Something for every computer repair techs bag!

Every computer repair tech should have one of these guys stashed away. It's a multi-purpose USB Internet sharing and PC data transfer tool, yes some thing so small yet it promises a lot. Connection is simple, the driver free tool connects up your XP or Vista machine and will tether the internet connection at the same time giving you the ability to transfer from machine to machine of connect to the internet to pull some important drivers or updates.

Now I'm not exactly what the internet sharing usefulness is, unless you are working on a older machine with no wireless or network connectivity as a wireless card is a standard in almost every machine, isn't it? But I'm sure once and a while you run into an older machine that is sans wireless card! Or maybe the wireless card is broke and it's a sorry wireless'less machine. Then this thing could save you! Yah .. ok.. anyways. $29.00 US at Brando

Making Skype Portable - USB, PSP and More.

Making a voice call Skype has been a great way to connect with friends at no cost. Skype to Skype calls are FREE, so connecting with classmates, colleagues and family members doesn't always have to cost anything. So why not take Skype with you when your out and about. Now if you tote around your notebook than you probably already take advantage of Skyping on the road, all you need is a wifi hotspot and your connecting with someone.

Another option is connection your PSP-2000 to Skype. Which is far less to carry around. The software is available at SONY for download, here is the instruction page, then you just need to pick up a compatible headset to listen and talk away!

Now if you want to go ulta portable, putting Skype on to a USB stick, would make Skype abvaiable at any place you can plug it in.. Hotel lobbies, internet cafes and libraries with internet access.

Now you need to install the latest version of Skype and have a USB key. To get started plug in your USB key.

1. Locate the Skype program directory, (Default is C:\program files\Skype)
2. Copy the Skype.exe to a directory on your flash drive
3. In the same folder make a new folder named DATA
4. Lets now create the file that you will use to lauch Skype from your USB key.
5. Rename this new file to StartSkype.bat or Lauch_Skype.bat, name it what ever makes sense to you.
6.Open your new file using Notepad or another text editor and write this line.
"skype.exe /datapath:"data" /removable" (without the quotes).
7. Save and close your file

This has been tested with the Skype 4.0 and works well.

If you are making Skype to land line calls Skype has some very competative rates and packages for local and long distance calling.
