Q. My desktop is 9 years old and I have Windows Millenium. What do I have to do to upgrade using the system I have now? A tech person a while ago said I would need to get a new tower. Also, how do I save the info I have on the computer now? If I have to get a new computer, how do I clean it out in order to donate it to a school? Thank you.
A. You have no need to buy a new computer the one you have will still work fine and fast with the right operating system People will tell you you can't run windows 7 on your old computer which is right, but that's not to say you can't run a July 2010 operating system on it, which you can,
there are several Free 2010 alternative operating systems that you can download and install on your 9 old computer that blow windows 7 away, these operating systems will work off 512 megabytes of ram and still leave windows standing,
I would suggest you look at these free operating systems
Linux Mint
Puppy Linux
tiny core Linux

Poll: Answer only if you use Linux. What OS do you use?
Q. I currently have 3 partitions and wanted this to only be answered by actual linux users although I am sure it won't be that way. I currently use Lubuntu, Bodhi, and Knoppix (about to install archbang also) I am a distro hopper and watch distrowatch constantly. Don't know why as we can just make it be what we want mostly. But just like seeing what is out there. I have tested at least a hundred os's. Also if you could mention if you prefer debian/ubuntu, arch, gentoo, independents etc and a simple reason. Thanks
A. Personally, after installing, using and removing over 150 different Linux Distributions, for me it doesn't really matter because there is not enough difference other than the dressing on top of the underlying operating system. Have you taken a shot at Slatz 3 or Tiny Core Plus yet or just stuck with main type of distributions? The only reason I ask is because ones like these do not overload a hard drive with a lot of files. Bodhi is sort of locked into their own repository file system, which is one reason I would not use it. Some distributions are a little hard to work with when you don't have a lot of experience of knowledge to know how to get things done or installed. I am not into manually setting things up.This probably doesn't answer the question and just some of my own opinions.
What is the difference between an mp3 player and an mp4 player? What is an mp4 player?
Q.
A. MP4 players are bulkier than their MP3 cousins, mainly because of the larger screen. In terms of price, a Digital MP4 player is about twice the cost of an MP3 player although you can find some bargain models at just over $100. Just as with MP3 players, there are two basic types of MP4 players - hard drive and flash memory. Given the relatively large size of video files, however, a flash MP4 player is not likely to be very practical. These players also tend to have a smaller screen size - not the best for seeing the details of your favorite movie.
If you are serious about portable video, you should go with the hard drive MP4 player. These start at about 20 GB and go up to more than 100 GB. Hard drive players can also be used as data storage devices for transferring data from one computer to another.
The screen size of an MP4 players can vary widely. Some of them come with tiny 2 inch screens hardly big enough to view photos let alone movies.
Generally speaking, MP4 players support more file formats than MP3 players. This is because the MP4 format itself is compatible with a wide variety of media formats. At the very least, an MP4 player should be able to play MP4, MP2, MP1, (for video) and MP3 files (for songs). Other popular video formats include DivX, AVI and WMV. Audio formats include WMA and Ogg Vorbis.
The MP4 format is also compatible with digital images in the form of JPEG or PNG files. You will be able to carry around your entire photo collection with an MP4 player.
Several MP4 players have an integrated TV tuner, while others have TV reception available as an accessory in the form of a docking station. TV can add an extra hundred dollars to the price of an MP4 player, a bargain to the hard core TV addict.
Another feature which adds to the cost is an integrated camcorder. Since the primary function of the MP4 players is video, a video recorder is the perfect complement.
An Mp4 player is amongst the latest gadgets available in the electronic market. This is in keeping with the upgraded version of Mp3 to Mp4. Mp4 is fundamentally the global file extension for the official container format defined in the MPEG-4 standard (ISO 14496-14). This is streamable and supports all kinds of multimedia content and advanced content like 2D and 3D animated graphics, etc.
The Mp4 player can be attached to the computer, laptop and television. This devise is also available with its own in built sound system. Most of these players can also play the lower Mp versions. However it is most suited for the latest in the series.
One of the big advantages of MP4 technology is its interoperability. It is an open standard, implying it is license free. Therefore, there already exist a number of different tools supporting it. These include Mac, Linux, PocketPC and of course Windows.
Though many people consider Mp4 to be a successor of Mp3, there is a difference between the two. Basically, Mp3 is one specific type of audio format and Mp4 is a container format. However, as mentioned earlier an Mp4 player can play Mp3 files which as much clarity as the original players.
