From The Editor

Mike Prestwood

Hi all,

It's been a few months since I included an editor's column so I thought I would just run through a few of the things going on.

FireFox 3 Ships!

Some of you probably noticed but over the last few months we've made a big effort to make our website look and feel great in all the major browsers including IE, Savari, and FireFox. I've been testing and switching browsers every day! Recently FireFox released 3.0 and it's gorgeous and fast. It seems to be the fastest of the major three and is now more compliant and renders well. Prior to this Safari looked best (although it's the slowest browser I've ever used by far). If you're interested in trying out FireFox 3.0, go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/. If you browse our website and compare both IE and FireFox, you'll see that we use features specific to both browsers.

Next month we'll include a review of Google's new Chrome browser released 9/2/2008.

Consolas - The Best Fixed Width Font!

Fixed-space fonts are valuable and desireable in programming editors, because they can allow precise block selection and it's what programmers spend hours every day looking at. Courier and now Courier New have been the standard for years, but now there's another font you should consider.

Removable Disks - a brief overview & history

Wherever would we be without portable, inexpensive removable media? From the old, eight-inch floppy, to the latest Blue Ray DVD format, little spinning disks have provided computer users with convient, off-line storage. This is a brief overview and history of the various disk formats that have come, gone, and are - for the moment - sticking around.

Outlook 2003 Contact List Troubles?

by Wes Peterson

When editing an email meessage, and clicking on the buttons, "To," "CC," or "BCC," Outlook may display a message about not being able to display the contacts. Unfortunately, the organization of Outlook's menus makes it far from obvious where to go to address the problem. Here's the solution.
