At last I bought Windows 7 ultimate for $320 ($2,499), from history here I bought Vista nearly 3 years ago. The rearm trick didn’t work and I have no other alternatives of OS for work. My MacBook Pro just can’t connect to network resources running obsolete versions of windows server here.
How much longer I can use my Evaluation copy? Type “slmgr.vbs -dlv” in cmd.exe you’ll find out below.
You may get a different expiry date if you run ‘winver’ in command line since you are allowed to extend the evaluation period a few times, that’s called ‘rearm count’ or Re-Arm a grace period of 30 days each count.
Other tricks I may need to extend the life of my RC copy are here and there.
I have never used bluebooth mouse before.
It’s particularly good if you feel 2 USB ports aren’t enough and you didn’t bring a hub with you. Bluetooth requires no dongle and most notebook will support it.
I’m very pleased with the touchpad on my new MBP especially the gestures using multiple fingers. Well once in a while a mouse is better.
For many years we like forwarding incoming emails to a webmail provider such as gmail (because it’s nearly bottomless but not quite) so that we can still read emails when we are away from office. OWA, Outlook Web Access, of our exchange servers isn’t available in our company.
Forwarding incoming email by a rule isn’t too difficult this can be done in Tools>Rules and Alerts in outlook. However there isn’t a simple way to get a copy of all my outgoing email to my webmail account.
The solution is VBA, something that I haven’t touched for many years, coding in Outlook.
Fire up your VBA IDE in outlook by Alt-F11, paste the code from here, don’t forget something basics of VBA in here about security settings then it’s easily done.
Now I’m not forwarding my office emails to gmail instead I’m trying out hotmail to see if it’s as good as gmail.
