My WinZip has expired!  

The headache turned out to be a blessing.  It helped me to unearth a treasure, IZArc! 

I thought WinZip is the ultimate until I started a desperate search for an alternative. The point is that I hardly use WinZip.  Is it not worth buying a copy when I seldom make use of it?  Both evaluation copy of WinZip on my desktop and laptop expired and failed me at the most critical moment. It was frustrating. It was holding up a simple step like trying to unzip a plugin for my blog.

I googled for similar problems faced by many people and the opinions on program features that they liked most about their archive software.  It identified popular archive software 7zip, Winrar, Power Achcive, Tugzip, Universal Extractor, Win Ace, WinZip and IZArc.

For the first time, I discovered that IZArc is a favorite choice from popular reviews and there is no need to look further. I tried IZArc and find it extremely user friendly. I’m so excited to share with you.

Wikipedia search defines  IZArc (pronounced like “easy-arc”) as a file archiver developed by Bulgarian programmer Ivan Zahariev.  The program is freeware which is computer software that is available for use at no cost or for an optional fee.

When do I need to change my Router? Which router works best for me? My router is still in good working condition. It is good to stick to the principle of “don’t change if it ain’t broken”. But I don’t think my wireless equipment is running efficiently. Whenever I run into problems with the connection, my last resort is to reinstall the software. Now, I end up with Connection 7. Just wished that there is a compatible, more up-to-date piece of equipment with user friendly features to tell me what is wrong and show me how clean up the mess.

Unnecessary upgrade is really a waste of good money. But I do get enticed by “trade-in” offers for used cisco equipment. Perhaps I should invest in a better model and get my home networking system revamped once and for all.

Tis’ the Season to be Jolly! Fa la la la, la la, la la.

Ho ho ho, Its Christmas and I bet Santa Claus had a tough time doing his shoppping. 

I had to crack my head over what I should get for my kid, my nieces and nephews.  When they were toddlers, I looked for child safe toys. Then, there was a wave of battery operated mechanical toys and Barbie dolls.  And later we have to shop for toys to stimulate the development of these young minds.

As my child grew up, I don’t need to crack my head, just crack the budget. Hints will be dropped and she waits for her wishes to come true. Something like, Mummy, xbox 360  is fantastic.

The rest of you, just email your wish list, Santa Claus is glad he can do online shopping.
