    Windows 8.1 Users Planning to Switch to Windows 7 Due to..

    You fellows are lucky. Unfortunately, for a large group of workstation users, including HP Z820 users like me, Microsoft introduced a nasty bug in Update 1 that causes the LSI SAS driver to fail. Microsoft has a workaround published involving a reduction of system RAM and a rollback. Pretty...

    How many of you also have an Apple computer?

    The Mac Mini is basically an all-in-one without a screen. It's Apple's cheapest computer. I like using Windows more and the sky's the limit with respect to hardware on the Windows side. After the introduction of the trashcan Mac Pro, that was it for me.

    Which Brand Of Laptop Are You Using?

    Dell user here (Precision line). Switched this year after being an Apple user for about 13 years: the reverse switch! I must say that I did this switch with great trepidation, even after running Win 7 virtually under OS X with no problems for 2 years. So far it has been a great experience both...

    Solved Sign Documents With A Stylus On The Screen?

    OP: yes, it'll be very easy to do. The Duo 11 has an active digitizer so it's designed to do just what you want and much, much more. There are a few pdf software annotators around: I use Bluebeam PDF Revu.
