Free Advice @ Productive Connection

Computer Advice

I will soon offer a free question and answer format on this page allowing you to ask burning questions, that when answered will hopefully benefit many others who visit here. As soon as the information exchange is set up, it will be announced in my newsletter mailing list. You can sign up to be notified of major web site enhancements by clicking here.

Until then, I will use this space to provide some links to places that I use or find along the way, that subscribe to principles I believe in, and that I think you to might benefit from.

Free Newsletter

Langalist is one such site. Fred Langa publishes a free newsletter, twice a week, that provides both basic advice and advanced tips. True computer junkies (and even the novice) can find a wealth of advice on using and maintaining their personal computer, as well as how to get more out of the time you spend in front if it. Fred followers, who have the time to follow all his advice, seldom have a need for my services. For the rest, I stand ready to help you out in a pinch. A direct link to sign up for his newsletter is provided here: The Langa.com subscription page.

Free Software

Here I will list some random tools that I find helpful in my daily activities.

SyncToy v1.1 for Windows XP is a handy little tool that allows you to copy, move, rename, and delete files between folders and computers quickly and easily on Windows XP and can be used as a scheduled task item. It provides various options for the manner in which synchronization takes place and allows for multiple "folder pairs" to be defined. (requires Windows validation for download)
