Now that you're looking at divorce, do you regret tweeting about all those expensive watches you bought last year? What about those party pictures that seemed so fun and innocent? Are they looking a little "much" now that you've become a Circuit Court Judge?
My Virtual Me is all over the internet. There for everyone to see. Employers, attorneys, insurance companies have all realized the wealth of information floating around on places like Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace. Checking the Internet before hiring or insuring has become standard practice.

I did not realize Windows Mail is not included in Windows 7 Professional. Is there a way to add Windows mail?
It's true - Outlook Express was replaced by Windows Mail in Windows Vista, but with the release of Windows 7 even that has disappeared, along with Windows Messenger and a few other items.
To be honest, that's good news for those of us who never used these tools.
But for those who did, it means an extra step or three.

Just about every story on the iPad following its introduction Wednesday said it was just a bigger iPod Touch or iPhone. It's crisp display, touch capabilities and thin profile are trademark iPod Touch (and iPhone) features just in a bigger enclosure with a bigger display. Evolutionary not revolutionary.

No matter how neat you are, I guarantee your drive has duplicate files. How can you find them?

Return with us now to the days when Radio Shack was a PC giant, Apple was on the ropes, and people thought laptops were a foolish fad.

Did you think I was going to start out by telling you all to install WinPatrol as soon as you opened up your new computer? Guess again. I always try to write my articles from a different point of view and today may not be what you expect.
For the 2nd time I’ve had to return the Dell All-in-One Multi-Touch computer system that I’ve been dreaming about for months. The first unit had to go back because Dell shipped the wrong configuration. The 2nd system had to go back due to internal hardware failure. I should have known something was wrong when I could hear loose parts when I took the computer out of the box.
My point today is take a little time to insure your brand new computer is everything it should be or you may be sorry. Before you install your favorite software on your brand new system I have a few recommendations.
We all must browse the web. Unfortunately, the Lynx browser is no longer cutting it. If you don't remember it, then you are not old like I am. PC PitStop community member James asks if Internet Explorer is safe yet. He's been waiting to use the newest version, because he's heard that it has a lot of problems. What are your thoughts on this? Is IE solid, and safe?

Welcome to a brand new and exciting addition to the PC Pitstop blog, Extreme PC Makeover. It's happened to all of us. Your PC is getting old and it has slowed down to a crawl. You begin to look at the new computer ads in the Sunday newspaper. But you don't really need a new PC, you need a PC Makeover. That's the name of our new promotion, where some lucky soul will not need to buy a new computer because we will get that PC running like new and 100% for free. The only catch is that we get to write about it for this column. Just fill out the application below to see if you qualify.

It is my appliance! It provides all forms of entertainment. It buys airline tickets and makes hotel reservations. I can write and publish articles with it and I have access to every piece of software ever written. It's one whole wall of my living room and it's in my pocket.
Recently I've written several articles on whether Windows 7 is worth the change, what will happen to XP, how bad was Vista? There is always interest in the latest about operating systems, but mostly I write about how to fix them, how to keep them working.
