You don't have to buy the whole Microsoft suite. You can buy outlook, and word individually. and under a hundred bucks. I use excell for my business, so I got the whole suite. but I love the features that outlook has. Calendar, contacts, and eamil all in one spot. that is the only thing th

Hi Chris We do have a license for Jate Plus, so hopefully we can still use that product. I have to give the authors credit, it is a well-written and nicely designed product. There are some good things available in the Windows market and that's one of them. I'll have to find out whether it's

I use Thunderbird for e-mail and Jarte for word processing. So if you cannot download Jarte Plus again you can download Jarte and still be able to do Word documents. Chris Hallsworth Sent from Thunderbird On 28/08/2011 12:27, Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith wrote: Hello everybody Recently I ins

Hi Dane That's a dangerous assumption to make. PGP is pretty secure, and how are they supposed to get hold of your key if you opt not to submit it to their servers? I do agree with you though about the name Symantec being off-putting. It's the reason, or part of it, why we are not going that

Hello everybody Recently I installed Windows 7 as a VM on our MacBook because our Asus NetBook has gone into stupid mode whining about hardware changes for some reason. So, I'm looking for opinions as to which email client to go for and, for that matter, how best to handle things like Word docu

Hello all. I would like to spread the word about this free fully accessible chat client with a difference. How it works is you specify some criteria about yourself. With the click of a button it continually looks for friends with similar criteria to you, such as

Hi Gordon and all. Well I have done some podcasts of my own. I have done a short series on Total Recorder, one on a fairly unheard of screen reader called Cobra, a couple on NVDA (but not using the latest version I must admit), and one about JAWS Tandem which I did as part of my finals at unive

The thing that worries me about PGP now is its security. I just can't see a company like Symantec selling something like PGP without them keeping some sort of tool for cracking PGP codes, I thought about purchasing PGP for Mac but the name of Symantec and my above worry put me off which is why

Hi everybody As you have doubtless noticed, Techno-Chat is now out on its own, so to speak. Meaning that it's under the "Techno-Chat Dot Net" banner, instead of the old "TFT BBs" banner which, when it expires, will not be renewed. In fact, tft-bbs.com is now largely redundant as the only faci

Hi Martin Yes, we know all about PGP. We used to run a pGP server on the front end of our mail server actually but we ditched it because of the horrendous prices. The problem with PGP from my perspective is the fact that it returns unknown mime types to those not using it. Therefore, they can
