I support an excellent DOS-based suite of accounting, order processing and stockholding software. It runs very well on Windows XP and I am considering buying lap-tops for our external sales team to run it on. As an alternative, I was wondering whether hand-helds/PDA's could run it. Does...

I've just heard the word Chortle in conversation :-D! As it put a smile on my face (it's just such a lovely, oldie-worldie, innocently funny word to describe the sound), I thought I'd share it. And I began wondering if anyone else could think of some other great 'words that imitate the sound...

I thought this might be a bit of fun. Does anyone recognise this one? IN A CONJUNCTION Tony ___________________________________________________ Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing (Solomon)

My older children (7 & 10 years old), for a reason I cannot fathom, seem to confuse these two words and, short of pointing out each missuse as it happens, I cannot think of a simple way of explaining the difference. Can anyone offer a suggestion that they will understand? Child 2 means...

Hi all, At my office I am using a Linksys BEFSX41 switch as a VPN endpoint and can open a tunnel from home (using the Greenbow VPN Client on an XP-Pro PC) - both ends confirm the tunnel is active. However, I cannot 'see' any computers on either end - cannot ping; cannot log on the the work...
