Costello calls to buy a computer from Abbott
Abbott: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
Costello: Thanks. I’m setting up an office in my den and I’m thinking about buying a computer.
Abbott: Mac?
Costello: No, the name’s Lou.
Abbott: Your computer?
Costello: I don’t own a computer. I want to buy one.
Abbott: Mac?
Costello: I told you, my name’s Lou.
Abbott: What about Windows?
Costello: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
Abbott: Do you want a computer with Windows?
Costello: I don’t know. What will I see when I look in the windows?
Abbott: Wallpaper.
Costello: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.
Abbott: Software for Windows?
Costello: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What have you got?
Abbott: Office.
Costello: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
Abbott: I just did.
Costello: You just did what?
Abbott: Recommend something.
Costello: You recommended something?
Abbott: Yes.
Costello: For my office?
Abbott: Yes.
Costello: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
Abbott: Office.
Costello: Yes, for my office!
Abbott: I recommend Office with Windows.
Costello: I already have an office with windows! OK, lets just say I’m sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
Abbott: Word.
Costello: What word?
Abbott: Word in Office.
Costello: The only word in office is office.
Abbott: The Word in Office for Windows.
Costello: Which word in office for windows?
Abbott: The Word you get when you click the blue “W”.
Costello: I’m going to click your blue “w” if you don’t start with some straight answers. OK, forget that. Can I watch movies on the Internet?
Abbott: Yes, you want Real One.
Costello: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I watch is none of your business. Just tell me what I need!
Abbott: Real One.
Costello: If it’s a long movie I also want to see reel 2, 3 & 4. Can I watch them?
Abbott: Of course.
Costello: Great! With what?
Abbott: Real One.
Costello: OK, I’m at my computer and I want to watch a
movie. What do I do?
Abbott: You click the blue “1″.
Costello: I click the blue one what?
Abbott: The blue “1″.
Costello: Is that different from the blue w?
Abbott: The blue “1″ is Real One and the blue “W” is Word.
Costello: What word?
Abbott: The Word in Office for Windows.
Costello: But there’s three words in “office for windows”!
Abbott: No, just one. But it’s the most popular Word in the world.
Costello: It is?
Abbott: Yes, but to be fair, there aren’t many other Words left. It pretty much wiped out all the other Words out there.
Costello: And that word is real one?
Abbott: Real One has nothing to do with Word. Real One isn’t even part of Office.
Costello: STOP! Don’t start that again. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?
Abbott: Money.
Costello: That’s right. What do you have?
Abbott: Money.
Costello: I need money to track my money?
Abbott: It comes bundled with your computer
Costello: What’s bundled with my computer?
Abbott: Money.
Costello: Money comes with my computer?
Abbott: Yes. No extra charge.
Costello: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?
Abbott: One copy.
Costello: Isn’t it illegal to copy money?
Abbott: Microsoft gave us a license to copy money.
Costello: They can give you a license to copy money?
Abbott: Why not? THEY OWN IT!
A FEW DAYS LATER . . .
Abbott: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
Costello: How do I turn my computer off?
Abbott: Click on “START”……….

Hotmail
Founder Jack Smith got the idea of accessing e-mail via the web from a computer anywhere in the world.When Sabeer Bhatia came up with the business plan for the mail service, he tried all kinds of names ending in ‘mail’ and finally settled for hotmail as it included the letters “html” - the programming language used to write web pages. It was initially referred to as HoTMaiL with selective uppercasing.
Hewlett Packard
Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard tossed a coin to decide whether the company they founded would be called Hewlett-Packard or Packard-Hewlett.

Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore wanted to name their new company ‘Moore Noyce’ but that was already trademarked by a hotel chain so they had to settle for an acronym of INTegrated ELectronics.
Lotus (Notes)
Mitch Kapor got the name for his company from ‘The Lotus Position’ or ‘Padmasana’. Kapor used to be a teacher of Transcendental Meditation of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Microsoft
Coined by Bill Gates to represent the company that was devoted to MICROcomputer SOFTware. Originally christened Micro-Soft, the ‘-’ was removed later on.

They kept the name Oracle and created the RDBMS engine. Later they kept the same name for the company.
Sony
It originated from the Latin word ’sonus’ meaning sound, and ’sonny’ a slang used by Americans to refer to a bright youngster.
SUN

If your windows is not showing folder options, registry editor or task manager then here is a little trick to enable these.
But this is temporary. You will have to remove virus after that from your computer.
Create a restore.vbs file
Edit it in notepad and write these lines in it.
On Error Resume Next
Set shl = CreateObject(”WScript.Shell”)
Set fso = CreateObject(”scripting.FileSystemObject”)
shl.RegDelete “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools”
shl.RegDelete “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableTaskMgr”
shl.RegDelete
Save it anywhere and run it. You will get these options back.

Our Internet modem tweaks may help you acquire a faster modem speed by changing a few settings. We used these tweaks with a 56k dialup modem running on Windows XP Professional with good results. However, since connection setups and ISPs vary greatly, the information provided may or may not work with your particular configuration.
Write down your current settings
Modem tweaks and fumbling fingers do not work well together. ALWAYS write down your existing settings BEFORE changing anything. This way you can easily change back to your original settings if you make a mistake or the tweak does not work for your particular modem. We are NOT responsible for any problems you may encounter by using the modem tweaks below - you are tweaking at your own risk.
1 - Modem Tweaks - A Few Basic Tweaks
Here are a few basic modem tweaks that may or may not give you a minor speed increase. For serious speed increases, we recommend professionally engineered software solutions.
Remember… there are many PC system configurations, etc., so of course we can NOT guarantee the modem tweaks below will work for everyone. You will be continuing at your own risk as this information is for your consideration only and is NOT guaranteed to be accurate.
Most of these tweaks require you to open the Control Panel - so open it and keep it open. If you don’t know how to open your Control Panel - please go to your Windows Help (Click Start button) or manual and learn more about your computer before continuing. Or consider using an accelerator that will safely boost your speed FAR beyond what simple modem tweaks can do.
2 - Communications Port
In the Control Panel, click on System and select Device Manager. Open up Ports [COM & LPT] and select the port your modem is on (COM2 on our system) by highlighting it and clicking Properties near the bottom. Now click Port Settings and move on to the next paragraph. NOTE - if your modem is not listed on one of these ports, please move to step 6.
3 - Bits Per Second Settings
We need to change these settings because your modem speed is usually optimally set up for 115000 bits per second. So if this port is set at 9600 bps (the default), you’re losing valuable Internet speed. Change the Bits per second to at least 115000 for 56k modems. You may be able to set it higher, but if you experience problems, just drop it back to 115000. If you have a 28k modem, you should set the BPS to 57600. Now keep everything open and move on to the next paragraph.
4 - Flow Control
The flow control (near bottom) is usually set by default to Xon/Xoff which is the software control. Change this to Hardware to receive the full benefit of your modem. Now click the Advanced button and move to the next paragraph.
5 - Receive-Transmit Buffers
The default value usually has the Receive Buffer at the 2/3 mark. Slide the Receive Buffer fully to the right (High) to match the Transmit Buffer which should already be fully to the right. This should increase performance but if you do experience problems, simply return it to the previous value. We’re done with the Communications Port, so set all the values by click OK in all the open boxes - but keep your Control Panel open.
6 - Modem Settings
From your Control Panel window, click and open modems. Highlight your modem (already done if there’s only one to choose) and click on Properties (NOT Dialling Properties). You should be in the General tab.
If you are annoyed by that annoying dialup sound, here’s your chance to silence it. Simply move the Speaker volume slider all the way to the left. If you do experience problems, simply return here and put it back up and accept my condolences. Also, some people like to hear the modem dialling in when tweaking to hear if the dialling is successful. It’s best to change this after you are comfortable that your modem is functioning properly.
Now make sure the Maximum speed is set to 115000 if you have a 56k modem. If you have a 28k modem, you need to be at 57600. Now make sure the Only connect at this speed box is NOT checked.
Now click on Connection tab. Data bits should be set to 8, Parity to none, and Stop bits to 1. Then click on Port Settings and move the Receive Buffer slider all the way to the right (High). Now click OK to close the Port Settings and then click Advanced and continue to the next paragraph.
7 - Advanced Connection Settings
See if you have the optimal settings and correct as needed.
• Use error control should be CHECKED.
• Required to connect should be UNCHECKED.
• Compress data should be CHECKED.
• Use flow control should be CHECKED.
• Hardware [RTS/CTS] should be CHECKED (actually a dot).
• Software [XON/XOFF] is therefore blanked.
• Modulation type should be set to Standard. (If option available)
What about the Extra settings you say? This is for an initialization string that you can add. I never experienced any performance boost with the init string. What it did do was take control of my modems sound setting so I couldn’t turn the sound off. I removed it to get relief from the annoying dialup noise. If you’re still interested, you’ll need the make and model of your modem before you run to Google to search for your init string.
Don’t forget to bookmark this page. After you have completed the modem tweaks, you should reboot your machine for the changes to take effect.

A computer is a machine for manipulating data according to a list of instructions.
Computers take numerous physical forms. Early electronic computers were the size of a large room, absorbing as much power as several hundred modern computers. Today, computers can be made small enough to fit into a wrist watch and be powered from a watch battery. Society has come to recognize personal computers and their portable equivalent, the laptop computer, as icons of the information age; they are what most people think of as “a computer”. However, the most common form of computer in use today is by far the embedded computer. Embedded computers are small, simple devices that are often used to control other devices—for example, they may be found in machines ranging from fighter aircraft to industrial robots, digital cameras, and even children’s toys.
