OCD occurs to a minor percentage of the population. For those that are compulsive the IntelliScanner might be for you. The IntelliScanner comes with a set of 10 barcode stickers, a barcode scanner, and a database program. In reality you can almost barcode and scan anything, this device is best used for keeping track of your media. For the media stuff that you scan, the database software can add images, reviews, and release dates for the products. For items that do not have barcodes, the IntelliScanner comes with 10 additional barcodes. But for many, like me, I would rather not place barcodes on my older collections like my vinyls. The approximate cost of this item is around $300.

This is a neat trick to change the Text on the start bar to anything you like. You can have fun with it at work or show your firends the new trick you figured out. There are other ways to do it that include going into the Windows Registry but I say thats to much work. You can just use a program called “StartBtn.exe.” It is quite simple to use in fact. Just download the program run it and type in your New start bar text in the box next to “New Label.”

For some unknown reason Microsoft decided to make Office 2007 documents, such as .Docx uncompatible with Office 2003 without a patch. Microsoft could easily have made it so you do not need a patch but alas it is Microsoft.

In order to view .DOCx and other Microsoft Office 2007 files in Office 2003 you must download the patch for Office 2003 from Microsoft. Just download it and run it and you should be fine. Also, you can prevent Microsoft Office 2007 from saving your documents in 2007 format by clicking the windows button at the top left of the screen in Office 2007. Go to Word Options near the bottom of the new window. Click the Save tab at the left and Change “Save Files in This Format” to just .Doc.

Like millions of other computer users, Adobe PDF reader is preferred because you do not know any alternatives to viewing PDFs. Well there is on and it is one of  the best ones I have used for an alternative. It is called Foxit Reader and it is incredibly fast at viewing PDFs, unlike Adobe’s software. Also, why should PDF software be over 20mb big when it doesn’t have to? Foxit thinks so to which is why they designed the software to be light in size and speed. It will open up your documents almost instantly. I promise that once you give it a try you’ll love it.
