IBM Notebook ThinkPad T43
Copyright 2006 Richard Keir
The IBM notebook version ThinkPad T43, one that is particularly targeted at professional buyers, has the speed and power to run any typical business application. The ThinkPad trade name of IBM notebook computers has garnered the status of being notebooks of significant quality, solidly constructed, with a sleek design and a highly professional appearance given their typical matte black color.
This IBM notebook model, like some others in the T series, comes with notable and impressive features like a keyboard light, a biometric fingerprint reader, shock absorbers for the hard-drive, an embedded security subsystem, and a speed dial function for multiple network connections.
Furthermore, this particular IBM notebook is both thin and lightweight. Available in either a 15-inch or a 14.1-inch SXGA screen, it has a TFT monitor and is housed within a strong Titanium composite case. The optical drive comes as either a CD-RW or a DVD-RW drive.
The bay you'll find in this IBM notebook is called the UltraBay.
It is a fully modular bay which can be used for an extra battery, an alternative optical drive or even as a tray for
holding a secondary hard drive.
You may find that one of the most attractive feature of this IBM notebook is the keyboard.
The keys have been neatly arranged in 7 rows. Given the inclusion of a pointing stick, a touch-pad and multiple mouse buttons, you have several options for screen cursor movement.
Just above the keyboard, you'll find the power button, a volume up and down button and a mute button. Similarly. you can find the Access IBM button which will launch an IBM application called Access IBM.
Access IBM serves as a guide to using, protecting, configuring and updating software on your IBM notebook.
Just as with any other IBM notebook in the ThinkPad series, you won't find a "Windows" key.
Still, the keyboard of this IBM notebook is basically unmatched in both convenience and ergonomics.
Powered by a Pentium M processor, this IBM notebook model comes with an integrated Intel 2915 PRO/Wireless 802.11 a/b/g internal wi-fi card and has an Ultra-Connect Wireless Antenna which is hidden in the upper right-hand area of the monitor. The fingerprint reader eliminates the need for users to remember multiple passwords (now that's a nice feature!).
It comes with a standard 6-cell Lithium Ion rechargeable battery that should last over 3 hours. The IBM notebook ThinkPad T43 comes standard with multiple features and utilities.
In addition, you'll get a 3 year customer carry-in global hardware warranty.
While an IBM notebook tends to carry a somewhat higher price tag than alternative models from other notebook manufacturers, this is a very popular notebook since it is a feature rich, reliable notebook, with an excellent warranty and all the qualities most business notebook users find essential.
And the IBM brand helps convince the accountants that it's a wise purchase option.

Reduce Your Stress With Stress Balls
Copyright 2005 Trevor Dumbleton
Of all the methods of stress elimination used, the most popular methods is through good old stress balls.
The simple act of squeezing something in your hand can help you ease a few of your concerns, release some built-up tension, and make you feel like you are at least doing something rather than brooding upon everything that has you down.
Fortunately, stress balls are easy to find and they can be very effective for some quick relief.
The most common stress balls are the beanbag type that can be picked up at job fairs and industry gatherings.
They are very effective, they provide enough resistance to make you feel good and they give off a relieving noise that tells you that something is happening.
Sure it is just some sort of filler grating against itself, but darn it, it's something!
And when you are stressed, the simple feeling of doing something, anything is its own reward.

How to find 11th Chords from minor7th Chords (Piano, Keyboard and Organ)
When starting to learn chords, most people will start with the basic major and minor chords, then on to 7th and minor 7th chords. You might be surprised to learn that when you have mastered all twelve minor 7th chords you have also potentially learned twenty-four 11th chords.
I love the sound of 11th chords; they somehow manage to give a big sound and are great for key changes. If you want to listen to good examples of 11th chords then listen to some early Barry Manilow music such as "Even Now", "Mandy" and "Cant smile without you". Listen in particular to the key changes and there you have a good big sounding example of 11th chords in action.
So how to find the 11th chord from a minor 7th chord. First, learn all twelve minor 7th
chords.
Second, make sure you know where the fifth in any chord is. For example, the fifth in Gm7 is "D", which is seven semitones from the root. ("G" root to "D" fifth is seven semitones)
Now you...

King Of Bebop Piano Lives Again At Baha'i Center
(ContentDesk) January 4, 2006 -- If you want to know what Bud Powell is doing in the after life, the undisputed master of Bebop piano will be strutting his stuff next Tuesday, January 10th, at the Baha'i Center's John Birks Gillespie Auditorium, with sets at 8 and 10 pm.This not-to-be-missed event features three of the best jazz musicians on the planet. Leader/pianist Paul Winston has is fulfilling an early prophecy calling him "a bridge of the past, present and future of jazz". Michael Max Fleming, who was the long-time bassist of Mary Lou Williams, and drummer Kalil Madi, who played with Powell himself (no mean feat, since Powell's speed at the keyboard made many a pianist retire early from the music business) are the perfect fuel to spark Winston's keyboard wizardry.Featured are some of Powell's originals (sadly not often heard these days (and what quality stuff they are!), as well as opuses by musicians Powell played with, like Charlie "Yardbird"" Parker. A bonus is "Chopsticks"...

Max Shooter XBOX & PS2 Keyboard & Mouse Adapter Review
The third and latest XBOX/PS2 keyboard & mouse adapter to hit the market is the Max Shooter. Before this adapter was released there was a good chance that the guy destroying you in Halo 2 was using a regular XBOX controller and not one of the previously released keyboard & mouse adapters. Enter Max Shooter stage right. Now you should be afraid, very afraid, as the Max Shooter basically turns the console FPS into a PC FPS with all the accuracy that that entails. After spending a good few days playing Halo 2, Socom II, and Unreal Championship 2 there is little doubt that FPS games were mostly made to be played with a mouse and keyboard.What's In The PackageThe Max Shooter, both the XBOX and PS2 versions, come in a small package that holds the actual hardware and an instruction manual.
The adapter only accepts PS/2 compatible keyboards and mice so if you have USB peripherals you'll need to get an adapter or head over to the old used PC shop and pickup an old keyboard and mouse combo.The...
