:-) ONE LINERS

· Advertisement in a Shop: Guitar, for sale, cheap no strings attached.

· Smoking helps you lose weight ... one lung at a time!

· Seen on a bulletin board: Success is relative. The more success, the more relatives.

· When I read about the evils of drinking... I gave up reading.

· My Grandfather is eighty and still doesn't need glasses... He drinks straight out of the bottle.

· You know the kids are growing up when your daughter begins to put on lipstick or your son starts to wipe it off.

· Sign in a bar: Those drinking to forget........ please pay in advance."

· If your wife wants to learn to drive, don't stand in her way.

· Behind every great man, there is a surprised woman.

· Some people kiss with both eyes closed. Too bad they marry the same way.

· The reason men lie is because women ask so many questions.

· A Spouse is someone who'll stand by you through all the trouble you wouldn't have had, if you'd stayed single.

· The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is the fact that it has never tried to contact us.

· Sign at a barber's saloon in Juhu, Bombay: We need your heads to run our business.

· A traffic slogan: Don't let your kids drive if they are not old enough or else they will never be.

· Sign in a restaurant: All drinking water in this establishment has been personally passed by the manager.

Afterthought: We must help parents protect their children from the gravest health threat that they face - an epidemic of teen smoking – Bill Clinton

-Computing Tip

The Importance Of Backup

The first thing a new or experienced computer user should learn is the importance of backing up. Are you still not backing up your data? You should know this by now: computers can and do fail. The problem is that you usually get no warning before it's too late. This has happened to many people. In extreme cases, it has put companies out of business. Computers are becoming more and more reliable. This creates a false sense of security - we begin to think all our data are safe and secure and will never go away. It's not true - and never will be. If you don't back up your computer system regularly. Backups are really a necessity, and you are responsible for making backups of your files.

· Back up regularly, back up often. It is important that you get into the habit of backing up your files on a regular basis. Just having things stored on your hard drive is not enough. A computer crash, a virus, or a hard drive failure can wipe out everything. Don't make this simple mistake! Back up everything at least once a week. Daily is better. If you use your computer daily, it is best to back up important files daily and other data weekly. At the absolute minimum, back up your files monthly.

· Keep several backup copies. Never back up over a prior backup copy - keep several copies over time so that you can back up more than one version if necessary. Remember, a problem that is backed up will remain a problem when restored!

· Be selective. You don't have to do a total system backup. In fact, why waste your time backing up all those executable program files when you can easily re-install them from the original media in case of a problem. Just back up your important files. Backing up the entire hard drive is time-consuming, not practical, and should not be done. A backup of specific data files is the way to go.

· Know what's really important. The most important things to copy are files you create yourself. Be they text documents, e-mail messages, pictures, or game saves, if you made them, be sure to keep their current backup handy. Beyond that, it's helpful to back up the configuration settings for any programs you use, along with critical Windows data such as the registry.

· Organize your folders. Backing up is easy if you set your folder structure properly. It's faster and easier to back up if all your files and subfolders are in a single folder, rather than having your documents scattered across the hard drive. The My Documents folder is a good place to store files on any Windows computer. When all your personal files are in one place you are less likely to forget a file when you back up. Organization can be the key.

· Use backup software. To automate your everyday backup tasks. You don't have to copy your files manually. You can accidentally omit something, or simply make a mistake. Many decent backup program are available which can creates the backup of your data reliably and automatically.

Computer Problems ?……….Hardware failure?

Computer running slowly?Don’t understand your software?

Internet problems?…………..Don’t know what to do next?

· Help to buy, set up and use your computer

· New or refurbished systems to suit your budget
