This phone caught my eye on Engadget this week. Vroom.

"The SX1 McLaren Limited Edition cellphone
Filling in for the distinct lack of black cellphones (and going nicely with the car itself we're sure) is this limited edition version of the SX1 cellphone from Seimens that's supposed to evoke the design of McLaren's Forumla One race car. The specs are the same as the original, with the addition of some "exclusive extra applications", such as a menu item that accesses McLaren info (which is an interesting touch) and racing sounds as ringtone options. Yeah, we're sure that won't get you beaten into a bloody pulp. Not at all. Looks like this one isn't destined for the US though."

Use Right-Button Drag and Drop
If you're not sure whether you're simply copying or really moving a file or set of files when you drag and drop them, next time try dragging with the right mouse button instead of the left one.

Right-click on a file.
Drag it to its new location.
Release the right mouse button.
From the menu select the appropriate action - Copy, Move or Create Shortcut

You may well be backing up your 'My Documents' folder onto CD or another medium. Well Done. However, don't forget that Outlook stores your emails outside of your visible 'My Documents' folder. The exact location of these valuable files and their filenames varies depending on whether you are using Outlook or Outlook Express and which version of these you have installed.

If you have a broadband connection to the internet, you should check out some of the 1000s of internet radio stations out there. For info see Dave Pollard's list of favourite stations and his Listening Online guide. I must say I am spending too much time listening to Rock Chicks Radio!

I just noticed that I visit over 250 sites on the web where I need to login with a username and password. Of course there is no way I can remember all of these. For a year or so I have been using a neat piece of software that remembers all of these for me and also fills in web forms for me at a click, remembering my name, address, phone and credit card details. The product is called Roboform and you can get a free trial to check it out. For serious use the cost is $30. If you do a lot of ecommerce and/or you list of logon-enabled sites is growing I highly recommend this time saver.

Did you use a Sinclair Spectrum in the 1980s? Then you have to see this flash video. If you haven't got broadband be patient - it is worth it. It's called Hey-Hey 16K.
