Even in Word it takes a bunch of steps to do that, but online the "copies
& pages, paper/type/quality" is missing from the list. How do I do this?
Thanks, Jim, using an iMac and OSX."

We seem to regularly receive calls from people having problems or concerns with their computer when connecting it to the Internet. Viruses, hackers, worms, spyware, tojans, and the list goes on. All this craziness to worry about when simply plugging your computer into a cable modem, and then having to wonder if you will be able to login to your own computer the next day. Has my computer been "owned" ("pwn3d" for you uber 3733t [elite] geeks out there)? What can I do to try and protect my computer?

Hi I have an old Compaq 7470 PC with a 1999 dated internal hard drive. I was wondering if it was possible to extract the contents (files) of the old hard drive by a simple connection to my laptop. I just thought there
might exist a connection that allows the drive to show up as maybe an external drive ( like a traveldrive ) from an ATA to firewire connection. Maybe my understanding of the process is a bit off however. Thanks for any info.

Hello Geeks,
I download many things and am always installing and uninstalling whatever
cool new software I can find. Because of this I really need to keep up
