I've Been "Setup" Again!

When I download a program or an upgrade, the last thing I want the file named is "setup.exe" or "install". Because I don't always install the program right away, I may lose track of it. Worse, other downloads invariably have the same name, making it even harder to figure out which is which. What a pain!

Here's the solution: Simply right click and rename the file in the "Save As" dialog box before downloading it, using the program's name and version. Now why didn't I think of that?

"Urban Legends" Spam?

If someone sends me a stupid "forward this to all your friends" urban-legend e-mail, I look it up on About.com's Urban Legends and Folklore page and then send them the link. It's amazing what people will believe just because it comes in a nicely typed e-mail. I guess I've embarrassed enough people that they don't send those messages to me anymore, but I still get lots of other spam. Anyway, now you know how to check it out for yourself. Have fun!
