What’s New at Linda’s Computer StopWell, the question this month is what ISN'T new at Linda's Computer Stop? If you haven't been there recently, I guarantee you won't even recognize the joint. I completely tore it down and rebuilt it. So, those of you who were used to my garish colors and fonts might think you landed at the wrong place. LOLI also had to replace all those big buttons on the left since they made the pages unprintable and more and more people were complaining that they couldn't print my tutorials without half the information running off the right side of the page. So, without all the buttons, I had to rebuild the navigation, so it's in sections now. Let me try to explain how its laid out for those who might be confused. (Though most people tell me, when they get used to it, that it's actually EASIER to navigate.) Though it seems to work fine in most versions of IE, Netscape and Opera, it's still pretty slow in Netscape 4X because I use nested tables and that version doesn't like them. But, I'm working on it and it's getting better. But, for now, I would recommend using a different browser. Tips/Tutorials is where all my pages on Windows and the Office
programs are located, as well as the hardware and printing
troubleshooters: Services takes you to the pages about my online classes, my
downloads page, my favorite links page, and this ABC ezine: Support takes you to the pages where you can learn ways to
find answers through tech groups, contact me, learn more about me, and
sign up to write for this ezine or my website: I've also compiled a page of articles I've written that you can
access through My Résumé page or go there right from here: And, I've added a few new tips and links to the actual Windows and Office pages, so you should check them out too: Windows: Office: Lastly, on the home page there's a dropdown menu which leads you to
some of the pages that are more difficult to find, like my What's New
page: Hope you like it, find it loads faster, and is better organized. And don't forget to sign my guestbook at my homepage. I'd love to hear from you! Linda Subscribers' Exclusive Tip of the Month:Since this issue is all about backups, instead of a tip I'm going to give you a list of links that teach more about formatting and partitioning your hard drive, since that is mentioned in here quite a bit and is usually the thing you need to do before you restore all these backups: Hal's article on partitioning and installing multiple operating systems Radified FDISK Guide to Partitioning a Hard Drive PCGuide for Creating Boot Disks Hope this additional info is useful!
