Posted 15 January, 2004 Our first weekend computer spot for the year was with John Morrison. We discussed
the technologies that work and the ones that don’t seem to be going anywhere.
We agreed that Internet enabled fridges probably aren’t going to take
the world by storm and answered the following callers question's. Spam Mail Sheila has been deluged with Spam. Sadly, there isn’t a
lot you can do about it. The most important advice we can give you is to never,
ever respond to these people. Our advice on how to avoid it is here. Upgrading operating systems Stewart was contemplating upgrading to ME so that some software would work.
We recommend strongly against this. Upgrading operating systems is often a
heart breaking exercise. If you really, really must use the software or hardware
that requires an upgrade, we’d recommend buying a new system. Pop up advertising Pop up advertising comes in two ways. Websites you visiting can
trigger them and advertising software finding it’s way onto your computer.
To reduce the site pop-ups, we’ve posted these hints.
We’d also recommend cleaning up any spyware
on your computer as well. The new year’s schedule hasn’t been finalised yet but we expect
it will be the same as 2003, 10.00am Sunday mornings. We’ll update the
web page when we know more. If you’d like to be kept up with changes,
