HELP!! I need to know which desktop to buy that's good for the money!!

My husband and I are going to buy a desktop. I've tried looking on the web to find consumer reports...but I'm still not sure what to get. All we need it for is mainly web browsing and we want it to be FAST...pics and media mean a great deal too though! We can't stand a slow PC!! Gaming, stuff like that, we don't care anything about. We've got an external hard drive so we don't need it for storage really. Please help!! I need advice!!

Hey there! If you are looking for a good desktop that will meet your needs, I would suggest taking a look at desktops by Asus. They have good parts and won't let you down. This desktop is particularly great at providing the features you need without the fluff, and right now it's on sale. You can find it at most BBY stores, too.
What makes that computer good is that it has a first generation i5 processor. There are new processors out now, but they're still finding their market. The i5 is a processor strapped to a rocket. It's fast, effective and can handle just about anything you throw at it. Its speed scales with your use, so if you are using the computer for a heavy task it will speed up to accommodate you. That computer also has 6 gigs of memory, which is great (I always hear my customers saying "More gigabytes!") for doing just about anything, too. Your internet browsing sessions won't slow down. For the hard drive, you get a little overkill -- a 1 terabyte hard drive. That's a lot of storage, but you can download and save movies, pictures and just about anything and not have to worry about running out of space for quite some time. The hard drive itself is fast as well, spinning at 7200 revolutions per minute rather than the subpar 5400 revolutions per minute. So you get fast access times to everything, and your computer will turn on quicker. You also get a ton of data card slots on the front and plenty of USB port access.
In terms of price for features, this is currently a good deal. A full-blown desktop complete with an operating system and case with data card slots, a fast hard drive and an ample cpu is hard to find for cheap anymore. I am certain you could build your own for about the same price, but it probably wouldn't be as fast as this.
Overall, Asus makes fantastic hardware that is often the enthusiasts choice. I would ignore the 11 reviews completely, as there are more than 11 people in the world who probably have purchased this desktop. Remember, people who are given a reason to rant will.
Enjoy!
The views expressed in this post are my own, and do not necessarily reflect those of Best Buy's. But you can expect them to make you chuckle.

Get to know which one is active Stroke or Fill for the document.

Is there any way to find out which one, between stroke or fill, is active for a particular document using illustrator scripting?
I have to apply color on the selected object accordingly.
If fill is active then i use obj.fill.color = 0xff00ff; and,
if stroke is active then i use obj.stroke.color = 0xff00ff;
But i am not able to find which one is active..
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanx...

Thanx Mark...
I had used these properties filled and stroked but it doesnt give me what i want...
Here is the sample code:
pathArt = new PathItem();
if(pathArt.selected)
     if(pathArt.filled == true)
          pathArt.fillColor = colorValue;
      else if(pathArt.stroked == true)
          pathArt.strokeColor = colorValue;
value of both pathArt.filled and pathArt.stroked are true, it didnt tell me which one(stroke/fill) is active.
Anyways thanx for ur help i'll find any work around....

I need to know which install disk to buy for my mac serial number 17*****ZE4

Need to know which install disk to buy since I lost my original.
<Edited by Host>

You have an 24" Early 2008 iMac. It came with Mac OS X 10.5, and you would need the disk set for your specific model. It's possible that if you call Apple Support, they can still sell you a set, but that model of iMac is no longer supported by Apple so Support may not be able to help. If not, then you'll need to look to private sellers or companies that sell obsolete software.
You can also call the online Apple Store and purchase a retail copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

If I have two or more iTunes Libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on my desktop?

You cannot.
When you sync to a new library, it will erase the current content.
Use your backup copy of the old computer to copy everything to the new one.

Need to know which upgrade to purchase

I'm staggered that Adobe makes it this difficult to even get advice.
I have been using Photoshop CS3 on a MacbookPro. I recently upgraded (was upgraded!) to Mavericks.
Now Photoshop CS3 no longer works (of course).
I need to know which product to purchase as an upgrade that WILL work. I can't find any sales number to call to ask, or any way to chat with sales personnel. I find a forum to be an extraordinarily time-consuming way to ask what is probably the simplest question out there.

You have 2 choices:
Join the Creative Cloud (monthly subscription) and get the current release PS CC 2014.
Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
Or, purchase the older PS CS6 (the last suite Adobe sold outright).
Creative Suite 6
Understand that if you purchase CS6, it will never get the updates that Creative Cloud users get.

Need advice on which licensing to buy

I work in PC tech support by day, and have supported a friend's small business on and off for the last few years.
I am tasked with upgrading an aging Win 2000 server and am thoroughly confused by Microsoft's new terminology for their services and licensing for Windows Server 2012.
Here's what currently exists on site:
2 MS DOS PCs (before you ask - specialty manufacturing equipment)
4 XP PCs (also manufacturing equipment)
4 windows 7 clients
Windows 2000 server which is central repository of programming files for the manufacturing equipment
5-10 users (employees, including myself for maintenance tasks)
What I'm adding:
New Server with windows 2012 server.
5 Thin Clients for Adobe Reader, MS Office applications only.
I understand now that RDS is more or less like Citirx, and not a licensing mechanism that controls RDP sessions, which I initially thought. I need to know the minimum (cheapest) amount of licensing required for the above scenario. I had originally
spec'd out Server 2012 standard with 10 User CALs, but now I'm seeing that if I want to configure the thin clients in a way where all they have is special access then I need RDS CALs as well.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Yeah, you need RDS CAL (User or Device) as per your requirement with standard CAL. A Windows Remote Desktop Services client access license (CAL) is required for each device or user accessing Windows Remote Desktop Services.
But please remember that when you purchase RDS CAL for your user, before that you have RD License Server install and activated and after that only you can install RDS CAL to it. In your scenario you can buy the required number of User CAL and can meet your
needs.
But also see that you have updated version of RDP client on client system. (Win XP to RDP 7.0 and Win 7 to RDP 8.1).
For more information on Licensing, please check below article.
An Introduction to Microsoft Server and Client Licensing
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

I'm a beginner and would like to know which Photoshop to use (so many options). The only edits I care about being able to do are: whitening teeth, smoothing complexions/taking away blemishes. Does any photoshop have these options? I haven't been able to find the teeth whitening one anywhere. Also, I don't want it to lessen the high quality if my photos. Thank you so much!!

Hi Erika,
I came to Lightroom quite recently (in the last month!) from Photoshop Elements 11. I like the organization features in LR better, but for adjustments such as the ones that you mentioned I would leave LR and go back to Photoshop Elements 11, primarily because that is what I know. I don't use the subscription service, mainly because I already owned and installed the boxed version of Photoshop Elements 11 and adding it to a subscription service with Lightroom seemed redundant. I am sure someone in the community will (or has) comment(ed) that it is possible to whiten teeth and cure blemishes within LR, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Check out the TV Adobe free tutorials, particularly Julianne Kost's tutorials. She has a good presentation style and you might find the LR answer that you need with detailed instructions.

I need to know how to copy pictures to a cd with the captions showing, elements 8 and windows 7

I need to know how to copy
pictures to a cd with the captions showing, elements 8, windows 7

Here are some suggestions. Perhaps others will have even better ideas.
1 -- for viewing on a Windows computer, you can experiment with making a PSE Organizer slide show creation in which you specify to show the captions. Then save the Output of the slide show as a WMV file that the recipient could play on a computer with Windows Media Player.
If you have a DVD burner on your PC, you can also use that WMV file as input to the Windows 7 DVD Maker program for making a TV playable DVD. And if your recipient(s) who will view on a computer have DVD readers, you could make video DVDs playable on computers or TV DVD players instead of using CDs.
The limitations of this approach are that this wmv file you create is really a video file so
-- it advances photo slides at the rate specified when you create the slide show
-- the choices to save a wmv file are not very high resolution so that recipients who have high resolution monitors will not see the photo images are not getting the benefit of seeing the photos at their best
-- your recipients can't print from this video slide show
2 An entirely different approach is to
-- For each individual photo, make a copy of the photo file and depending on how high resolution your originals you might want to resize down to monitor viewing sizes.
-- Then use the PSE Editor Text Tool to place the caption on a layer above the photo. (I think that you could display the existing caption and then do a copy and paste so that you don't need to retype everything.)
-- You should save this photo copy with the text as a uniquely named JPEG file. Use the file names to control the sequence in which you want the viewer to see the photos. (Don't save as a PSD because others probably can't read the PSD format).
-- Then use your computers CD burning software to burn a folder containing all those jpeg files with the captions to CD
This approach is a bit of work for each photo and you did not say how many photo files you will be doing. However,
-- computer users should be able to display the jpegs as high resolution photos on their computer as well as optionally print from those photo files
-- many TV DVD players can play (display) jpg files from a CD disc which also gives recipients the opportunity to view the photos on their larger TV screen
Process 2 may seem complicated but once you get started I think it will be more of a production line.

Do you have any portrait orientation photos included with those you wish to send ? If yes, we might need to discuss some additional processing for them.

I can't access the account because your system doesn't recognize the last password -- and it won't let me change the password because it says the birthday information is wrong -- it's not. There is no help item for that either, so somebody PLEASE tell me how to get around this problem. My music is being held hostage.

Need to know of a method / process that can be used to send the same msg to all those appearing in my email listings with the same extension after the "@" sign in their address(es) on my macbook [e.g., with "@gov.ca"; Snow Leopard].

Need to know of a method / process that can be used to send the same msg to all those appearing in my email listings with the same extension after the "@" sign in their address(es) on my macbook [Snow Leopard].

If you simply want to send the exact same message to everyone in your address book with emails ending in "@whatever.com", you can do the following:
Create an email with subject, message and attachments but no addresses
Open Address Book, All Contacts
Search in Address Book for @whatever.com
Select the results and drag them into the To: or Bcc: field of the email. If Bcc: then put your email address in the To: field.
Send the email
This will not personalize the emails (such as with "Dear firstname:" at the top of the message) but it will let you send an idential message to everyone who meets your criteria.
