Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Or have I been missing this goodness for years?
It's been around at least as long as Intel laptops, and I think Powerbooks had it before that. Maybe even iBook G4s. So... years.
You can also drag downwards using two fingers to scroll, at least on my MBP. Best. Feature. Ever.
you need a 3rd party system pref to do those trackpad tricks with G4 hardware.
Any suggestions for which type of anti-Spyware/anti-Virus software I should install on my Vista desktop PC? It came with Norton, which has now just lapsed, so I should either renew it or get something else....
I hear AVG is good. And for spyware, Ad-Aware and Spybot.
Thanks, Dana!
Pictures of computers in use from the '60s through '80s. I think my fave is the business guy in the oddly colored suit using a TRS-80 with cassette interface.
I love the 60's picture of a line drawing of a woman in a bikini. Computers and porn, they just belong together.

Did you notice that he's writing with his right hand while typing with his left? He's a true multitasker.
Most of the pictures look to be from the very late '70s to the very early '80s, all those PETs, Trash 80's, and CoCos
Our very first system at work was one of these. The not so little box to the right of the TRS-80 is a 5 MB hard drive, which cost $5000 in 1984 dollars.
I have a price list from a computer store in San Diego from about 1984 that has a few hard drives on it. None bigger than 5MB and at least one was close to $10,000 if I remember right.
The guy rippiing paper as if to say its not needed anymore. That was hillarious! Also the boy carrying the computer with the girl carrying the tape drive was cute, in a "can I carry your books for you" kind of way.
