[CGUYS] Looking for a reasonably priced Hi Speed internet service in Northern Virginia area
Hello all: I live in Fairfax County and I need something a lot better than my current internet service. I am not interested in a bundle I don't watch television and I have adequate phone service. Unfortunately the available isps charge hefty prices for stand alone internet service. Something in the range of $30 a month or under. If anyone has some suggestions I would greatly apprieciate it. Cheers, Bill. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
[CGUYS] Saving Web Pages with Firefox-Followup
Hello all: Thank you everyone who replied to my post a while back. Briefly, I am trying to save web pages in my computer, rather than print them out and have lots of paper laying around. Per the advice here, I updated my Firefox to the latest version and was able to save the complete pages using the format Web page complete. After a period of time, all the text disappeared and all that remained were the images. Any advice at this point? I am using Windows Vista but had the same problem before with XP. Thanks for any replys, Bill. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Saving Web Pages with Firefox-Followup
Thank you. Yes I remember being referred to Scrapbook and PDF files. I was not able to locate the scrapbook add-on for some reason and Adobe looks like an expensive option. After some success at obtaining what I needed I thought I was in the clear, but to my dismay, all the text vanished, leaving only images. -- Original message from Mike Sloane mikeslo...@verizon.net: -- I used the scrapbook add-on to FireFox, and it worked very well. It saves the pages as html files wherever you want to put them. Mike Jordan wrote: I've been away and I don't know if anyone suggested this, but I think for some circumstances making a PDF of a web page is the best way to save the info. It's perfect for receipts. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** * * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** * * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
[CGUYS] Saving Web pages in Firefox
Hello all. I would like to save web pages in firefox. When I try to do so, it only saves the images, none of the text. Is there a way to save all this information? I use Firefox 2.0, and believe I save them as a web page.

Re: [CGUYS] Saving Web pages in Firefox my os
I use XP. The idea is to save it to the hard drive. Would you suggest save as a pdf and save to the HD? Thanks, Bill. -- Original message from Matthew Taylor taylorsmatt...@gmail.com: -- What OS do you run? Under OS X you can just print to PDF and get a pretty good copy. If you want to descend links then Acrobat will capture a site for you. On May 5, 2009, at 2:13 PM, computerg...@att.net wrote: Hello all. I would like to save web pages in firefox.

[CGUYS] MP3 Player for the Visually Handicapped?
Hello all. I would like to buy a MP3 Player for an elderly person with Macular Degeneration so she can enjoy Old Radio shows. It does not have to be portable, but portable is ok. Need simple controls that don't need a screen. The Ipod appears not to be the solution. Thanks for any replys. -Bill. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] burning videos on to dvds
That's good advice Tony. Thank you. No I would never throw away originals, tape or negatives. Horrors!!! I have had some fun with a transparancy scanner and old brownie negatives. The scanner came with Photoshop LE. I came up with some amazing images. -Bill. -- Original message from Tony B [EMAIL PROTECTED]: -- The MC3 doesn't seem to have a tuner. I wouldn't get one that couldn't be used for recording programs when I was finished with it. And I wouldn't mess with DL double layer DVDs. Too expensive, too much trouble. They'll never catch on. PS Don't throw away the originals. You'll likely need to record again on whatever the next format becomes. On 8/9/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all.

Re: [CGUYS] Notebook shuts down when I move the screen
Holy smokes! I'll try that! Thanks very much John and Tom. Apprieciate it very much. BTW Tom I did some googling per your advice, found downloadable manuals on the Dell site. Thanks again, Bill. -- Original message from John DeCarlo [EMAIL PROTECTED]: -- On 8/1/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes I know it is supposed to do that.:) However, now even the slightest vibration or movement of the lid and I have a black screen.

Is there any maintainance I can perform, or do I take it to the shop? Thanks for any replys, Bill. One option for you is the cover it with black tape and ignore it approach. Namely, go into Control Panel and open up the Power item. Find the power option that says what to do when you Close The Lid. Change the value to Do Nothing. That way, whether you really close the lid or simply jiggle the screen, nothing will happen. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
