    Technology , are people getting smarter ?

    Is anyone else finding this thread as humorous as I am? It's especially ironic when you consider that all of us have been using computers in order to communicate our distaste for too much technology! :) Ah, well, we do the best with what we're given & hope to make some small dent in the...

    My Canon t2i

    If it's catching and not reading it, I'd definitely call the company. I've had a little trouble on ours with it not catching once in awhile, but it always reads it once it catches. Since it seems to be a mechanical problem combined with a technical problem, I'd send it in (or bring it to a...

    what year for a MacBook Pro

    No kidding. An inexpensive PC can go a long way to provide all you need for games and video. Movie Maker is the editing program built in to the OS and is super-efficient/easy to use. You could get a new machine and everything you want for about 1/3 the price.

    Blue Screen of death service system exception

    That is how the PC rolls. You may want to look into a driver update software, as well. In less than a year, you could have accumulated enough invalid system files in your registry to bog things down. Sounds like you have a nice system. Preventative Maintenance goes a long way to keep it that way.

    I'm in a similar boat, however am just finishing up the Masters in IDT and looking at a potential Doctorate in Educational I.T. One thing I've noticed as a life-long learner, is how much education has changed due to the potential of e-Learning innovation and options. The Masters program has...

    [SOLVED] Virtual PC Anyone?

    VMWare Fusion did the job! Perfect. My boss informed me he has 6 VM's on his Mac. And, a guy at the coffee shop recommended the cloud-based desktop offerings. Much needed. Thanks.
