Don't think that would work, Ruiner.

Ruiner: Bcc: is a blind carbon copy. It's similar to when you Cc: someone, but the other recepients do not see the bcc'd person's email address. It is great for protecting the privacy of other people's email address when sending an email to several different people who may not actually know each other. Leave the To: and Cc: lines blank and put all the names on the Bcc: line. Everyone will get the email, but they will not see any of the other email addresses. With Outlook Express: Have you tried importing all the mail folders? The things I've been reading seem to indicate that messages would be merged and not duplicated. This would not be an automatic thing, but it may allow you to import everything in both directions with out have to deal with individual messages or worry about duplicates.

I have a need for an FTP client. As I will be having one of my humans doing a couple of transfers each day to the same server, a client with auto scripting would be nice. Any experience with RobotFTP or Core FTP? Any others I should look at?

Rabbit: You might look at FileZilla - this is a GNU General Public Licensed FTP utility which works much like Windows Explorer - ie. you connect then drag-n-drop the files you want transfered. Try this link: FileZilla at SourceForge Select either the zip file and extract yourself or choose the setup version to have an automated installer. Alternatively, you could consider creating a batch script to use the ftp program which comes with Windows. It's rather crude but it works. Hope this helps.

One of my students has a question that I can't answer because she has a Mac.
quote:I could use some help on the page numbering on the computer. Someone explained one way to do it. When I did it that way, ( menu, view, header/footer # add page #, start on page 2) I get the page numbers but they only come up on the left hand side. Then she gave another way. ( menu , insert page number top of page , header, alignment -right, ) When I do that, they come up on the right side, but I can't start with page two, only page one. I have a macintosh and there is no deselect on show number on 1st page. I tried to tie them in together and I get page numbers on both sides of the page. Is there anyway to remedy this?
She needs her page numbers in the top right corner, starting on her actual page one with page number "2". Does anyone have an easy step-by-step I could give her?

Don't know how to fix it on a Mac, but if it is just for printing, maybe she could add a dummy page one that gets the number "1" and then throw that page away. The actual page one should then get page number "2". I'm sure there is a better and correct way to do it, but this might work if you just need to quickly get a copy printed off.

I was unable to find the specific answer on the Microsoft site but I would think it's similar to how it's done on the PC version. When you are editing the header and footer, there are 3 page numbering icons to choose from: Page #, # of pages, & Format Numbering. Selecting Format Numbering is where you find the option for what number to begin with. Changing that to 2 should start the numbering at page 2. Hope this helps.

Drah, it seems she has already done that without success. But, she isn't very computer literate, so no telling. I'm going to go with Bob's suggestion of the extra page since she doesn't have to send it electronically to me. Thanks you two!!!

Spy, Charlie is asleep or I would have asked him your question. Without asking him, I would have suggested exactly what Bob did and I've had only Macs for years. Good luck! If you want me to ask him tomorrow for future knowledge for your student, just let me know and I will.

My ex's new computer just came in (he lost his in the fire) and my son is setting it up for him. My question: Norton Antivirus is saying it's expired and he'll have to pay $29.95 to upgrade. Is this right? Can he uninstall Norton and put AVG in?

Ddr: Yes he can and that is what I would do (and have done). There's a few other people at TVCH using AVG and several people I work with use it as well. Can't beat the price (free for personal use) and it has done a great job keeping up with the latest viruses to pop-up in the past several weeks. Just make sure he does uninstall Norton first. None of the anti-virus programs seem to like it when another one is present.

Bob, I downloaded and installed AVG after my latest go-round with the trojans last week. I didn't uninstall Norton, just disabled it and then took it out of the startup line-up. So far, so good.

Does anyone know of any good PC sales going on? I'm trying to buy another, since the other went bust.

ARGH! I just purchased a D-Link Wireless 2.4Ghz router and Wireless Laptop card, but I cannot get the card to respond to the router and the Internet (let alone our home network--so I am Internetless. Does anyone have any ideas? I hate D-Link...

Dipo: AVG is another Anti-Virus program which is free for personal use. Anyone who does not have another anti-virus program already active on their computer should consider downloading and installing this one. Hope that helps.

Thanks again to all the computer geniuses who help us each day. How about posting a list at the top to those sites that we continually ask for, like AVG, Zone Alarm, etc. Just a thought.

Fluff, I don't know about the machine itself. I did find what appears to be exactly the same package on ebay from a seller with 3613 transactions (in general, the higher the number of transactions, the more likely they are to be reliable sellers) for a Buy it Now price of $875 plus $40 shipping. Your price was $998 plus presumably about 6-8% sales tax. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3463454457&category=42198 Maybe one of the other folks can come along and give an opinion on an HP notebook. Or you could look it up on epinions.com.
