Ask the DataMan Session Follow-up

Today's Ask the DataMan session benefiting KidsTek was a great success. Many wonderful questions were asked and answered. Here is the follow-up to some of the questions.

When discussing computer security we address passwords. Click here for a guide on creating a secure password. Come October 4th to the Denver DataMan Digital Street Smarts class to more about computer security.

The following is the answer to who can open MS Office 2007 files from Microsoft:
"By installing the Compatibility Pack along side of Microsoft Office XP, or Office 2003, you will be able open, edit, save, and create files using the Open XML Formats new to the 2007 Microsoft Office system. Office 2000 users, as well as users of Windows 2000 SP4 and later, can convert Open XML Formats to binary file formats [the pre-office 2007 file format] from within Windows Explorer." Click here to download compatibility pack directly form Microsoft.

For more information on the World Community Grid go to http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ and download the software. If you download the software join the Denver DataMan team. Denver DataMan provides free World Community Grid Support to clients.

After the main Ask the DataMan session some of us spoke about a website called Jott.com that lets you send yourself and others email by calling into their system speaking your message. This is a great tool when your out and about.

I hope everyone who attended had a great time!

Peace,
Steve
