PrinterShare® - Print anytime, anywhere! FREE software!
You say you want to print a letter or a photo to your Mom's PC, on the other side of the country, but you don't want to have to e-mail it to her (oh, and she doesn't even use e-mail!), and besides, she might not even have the application installed to open it? This free ad-based solution will work without you "digging" a Virtual private Network (VPN) and scoring a static IP from your ISPs, or diddling with freeDNS servers... if your relative or friend has a PC and a printer installed, this free solution will enable you to print remotely... gee, I guess "sleep" ought to be disabled on the receiving machine? Good use for a netbook low-power PC.

Map Any Key to Any Key on Windows 7 / XP / Vista :: the How-To Geek

Map Any Key to Any Key on Windows 7 / XP / Vista :: the How-To Geek: "Map Any Key to Any Key on Windows 7 / XP / Vista

If you are tired of the way certain keys on your system work, such as the Caps Lock key, you can re-map them to function as a different key by using a registry hack. But there should be an easier way, right?

This is where SharpKeys comes into the picture: It’s a small utility that will let you easily map one key to another key easily, or even turn the key off, without having to enter the registry at all.

For instance, I used the key mapping to just turn off my Caps Lock key, since I never use it."
Mike Baird says 09 Nov 2009 this is the best solution to turn off Caps Lock which was driving me nuts (on Vista the built-in function to disable is not part of Windows anymore).

Toyota used at least two of my surfing images in this advertisement...

I choose this model for Stand-Up (SUP) Paddle boarding over the Stearn's Ultra 3000 because it was reported that in the Stearn's "The waist and back straps are less stiff than in the Mustang vest, making donning slightly more difficult, and our evaluators found that the back strap would ride around the waist strap necessitating a periodic readjustment."
