Computer Tips Compendium: Part 2

by T.J. Lee
October 5, 2001

(Blatant plug coming up, so don't say I didn't warn you!) We'd like to thank those of you who placed an early-bird order for our latest e-Book, Computer Tips Compendium, and who thereby got the discount price of $19.95. We have ironed out all the kinks in our production process; the first pressing came back from the replicator in less than a week and we started shipping these CDs on Monday, October 1st. Be advised that mail is still moving slow here in the USA so be patient.

For folks who may have missed the announcement in The Naked PC #4.19, our latest book-on-CD-ROM, Computer Tips Compendium, is fully searchable and contains over 460 of our favorite and most useful computer tips. Tips on individual software programs like Word, Excel, Outlook, as well as programs from Symantec and PowerQuest. Internet tips on surfing, browsing, downloading, privacy, shopping safety, fraud, controlling displayed text size, transferring Favorites and bookmarks between computers, eliminating page backgrounds... the list just goes on and on! Tips on buying the right RAM, locating drivers, where to find hardware advice, customizing, setup options, you name it there's probably a tip for it in the Computer Tips Compendium.

This CD includes the following bonuses:

  • Access to the RESTRICTED Tips Section of The Naked PC Web site. Here you'll find updates to URLs as well as new tips.

  • The Official NakedPC Screen Saver. Pithy words of wisdom and cool sound effects keep your monitor safe from whatever screen savers are supposed to protect monitors from these days.

  • A chapter on using Adobe Reader 5.0. You'll use this information on every PDF document you open from now on.

  • Discount coupons good towards purchases of products from The Naked PC Company Store.

All this on a CD for just $24.95 and we pay the postage on all books shipped within the USA. Check out the information on the "Computer Books Compendium" (including the table of contents which lists the hundreds of tips contained in the electronic book):

USB Active Extension Cable by A-TEN
If you need a run of USB cable that's longer than 5 meters (16 feet), you don't have to buy a hub. Instead you can use an Active Extension Cable which is basically a hub in a cable. This approach gives you a maximum run of 25 meters (82 feet).

PowerQuest's Master Error List
Not many software development companies publish listings of their products' error codes. PowerQuest does, and it goes one better. Each error's Web page typically includes a description of the error, a step-by-step solution to the error, and details.
