Updates to the Webpage
****************************

    Well, this is the maiden voyage for ComputerTweak.com and the first newsletter for 
this website.  Basically this is a short-run newsletter, umm, I mean that almost no one 
will see this, but I thought I have to write one and I might as well start now with 
getting into the habit of writing a bi-monthly Newsletter.  The webpage is coming along 
nicely I think, it's still rough around the edges and there are lots of things I had to 
add and lots of tutorials yet to come.  Also my ebook section is empty at the moment, but 
it will soon fill up with some interesting ebooks or at least I hope they will be interesting 
ebooks.  At the moment there are 15 tutorials on the site, plenty of freeware downloads, 
and also some pearls of wisdom on everything from Outlook Express to Internet security.  
So, stop by the website and poke around.

     Oh, and don't forget the messageboards I set up, they're feeling mighty lonely at the 
moment and if I don't start getting postings soon I'll just have to start talking to myself on 
the boards.  Trust me, you don't want me talking to myself on the messageboards, it just 
won't be a pretty sight.  That's all for this section of the newsletter.  Thanks for  
subscribing and I look forward to hearing from all the people that stop off at 
ComputerTweak.Com

Sincerely,
Andrew Montgomery

Tech Tips
****************************

     This is a Windows XP tip that should convince everyone to upgrade to Windows XP.  
The system restore function in Windows XP allows you to completely restore you system 
to a previous date, meaning that it takes a snapshot of your system, and if you want to 
restore it to a few days before (like when your computer was working) you just go to 
system restore and pick a date from the calendar of dates they have listed.  I've already 
had to use this function once.  A friend recommended a program that was a little less than 
stable...I was getting all sorts of interesting errors from it, but DA DA DAAAAAA along
came system restore to completely fix my computer to it's working condition of a day 
ago.
     
     You get to System Restore by going to Start-->All Programs-->System Tools--
>system restore.  This will bring up the interface and a calendar where you can pick a 
restore point.  If you want a complete tutorial on this with pictures, ahhh pictures make 
everything easier, then go to: http://www.webterrace.com/tweak/4.htm  This is the 
tutorial on ComputerTweak.Com

     System restore, feel the power of easily fixing your comp...probably the best feature in 
Windows XP.

Freeware Download
***************************

     I'm a freeware fanatic, I just can't stop myself from downloading and trying out new 
software.  A lot of the stuff I download just ends up deleted shortly after I install it, but 
then there are these programs that just blow me away.  Well, here's one of the great 
freeware programs I found and recommend to everyone.  Belarc Advisor, it's a freeware 
download that will basically look at your computer and tell you everything that's on it at 
the moment.  It will give you a detailed listing of your processor, the cards you have 
installed, the ram you have, a complete list of the programs you have installed, the
drivers your computer uses.  Just about everything you could want to know about your 
computer.   So, download Belarc Advisor at www.belarc.com


That's it for this edition of ComputerTweak.com Newsletter...Have a Wonderful Holiday 
Season :o)
