Another Instant Message from Peanut says hi I love your show. I was just wondering if there are any type of websites that you can safely download music without any Spyware any of the bigger site safe like Yahoo Music or MSN? Of course they are very safe. They are very safe iTunes music store very safe, Sony Connect very safe, RapCity as far as I know very safe, not as successful as they would like to be, but very safe. And that*s great now one last Instant Message from TLFCO how important is bus speed when it comes to booting up, downloading or processing? It*s much more important to processing than it is to downloading or booting up and that*s if you are needing to grab a bunch of data off of one of your devices. If you are simply doing stuff in memory bus speed doesn*t really matter. But when you are moving data around from a hard drive to RAM or from a CD-Rom to a hard drive that*s going through your bus. And so the bus speed then is important. Usually there is little that taxes a computer*s bus speed. There is not much out there that will tax your bus speed. So anything is fine if you are going to pay extra for 1024, I wouldn*t do that. So again some great questions via Instant Message but in terms of how do you install a Windows XP I need more details. So that*s that. Also some other Instant Messages or web questions I got a question from somebody who I believe is running some sort of a group of computers for her staff. This is from Martha Ditman she says good evening I really like your show. My question is where I work at a library we have a bunch of Gateway computers running XP Pro with Pentium 4 processors, 20 gig hard drives, 256 megs of RAM that is not enough. 256 Megs of RAM is under powered. You have at least 512 nominally a gig of RAM when you are using XP Pro. They run incredibly slow Microsoft Word functions poorly. There are staff computers where they use Paint Shop Pro and Dreamweaver a lot. I don*t think any of those has to do with it. If they are staff and they are available to the Internet I guarantee you they are running some sort of peer to peer systems, downloading music, movies, music they have got they have been infected with Spyware that*s what*s going on. And you should run Spyware removal and make it a policy that they absolutely cannot use KaZaA, Morpheus Gropster, etc. As soon as you clean that up you will find that it works just fine. So not a problem. Finally could you please explain this is from Black Bagger Marty, please explain blogging to a smart novice computer program or not too smart novice computer fans. Blogging is simple. Blogging is taking notes on life, on your job, on your work, on your hobby and then making those notes available on the Internet to making commentary, it*s hooking people up with interesting articles, it*s being a reporter on what you love to do. And doing so with special software that allows everybody to read what you write or in the case of Podcasting what you say. So that*s what a blog is, plain and simple. Blog is short for weblog. So think of it is as a diary, an online diary. And you can use weblogs or blogs for lots of different things. We actually use a blog for our nightly show. We keep notes on what we do on the air and do that all during the show and our website is actually a blog, but that*s what a blog is. So there you go. Back to the phones 180039 online 18003966546 Dean.

Dean: Hello.

David Lawrence: Hey you are Online Tonight with David Lawrence hello.

Dean: Got a quick question on how to remove programs out of Windows because I have got some uninstalls I have done and I see the software still sitting on my PC. So I know it*s not working properly.

David Lawrence: So when you say you have done uninstalls, explain to me how you did the uninstall.

Dean: I have gone to Program Manager and I have gone through the uninstall which well so*

David Lawrence: An uninstaller that was included in the directory by the software?

Dean: Right because that*s what Windows I believe is allowing you to go through when you go to do that when you do the Add/Remove Programs.
