I don't like this episode one bit. If people have a problem, they use google to search for the solution. A movie where you guys show tips that can be found on 1000+ websites is completly useless.

This was a tipsformygrandmother.tv episode...

I liked the PlayStation 3 hard drive upgrade coverage.

great episode this week. I didn't know about the power save setting in Vista. I'm not a regular Vista user, but this might be a reason to use Vista more often. Nice piece on the PS3 hard disk upgrade, too. I upgraded mine in January of 2007 from a 60GB to a Fujitsu 160GB 5400K RPM drive, but I'll be sending a link to this episode along to a friend that is also wanting to upgrade his storage space. Thanks again!

Crankup Windows XP Boot Time!

Thought I would share some information with everyone about startup applications. Sometime this can be a dawnting task to locate which application are ok to disable and which ones aren't. This site has provided it self useful on many occations. Check it out - http://sysinfo.org/startuplist.php It povides a giant list of startup applications and what they exactly do. Please always use caution when disabling startup apps.

Great episode guys....
