Outlook 98 Concerns
Hi Carey,
My windows 98 appears to have changed. For example when I'm in "my documents" and right click on an item the menu does not allow sending to a mail recipient and if I go to the file menu it does not have that option either. Any answer would be greatly appreciated.

The power of custom software solutions
With the release of OS X, business owners have realized a tremendous ncrease in the number of pre-built applications (many ported from the UNIX world). Even with this increase, companies sometimes find it difficult to switch to the Mac or run their business entirely on Macs because of one or two specific applications are available only for Windows.

Granite Digital SMARTVue for Mac OS X
Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T) is built into most newer hard drives. S.M.A.R.T records a number of "attributes" that can be reported. These are things like Seek Error Rate, Spin Up Time and more which could help warn of impending difficulties. This predictive and warning function is part of the value for products like Granite Digital's SMARTVue.

Operating System Concepts
The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the heart of any computer, but the operating system is the brain. Unfortunately, understanding exactly how these things really work can be difficult, because it's fairly hard to "play" with the operating system that you are actually using. You can do quite a bit with sophisticated debuggers, but eventually you run into confusion and difficulty.

Using the shell (Terminal) in Mac OS X
Many Mac OS X users won't have any need to use the Unix shell that underlies their graphical interface. Some will likely disdain the very idea, but for those adventurous enough to try it, a whole new world awaits.

Dear Carey,
I am having a problem with Windows XP. I had to replace the monitor, and now my PC won't boot up. It gets to the boot up screen, then just stops after the lights go across the XPlogo once. Thanks for any help you can give. I have already tried to restore my computer.
Thanks,
Greg
