As of now, we are using the Broadband internet Connection for only one PC. What would be the case if two ppl wanna use with two different desktops simultaneously. As i am aware about the network devices like Hub, Switch & Router, So it would be better if you give any other alternative solution which should be cost reductive and efficient. Moreover i am using Static IP Address. Thanks in Advance for your assistance.

no any other

I have a Mac and I want to know where the folder is for the desktops.

THis is the locaion:
Macintosh HD:Users:<User Name>:Desktop Folder

I just got a job fixing desktops and laptops and i want to buy the best tools and newest everything please throw in your opinion on what you think some good tools are

Visit a local computer store or electronics website and buy one of those big tool kits. I have personally bought a kit from NewEgg made by Roswell and it has helped me repair and maintain many systems in my home or for friends. Ask your coworkers what they recommend.

What i am looking for and asking myself is, if there is anyway i can get lets say 2 desktops or more which are completely separated from each other? with this i mean, that to siwtch to the other desktop you need a password, and for example have 2 Msn’s on at the same time, 2 skypes etc etc.I’m new to MAC so i really dont know, if anyone could help.
thanks.

There is a way to do what you want (virtualization) but using Spaces inside MacOS will only give you separate screens, you won’t be able to run multiple instances of Skype and MSN as different users (simultaneously).

Virtualization can be done with something like Virtualbox (free). It’ll let you run a separate instance of an operating system, completely separate from the host OS you’re running it under (in this case MacOS).

The catch is Apple won’t let you virtualize MacOS so you’d need to run Windows or Linux under Virtualbox. It may be possible to run MacOS under Virtualbox but it’s not allowed by Apple and won’t be easy. Either way, virtulization is not trivial… it’ll be a learning curve for the average computer user.

Whenever the newer models come out, I wonder about what happens to the older models that are already available. Do they sell them somewhere for cheaper price or something?

I would guess they sell them to 3rd party vendors.

I currently use google chrome internet browser love it and I know google is releasing an OS for netbooks but are they releasing one for desktops and if so any idea when?

Google’s operating system is called chromium and its on beta but is open source.

I don’t know what happened but everything that was on my desktop as icons are gone.. They’re still on the start menu and control panel but when I click on them, they won’t open. I’m so frustrated! Help!

i have the same problem too..
try open windows task manager…
(ctrl-alt-del)
then click file then new task and browse the thing you want to open then click ok….

I need a Server/Workstation and 6 workstations. The Server needs about 80 GB hard drive. I have the flatscreens already. I’m looking for the cheapest, most reliable computer out there, and don’t know where to start.

the cheapest most reliable computer is often the one you build yourself. you remove the middle man and get great deals

My daughters have a desktop computer and my partner has a laptop which connects to the wireless with no problem. When i try with my desktop it comes up with wireless connection ‘not available’, Why is this?
My computer has an ethernet card.

your desktop may not be wifi enabled if so then you have to connect using a ethernet cable into the rear of the router or buy a wireless usb adapter so that you can connect - hope it helps

I know that, Worst are Pentum D and Pentium 4, Core 2duo is good. Are smaller desktop saves money for electricity?

Brand name won’t tell you a great deal, and neither will the model to some extent. A 45nm Pentium D is way more efficient than a 60nm Core 2 Duo. Also, lower clock rates mean the processor runs cooler which means the fan doesn’t need so much power, which is a plus, and desktops with Solid State Drives instead of traditional Hard Disks use FAR less electricity because there are no moving parts. Also, onboard GPU’s are more power efficient than dedicated ones because they don’t need to be cooled seperately, and also because using a powerful card will require you to install like a 700 watt PSU.
