Daily Tip:
Driving Changes

Some PCs have the annoying habit of changing the BIOS (Basic Input/Output 
System) boot drive setting every time you connect a new hard drive before 
startup. Some are bad enough about it that they'll assume that any newly 
connected drive must be the boot device (which it almost never is). If you've 
attached an external drive by USB, FireWire, or eSATA, make sure not to power 
it on until your computer's OS (operating system) has loaded. If you've 
connected an internal drive, however, you'll need to enter Setup after starting 
the PC. Reset the hard drive priority list so that the proper boot drive is at 
the top, then save your changes and exit. Your computer should boot up normally 
now. 
 
  Daily Term:
keystroke logger

A device used to record a keyboard's keystrokes to track the use of a PC. 
Parents and some companies use keystroke loggers to keep track of how kids or 
employees are using their computers. Some Trojan horses are also keystroke 
loggers, but the purpose of a Trojan horse keystroke logger is generally to 
collect usernames, passwords, and credit card numbers.

Most people don't know what they're doing and a lot of them are really good at 
it.
