Top 5 Annoyances I Find in Web Pages

1. Downloading plug-ins

This little programs that I have to download to get an audio or video message before I can enter the site - they make me want to go somewhere else!

2. Bad Design

Too many buttons and links on different parts of the page are confusing. Sometimes, I got into the trouble of accidentaly clicking on the link that I don't want to.

3. Pop-up ads

The dreadful and annoying advertisement that suddenly appear - it drives me crazy!

4. Frames

I just hate those silly boxes in Web pages. Sometimes the text doesn't fit in the frame and I have to use either the vertical or the horizontal scroll bar. This makes it very hard to read. Don't you just hate it?

5. Flash

These animations are good if they download quickly. However, I encountered many that seems irrelevant to the website; the only purpose is to make the site look pretty. DUH!

The BEST BACKUP Plans

I often wondered, what is the best backup plan to use for my computer? As a good backup plans will allow me to restore my computing environment to its pre-disaster state with a minimum of fuss. Unfortunately, no single backup plans fits everyone's computing style or budget. So, you must devise your own backup plan that's tailored to your particular computing needs. I will just give you the outlines factors you should consider as you formulate your own backup plan.

Here are the checklist:

- Decide of how much of your data you want, need, and can afford to back up.
- Create a realistic schedule for making backups.
- Make sure you have a way to avoid backing up files that contain viruses.
- Find out what kind of boot disks you might need to get your computer up and running after a hard disk failure or boot sector virus attack.
- Make sure you can test your restore procedure so that you can successfully retrieve the data you've backed up.
- Find a safe place to store your backups.
- Decide what kind of storage device you'll use to make backups.
- Select software to handle backup needs.

THE IMPORTANCE OF KNOWING HOW COMPUTER WORKS!

You must have been wondering, why do I even waste my time writing about this? What is the importance of knowing how a computer works? I've just learned that if you don't (know how a computer works) it will be hard to control it. Somehow, it appears to most, that the computers were built to control us. Actually, its the other way round. Computers are just DUMB machines; just good at following orders told by us. So, basically, if you don't know how to use it; computers, will only be a junk messing your place up.
