What Does That EULA Really Say?

End User License Agreements (EULa's) are really the bane of computer owners. Before you can install that software, you have to agree to the darn license agreement. Most EULA's are long, involved and couched in legalese and you could be agreeing to almost anything. Many a spyware program has been downloaded because the EULA was either not read or not understood by a frustrated computer owner. Javacool Software has come through again! I came across this FREE (for personal use) program called EULAlyzer that will skim through those troublesome EULA's looking for suspect words and phrases. Now you can have some idea just what the darn EULA really does say and decide whether you want to agree to it or not.

Can't Find Your Cursor?

Have you ever had trouble locating the cursor on your screen? Whether it’s jammed in a corner or camouflaged in a cloud on your desktop, this shortcut is a clever little feature in Windows XP.

1. Open the Start menu and click "Control Panel".
2. Choose "Printers and other hardware" and click "Mouse".
3. Go to the "Pointer Options" tab and check the box that says "Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key".
4. Click OK to exit.

Now, if you ever lose your cursor, just tap the Ctrl key to find it again. Isn't that the neatest thing you ever heard?
