Have you visited our websites lately?
StdInstall.Com
Every PC needs most or
all of these 20 basics:
(The following is
extracted from just
above
our listing at
www.StdInstall.Com)
In the table that follows the
first two columns indicate our recommendation for use with Windows 7
and/or Windows XP. Product icons are also links to the product
websites.
In the title column when the
product name is a link it takes you as closely as possible to a
download. Programs that require a fee for home-based users are
noted.
The
Ninite tool is so simple (select,
get installer, and run) and smart (omits toolbars. adds,
extras, and selects the correct 32-bit or 64-bit version) that
even if you want just one or two of the programs it installs, we
recommend that you use it!

AVOID the
ADAWARE UPDATE!
- Updating from version 9.x to 10 on Windows XP
is problematic. We've now tested it on several PCs and
have had consistent problems with getting AdAware 10 to update and scan
properly. (PS AdAware 10 is working well and
consistently on Windows 7 systems, AdAware 9.x still updates and
works fine on Win XP.)
-
ADAWARE
ACTIVATION? - To use AdAware 10 (Again we recommend
only on Windows 7) you'll need to go though a 30-day full
version trial and then submit your E-mail address to receive
back a FREE activation code. Note that the FREE version is more
than sufficient if you are using other AntiVirus software
-
NEED SPACE? - We recently
had that question put to us once again and this time we took
that cue as an opportunity to formalize the answer into a short eBay guide
titled 'Out
of Disk Space?'.
-
iPAD STAMPEDE?
-
Lots of our 2SS.Com clients and friends are figuring out as we
have that it's hard to resist having a viable computer with you
whenever you want for $500 to $700 with WiFi and $630 to $830
with a broadband subscription too! (Hint: Get it
at Walmart with a special productivity bundle included, or from
Apple engraved free.)
-
iPAD REALLY? -
Yes at 2SS.Com we've been tracking our customers and friends as
well as the development of iPad apps. The growing array of
functionality and choices is amazing.
-
MAKING AN iPAD
PRODUCTIVE? Watch for our soon to be released iPad /
iPhone updates to
www.StdInstall.Com. We'll show you recommendations in
17 business productivity categories aimed at making computers,
iPads, Android phones, etc. ready to keep you safe and
productive!
-
ARE YOU SAFE? -
Did you miss our recent newsletter 'A
Safe Computing Special!' - Now it's available with a bit
more 'how-to' detail in an eBay Guide titled "FREE,
Effective, and Nearly Automatic PC Protection".
-
LITTLE DEVICE &
BIG SCREEN...- It's coming, something called Mobil DisplayPort
or MDP promises to allow your phone, tablet, iPad, etc. to plug in and drive
a large display or monitor. It could be an important link
in obsolescing your 'desk-top' or 'lap-top' in favor of an
'in-pocket'
device. To read more see "MyDP
could transform mobile devices into replacement PC"
-
INTERESTING:
YES!, BIAS: MAYBE? - A recent provocative article titled "Why
Windows 8 tablets won't threaten the iPad (or Android)" is
an interesting read that identifies challenges and limitations,
particularly with MS Office, that may keep Microsoft from the
BIG short term win it seeks in lining up operating systems
(Windows 8) and applications (Office 2013) with an
array of devices ranging from phones & tablets
to desktops & servers.
-
NOTARIZE
DOCUMENTS? - A hard fought dream, made into reality. If
your business needs notarized documents we encourage you to learn about
SignNow and notarizing documents from anywhere. (Note
the link at bottom titled "How we disrupted an entire Industry")
-
PERSONAL CLOUD? - Gartner (A well-know IT industry
research firm.) predicts "Consumer cloud services that allow
users to store, synch, stream and share content over the
Internet will be integrated into 90% of consumer devices by
2015."
