Why Laptops are Different than Desktops
Laptops are different from desktops in the these ways;1.
Power supply: As desktops can be plugged in an outlet in the wall (AC Power) so can laptops with an AC adapter. But how a laptop is different from a desktop is that it is portable because batteries can also power laptops. The batteries are rechargeable; lithium, nickel-cadmium, or nickel-metal hydride.2.
Display: Also like desktops, laptops have some type of LCD display screen.
Modern Laptops have 800 x 600 pixel resolution. This gives it a very clear screen and anything less should be avoided.3.
Input Devices: On a desktop computer you usually use a mouse and keyboard to enter data and navigate. With laptops keyboards are built in but since they are portable so they don't have a mouse. Instead they have one of three input devices in place of the mouse.
A trackball, rotating the ball allows you to move the cursor. A trackpoint allows you to push your finger over the point to move the cursor....

7 Years At The Keyboard
Ok, for those of you still waiting, the Internet won't go away.
Hang up the hopes that it represents a passing fad sharing the fate of the Beanie or the Pet Rock.
With legitimate high-tech stocks finally in the market, regular people doing "real" business online, and consumer acceptance to the point of purchasing movie tickets and homeowners insurance over the Internet, the Web is here to stay. However, many people still get that glassy-eyed, far away dreamer look on their faces when they think of the riches awaiting them on just the other side of their own dot-com. Well, whether your business represents a laptop on a TV tray in the basement, or a mega-corporation with offices all over the world, my last 7 years in the Wild West online has revealed a few "truths" which should last from here until the end of computers.
** There is no get-rich-quick!

Since the dawn of history, people threw...

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...

Lingerie, Sore Knees, and Male Shoppers
At the top of the list of things that I most don't like to do, shopping has a hallowed spot. Granted, there are a couple of things that I would hate to do more, but my editors would have six strokes if I entered into dialogues about any of them here. Being respectful of their wishes, and also respectful of the fact that writing a column that no one would print is rather pointless, I'll move forward and get right to the point. I was forced into a shopping experience for a computer part today, and while doing that l learned a tad more about women, which is always a good thing.First off, about my computer - a few days ago I spilled something I shouldn't have on my keyboard, which necessitated the purchase of another one. After I got all of the cussing out of my system, I grimly realized that I was going to have to enter that one true hell for all men, a shopping mall.
Honest to God, I'm cringing just writing down those two words. Shopping malls are the bane of all genuine men, and...
