I need advice on this but not technical or I won't understand it and my brain will go into a state of numbness. My son is ten and would like to email with his friend so I'm going to attempt to set up an email address for him,...

SoftSeller K, so what kind of computer do have and what brand is your webcam (if you know). Like others have suggested, when a computer comes with a webcam, it usually also comes with some decent software to let you use it. If the software only allows you to upload to...

I was allowed to have a fun when I was nine years old. It was only for emergencies, but when I turned 10 I got to use my phone as I wanted. I think nine is a good age for kids to have phones, but I have heard of five year olds...

SoftSeller How about a rule like "don't use the phone unless you really have to" or "only in emergencies". Cellphones are not toys and shouldn't be treated as such.

SoftSeller So what do you think it costs to have the pet at the shelter every day just for food and lodging? How much do you think it costs to get them checked out by the vet, have them properly vaccinated, spayed/neutered and then tattooed or micro-chipped? The adoption...

Is there a lower life span on new computers or was this just a fluke? We bought a new HP desktop computer around Feb. 2007. It started having problems about after a year. At first we just attributed it to the fact that it had...

SoftSeller If you've exhausted all options, then it's time to take it in to a professional who will be better equipped to tell you what is exactly wrong. You mentioned that you've newly installed your OS a number of times and can only get it to work for a while. This...

SoftSeller By backups, I meant copies of my data. Most people don't do this and regret it when they lose their precious photos, videos and other irreplaceable files. A UPS will have a backup battery to guard against power outages and most of the time (if not all the...

SoftSeller Nope, I don't work in the field! It's just a hobby. Computers are something that I've always been interested in using but never really for a job. I'm not an expert by any means but perhaps just a little more knowledgeable than some and happy to share it with...

SoftSeller I totally understand being wary of downloading files and applications from the Internet. Most websites are legit and it's only a small percentage that are shady. However, it's these shady websites that make it difficult for us to determine if it's OK to...

SoftSeller I believe the acronym "to insure promptness" is a backronym. In other words, some one fit that phrase to match the letters. The proper way to say it is "to ensure promptness" or "politeness" or "proper service". Tipping more than a certain amount or percentage...

SoftSeller I know that AVG is a very popular anti-virus program but I have not had any real experience with it. I believe I did a search on it some time ago and people were disappointed with the first few releases of version 8. What I look for in an anti-virus program...

SoftSeller It's great that you love China and like cooking different foods. But I just wanted to let you know that your comment is confusing because sushi is Japanese.
