Top 5 Reasons To Go Wireless
by: Ron King
Wireless networking is 1 of the greatest new computer technologies in terms of convenience. If you're weighing the pros and cons of wireless before taking the leap, here are 5 to put in the "pro" column.
#1: No More Wires
Of all the reasons to switch your network to wireless, this is perhaps the most important. Wires are inconvenient, expensive, dangerous, and downright ugly.
No more wires across the floor improves the safety of your home, since it's easy to trip over exposed wires.
The average Ethernet wire doesn't cost much per foot, but it adds up quickly. To run wires between rooms or floors, you have to knock holes in the walls, which might not even be an option for renters.
Plus when you move you don't have the mess of disconnecting all the wires only to re-connect them at the other end. Nor do you have to examine every wire for damage if your internet connection goes down.
#2: Internet Access For All
Wireless networking gives you a cheap, easy way to share 1 internet connection among multiple computers. You can add new computers to your network simply by plugging in a wireless card and switching them on -- they get an internet connection immediately!
#3: Share Files And Printers
A wireless network gives you access to your files wherever you are, and makes it easy to synchronize the data of a laptop and a desktop computer. It's much easier to send files between computers with a wireless network than by email, or CD.
Plus, with the printer connected, you can also write things wherever you happen to be, press print, and go collect them from a printer connected to another computer. Printers plugged into 1 of the network's computers are shared by all the computers automatically.
#4: Always ON
Broadband revolutionized networking with internet connections being continuously connected -- no need to dial in every time. Wireless networking lets network connections be always-on, so any of your computers can connect to the internet whenever you want. Take laptops from room to room or out on the deck -- they'll have an internet connection. Plus, there's no need for excessive password entry.
#5: Freedom!
With wireless networking, you can even take your computer wherever the signal reaches. Going wireless is much like the switching from the old fashioned wall-mounted telephone to a cellular phone. The freedom is exhilarating.

The Hidden Benefit Of Computer Certification
The Hidden Benefit Of Computer Certification
by: Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
The web is covered with stories regarding the benefits of professional computer certification, and most of them are backed up with salary surveys and the like.
While there?s certainly nothing wrong with making more money and having better job prospects, there?s one benefit of certification that many candidates forget about.
Confidence.
You can?t pay your rent with confidence; you can?t pay for gas with confidence; you can?t pay for ANYTHING with confidence, right?
So who cares, right?
Wrong.
The confidence you build from truly earning a certification, whether it?s an MCSE, CCNA, or CCIE, cannot be purchased, borrowed, or stolen.
It has to be earned.
What do I mean by ?truly earned??
First, I?m referring to those little documents out there generally referred to as ?braindumps?.
If you buy one of these...

Cleaning Your Computer Will Help It Last Longer And Work Better
Cleaning Your Computer Will Help It Last Longer And Work Better
by: Scott Dary
To clean your mouse ? The trackball can pick up dirt and dust from your desk and mouse pad. Also, the wheels that the trackball come in contact with get dirty and need to be cleaned. If you notice your mouse "doesn't work right", it may be time to clean it. First, turn your PC off. Turn your mouse over and you will see the ball sticking out of a cover. Look at the arrows on the cover and turn it in the indicated direction to open it up. Don?t worry about anything falling out. The only thing that comes out is the ball, and maybe a little dust, and you want to take that out anyway.
You can clean the ball with alcohol if it needs it, but usually just wiping it off will work. A cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol works well for cleaning the wheels. When you?re done, drop the ball back in and put the cover back on. If cleaning it doesn?t help, it may be time to replace...

Keyboard Power: Using Your Computer Even if Your Mouse ?Dies?
Keyboard Power: Using Your Computer Even if Your Mouse ?Dies?
by: Ismael D. Tabije
There are various accessories that could help operating a computer easier. The mouse is just an example of an accessory which makes navigation simple with just one click. However, most of these accessories have short ?lifespan? and can be considered disposable. This is when the accessories can become bothersome.
What are you to do, when in the middle of an important document, your mouse decides to ?die?? Would you worry? Would you panic and run to the nearest store? What if it?s night time and the stores are closed and you are rushing up your work?
On your keyboard, immediately press CTRL + S simultaneously to save whatever it is you?re doing. That way, you don?t lose your work. This is a common and one of the most familiar tasks without using the mouse. If the mouse is not functioning and you need to do something important but you don?t have the time to...

How to Save on Inks

Printers are very important in our everyday lives. Home printers or even office printers are a part of our daily lives. If you have been used to having a printer around, you may not live for a day without it. Printers print important documents that we use everyday.
