WIFI
Short for wireless fidelity and is meant to be used generically when referring of any type of 802.11 network, whether 802.11b, 802.11a, dual-band, etc. The term is promulgated by the Wi-Fi Alliance.

You got a great deal on the computer. Couple of suggestions. If you’re going to use the laptop at home, I’d suggest you get a laptop cooling pad. The pad has extra fans to help circulate air and takes the strain off the internal fan. Laptop will last longer. You can see what they look like at this eBay link:

http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&ht=1&shortcut=0&from=R41&query=laptop+cooling+pad&category0=&Submit=Search

At some point you’ll probably want to add some extras like a printer, maybe another external hard drive (if you want to save a lot of music, games, photos), plug in a digital camera, or that laptop cooling pad, etc. All of these need to be plugged in to a USB port and you’ve got only two of them. So I’d suggest a USB Hub. It’s like an extension cord with at least 4 ports. Plug one in and your 2 ports become 5 ports. Here’s another eBay link so you can see what they look like:

http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&catref=C6&from=R10&satitle=laptop+usb+2.0+hub&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=78213&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search&fgtp=

You’ve got some extras thrown in that will cost you big bucks if you decide to renew the trial subscriptions. In my opinion, Norton is a memory hog. And Microsoft Office just costs too much. There’s a lot of really excellent freeware available. For free antivirus and antispyware poducts look at AVG, Kapersky, SpyBot, even Windows Defender. You can do an advanced search through Yahoo Answers for links. And there’s a free suite of office products from OpenOffice.org that’s just as good as Microsoft Office and it’s totally compatible.

And finally, if you ever want to learn more about your computer, or get the latest drivers, BIOS, scan for problems, etc., here’s a link to the Compaq support page. Lots of good info here:

Hope some of this helps.

What do you think? Answer below!

I use Windows XP SP2, I want to know if there’s a software that allows me to make PC to mobile / Land-line calls free of cost, not like Skype that charges me.

Thank you.
