Re: [CGUYS] shredding services
There is no way for me to evaluate the risk, as I know nothing about the people, machines, and procedures being used to accomplish the shredding and disposal. Since the whole idea of shredding is to keep others from viewing sensitive information, my preference is to not have that information placed in the hands of others before it is shredded. Of course I understand that many people have a different preference, based on the number of cars shown in the photographs of the event. My attitudes may be shaped from my experience working for the Navy. We personally shredded our classified documents. We did not give them to anyone else for shredding, even if they had a security clearance. The shredder was an advanced model which turned the paper into dust particles smaller than a period at the end of a sentence. how big a risk do you consider this to be?

Re: [CGUYS] Backup App for PC
After many years of procrastination I have finally (with the help of Take Control of Mac Backups and SuperDuper!) installed a backup system for my two Macs. Question: My wife has a PC. Would someone recommend a simple, low- cost backup application comparable to SuperDuper! for the PC. TIA That is a very good book series (and cheap too!). These days I'm using Ghost. I bought a slightly older version on the 'net for about $30. It clones one drive to another quite nicely and fixes corrupt drives too. For file-level backups I've used SecondCopy 2000 to copy files to an external Firewire drive. It has a nice feature where it will keep an archive of files as they are updated. So you always have an up to date copy of your files, but can also go back to older versions if you have too. This is very useful in situations where you don't discover you have a problem until several backup cycles have passed. It is easy to set up, but can be a little overwhemling with all the options it offers. But the options let you set up almost any kind of backup style that you prefer. * == 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?

While a few select people may have some overwhelming need for some version of 'color accuracy' (whatever THAT is), most of us put that lofty concept way down on our list. A good *looking* picture is much more important. As well as weight and footprint. I shall suppose that you do not work in the graphics field, and that you also do not work in photography or photo restoration. As to the weight of a CRT, what is the big deal? Once it is in place, it is in place. Who needs to keep moving it? As to footprint, you do what you gotta do. I need a large format printer, so I can't let footprint stand in the way of that either. I have no complaints about my set up. BTW, I have two LCDs, but they just do not get it done for my color work that needs a higher degree of accuracy.

Re: [CGUYS] Apple Posts Record Quarterly Profit

Re: [CGUYS] LCD screen for photographer
I've seen several LCD's that require a fairly steep change in angle to make a difference in viewing. Besides, I thought CRT's were recommended to be changed out every 3-5 years, while LCD's have a longer lifespan. Maybe you should start by measuring your own visual acuity? It makes no sense to get a monitor that exceeds the specifications of its user. If you observe that it takes a fairly steep change in angle to make a difference in viewing then you probably don't need the same kind of monitor as a person who can detect changes of less than a deltaE. (1 DeltaE is the smallest difference an average person can detect.) A factory-fresh, $5000, Barco CRT would have a deltaE of under 1 over the entire surface of the screen. That is why it is expensive. At Tom's hardware I see that they do test the deltaE of many LCD monitors. For LCDs they claim that a deltaE under 2 is good: all but undetectable to the user. I know many people would not find that acceptable. Tom's also plots the image brightness over the screen surface. Some monitors they think are good have only 65% brightness at the edges (center = 100%). Now I wonder how a monitor with that kind of difference can be said to have a good deltaE. Having the brightness drop off by nearly a stop from center to edge ain't good in by book. * == 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?

How do you know it was the version you thought you trashed? 2. Weren't you installing the same version anyway (presumably the most recent, 2.0.0.5)? 3. You are probably confusing the profile or configuration with the software. You can change the Firefox software and keep the same profile, with the same plugins, bookmarks, history, etc. That's why Tom was trying to get you to run Firefox with a new profile, so you could see if it was a problem with your configuration / profile. As you say, all too often it is a plugin, or a large bookmarks file, or some configuration change that is recorded in prefs.js or user.js that messed you up. So creating a new profile will let you compare a vanilla setup with your regular one. In Linux, your Firefox profile is typically in a hidden directory. Unfortunately, some distributions put things in special locations, but if you are using the downloaded version, it will look in .mozilla/firefox/... So renaming .mozilla to .mozilla-old or the like will get your profile stuff out of the way and force Firefox to create a new one.
