There is also a page on Wikipedia devoted to the dispute over whether or not this is even true.

I would NOT recommend putting important documents in a safety deposit box (at least not the primary copy). I know that in my state the contents of safety deposit boxes are sealed upon death — not very helpful for those left behind.

does anyone else think it is a little creepy to name your child based on how well his (or her) name googles? eek.

I love Quicken. I don't upgrade it every year, but even shelling out $40 every few years is totally worth it to me.

I highly recommend ACDSee — it's a great tool for photo organization (features more extensive than Picasa or Photoshop Elements).

I don't know if there is software specific to freezer cooking, but I use MasterCook for all of my recipes. It's a great program if you have a lot of recipes to organize or calculate the nutritional data on. There are lots of recipe software programs out there, and I think I've tried almost all of them, but I always…

I just added an account to my Gmail account and there IS a check mail now link.

After my husband put his ipod nano through the washing machine (yes, really), I ordered a new battery from Kokopelli for $23. They have instructions on their website for how to install a new battery, or you can pay a little extra and they will do it for you.

I use a paper towel. That works pretty well too.

I'd like to see something about controlling the vast amounts of digital media on my hard drive (especially photos)and backing them up. What's the best/most efficient/safest way to do this? Should I be using external hard drives, burning to DVDs, or using an online service (like Flickr Pro, SmugMug,etc)?

I have to put in a plug for KnightCite, http://webapps.calvin.edu/knightcite/

they also have some great ones at http://www.diyplanner.com/templates/inde…

I love http://www.sparkpeople.com/ It has calorie counters, recipes, forums, exercise tracker, videos to demonstrate weight lifting, and it lets me set a goal based on pounds to lose or the amount of time I have.

I lived in Asia while teaching English and everyone (teachers included) rushed home after lunch to take a little nap. It was great. I feel completely refreshed after a 10-20 minute nap.

You can adjust exactly what CCleaner will remove from Firefox by going under Cleaner > Applications. Under Firefox it gives you five options — cookies, download history, internet cache, internet history, and saved form information.

I work in a library and we have a giant box of lost disks, cd-roms, usb drives, etc that patrons have left in our computers. We never check the contents of the items before we throw them in the box. But if there was a label on the outside we would definitely call the number. I think the low-tech method might be more…
