Today it make sense to have a home network server, with all the data people saved to their computer, like photo, video, audio and text files. Keeping all these files on your computer could slow it down.
With a server you can:
∙ Share an internet connection
∙ Share Printers
∙ Share Files
The Home Network Server PC
If you got an old computer with 1GHz processor, sufficient memory and hard-drive space and software like Redhat Linux. You could build your own server, but that might be a little too technical for some. Luckily you can now buy a Home Media Server.
I got a home network server that connects four of my pc; I am able to view my home- security cameras from wherever I choose via the internet and stream my digital media files.

Digital Cameras
Photography is a hobby of mine; I use the FinePix S700 Fujifilm digital camera.
It has a 10x optical zoom, 7.1 mega pixels, comes with software that work both on the PC and Mac hardware.
If you want to make standard 4 x 6 snapshot prints, a camera with 4 or 5 megapixel resolution should be fine. To enlarge images more than that or blow up only parts of them, you’ll want a 6 to 8 or higher megapixel camera.
My digital camera takes great pictures at 7 megapixel, I use it to take picture for my other blog, phillysight. Below is a shot taken with my camera:

How to get rid of viruses
Help! My computer got a virus, I tried using system restore, but that didn’t help. How do I get rid of viruses on my computer?
The best way to get rid of virus from your PC is to run a good antivirus application and keep it updated. Some viruses corrupt or disable restore points, so this might not be an available option. If system restore does not help, you need a virus removal utility (Antivirus Utilities).
There are a lot of virus utilities available for download on the internet that will scan your system and remove, repair, or quarantine infected files.

How To Copy Protected DVD
How to copy protected DVDs
So, you just bought your first DVD burner, chances are you’ll want to back up store-bought DVDs. Well you are going to be disappointed when you find out that the software that came bundled with your burner can’t copy protected DVD. To avoid MPAA wrath, most programs won’t copy DVDs with copy protection. You’ll need freeware such as DVD Decrypter to strip the DVD’s copy protection and rip the movie to your hard drive. The movie will be ripped to a folder such as MOVIE_NAME\VIDEO_TS. You can then use the software that comes with your burner such as Nero to open the file and burn the movie to a blank DVD disc.
There are many programs out there that will make the job a little bit easier.
Check the legality of DVD ripping before you go on to burning DVDs.
