the toolbar, right?
Well, what about some of the other features on the ribbons you frequently use? Any way to add them? Well, you could choose More Commands and work through that, but what if you're still not finding the things you really want to add? You know, things that would save you a lot of "ribbon jumping" time if they were displayed on the toolbar all together. If that's your wish, I have a suggestion for you. Simply try a right click. The next time you find yourself wishing you could add a button to the Quick Access Toolbar, just try right clicking over it.
When the right click menu opens, you may very well find that you can add it to the toolbar. Voila. The Quick Access Toolbar put together in your very own way! ~ April

More on Google Chrome I know we talked a little about this yesterday, but here's some more information about Google Chrome for you! As you have heard, Google has finally designed and built a Web browser of its own. And like all Google products, it's different, yet unique. This past Monday (September 1, 2008), Google announced in their blog that they would be releasing their new open source Web browser, titled Google Chrome, on September 2, 2008 in over 100 countries. Since we spend a majority of our time on the Internet searching, chatting, e-mailing and communicating, instead of just viewing simple text pages, Google decided to create a Web browser focused on graphical, interactive Web sites and Web based applications. “What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for Web pages and applications. And that's what we set out to build,” stated the Google blog. With the release of Google Chrome, other browsers, such as Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera will now have some major competition, which might cause the other browsers to introduce new features that rival Google Chrome. Internet Explorer 7 holds about 73 percent of the Web browser market, according to Net Applications. So, if Google wants to take a piece of that away from Microsoft, they have a major battle ahead of them! Google even released a comic book, drawn by Scott McCloud, that introduces the features of Google Chrome. The comic book is available here if you're interested in seeing it. By starting from scratch and building their own foundation, Google hopes their browser will eventually dominate the market. The new Web browser has already been released for Windows and versions for Mac OS and Linux are on the way. Give Google Chrome a try for yourself today! ~ Jack William If you enjoy our tips, tell your friends. That's what keeps this newsletter growing.
