Software Installation (Lesson 4)

Workstation Operating Systems
Introduction

When you are planning to use a computer as a workstation is a network, you should make sure that computer meets the necessary requirements. In some cases, it may only meet the hardware requirements without any software. In some cases, something could be missing. In previous lessons, we cover the issues related to making sure that the computer was ready. In some other cases, you may plan to purchase brand new computers that you would use to build your network.

  

How to Use a BlackBerry With Laptop for Internet Connection.

Although laptops are certainly convenient, if you need to be online all the time, it can be difficult to locate and use public Wi-Fi if you are always on the go. However, if you have a BlackBerry smartphone, you can use it with your laptop to connect to the Internet. Although you have to be conscious of any fees associated with using your BlackBerry to connect to the Internet, it is a nice way to keep yourself constantly connected on the go. 

INSTRUCTION 

 1. Call your phone service provider. Although your BlackBerry already has modem functionality included, this will need to be "activated." Make sure to ask about any additional usage charges you will incur as a result of activating this service. 

2 Download the modem/Blackberry management software for your device. Every carrier has their own unique software to use, and you will either have to download it from your carrier's website (this is the most common option) or go to your carrier's location and pick up a CD with the program on it. 

3. Once you have installed the software, restart your computer. 

4 Open the management software you just installed and then connect your BlackBerry to the

12 THINGS I KNOW ABOUT BUSINESS

1. YOU'RE IN SALES WHETHER YOU KNOW IT OR NOT.

No matter what you think your job is, a major part of it should be about sales and your ability to get others to do what you want.

You're kidding yourself if you think: "I'm creative so I don't have to worry about selling, that's someone else's job." And an even more dangerous and industry-wide presumption is: "I'm so good at what I do, business will always find me." (See "Know yourself. Really." below).

Say you work within an organization where your responsibilities do not directly include "sales." Are you off-the-hook? Nope. Sales is more than just customers or clients - you have to sell co-workers on your vision, bosses on your abilities, suppliers on helping you even when you're just one of many customers.

2. MORE THAN SIMPLY SELLING, RELATIONSHIPS MATTER.

My business has evolved over thirty years and even though I don't see myself ever - let me repeat, ever - going back to creating TV spots for local car dealerships, I've enjoyed several repeat clients over the years. One, in fact, has now hired me three times at three differen

Operating Systems

Introduction

A workstation is a computer that is a member of a network. At homes and small businesses, the most regular operating system, at the time of this writing, is probably Microsoft 

Windows XP Home Edition. Other regularly used operating systems from Microsoft are Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Microsoft Windows 9X, and Microsoft Windows 2000

 Professional. On this site, we will mostly cover Microsoft Windows XP Professional.

When preparing to get or acquire your workstations, you may be in one of the following scenarios.

Using New Computers

If you get a contract to build a network for a small business or you are going to create a new network for a home, you may decide to purchase brand new computers. If you haven't  bought the computer(s) but are planning to, refer to our section on purchasing or acquiring new computers in the Lesson 4.

Using Existing Computers 

If you already have one or more computers that you plan to use as workstations, in the

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR TODDLER SCREAMS

Believe it or not, your toddler’s volume isn’t turned up high to annoy you, but because she’s exploring the power of the voice, and experimenting with what she can do with it.

And why does she always let rip when you’re at the supermarket or big hall? It’s because, there’s a lovely echoing effect when you scream in big open space!

Some toddlers scream whenever they want their parents attention it’s their way of saving, “Hey, look at me!” others scream when they want something they can’t have, such as a biscuit or a friend’s toy. In that case the shrieking means, “I want my way. Give it .to me now!”

Shouting at your toddler to lower her voice won’t help. It’ll just send the message that whoever shouts loudest wins. Your best bet is to avoid situation that tempt your toddler to raise her voice and to divert her attention when she does scream Here are some ideas:

                                  

Pick toddler-friendly item and places

Whenever you can, work around your toddler and her sleep, and food needs. Try to make sure she’s well rested and head a bite to eat before you leave the house. If you were tired and hungry, you wouldn’t have the patience for shopping, either.

When you’re out with your toddler, stay away from quiet, intimate or formal places. Instead, go where other families go.
