The problem is with gmail not TCH. If you host a site here you get unlimited email accounts with your hosted account, this email is using the email servers of TCH. You are using a third party email service and you are at their mercy. I'll back out now and let someone at TCH answer your pre-sales question.

Since SPF is new I would assume TCH is looking at it and will implement it when they and if they feel its necessary. The users hosting here will not have to worry about adding records since it would be done for them.

Hi Ninepatch, I have been purchasing HP/Compaq for years at both work and home and I have always been happy with them. I have a Pavilion 3.06 GHz on my desk and my youngest is still using my old 850MHz and there is a 133Mhz in the back room that still runs. But lately I have switched over to Emachines because of the price. They make a good low-mid range PC with a price tag that can't be beat. I have gotten at least 6 of them the last 2 years for friends and family and have had no problems. For mid-range to high-end PC's I would still go with HP/Compaq.

When I run a traceroute on their IP(66.36.231.135) on Superb.net I get 1 10.1.9.2 (10.1.9.2) 0.523 ms 69.321 ms 1.398 ms 2 66.132.255.17 (66.132.255.17) 0.481 ms 0.404 ms 0.389 ms 3 miamfl2wcx2-gige11-0.wcg.net (64.200.118.61) 1.004 ms 0.914 ms 0.848 ms 4 miamfl2wcx3-oc48.wcg.net (64.200.119.74) 0.941 ms 1.278 ms 0.837 ms 5 drvlga1wcx1-pos5-0-oc48.wcg.net (64.200.240.18) 14.163 ms 14.169 ms 14.198 ms 6 drvlga1wcx2-oc48.wcg.net (64.200.127.50) 14.260 ms 14.240 ms 14.246 ms 7 hrndva1wcx3-pos14-0-oc192.wcg.net (64.200.210.238) 25.388 ms 25.468 ms 25.414 ms 8 washdc5lcx1-pos3-0.wcg.net (64.200.89.94) 26.138 ms 26.038 ms 25.979 ms 9 so-0-0-0.edge2.Washington1.Level3.net (4.68.127.25) 28.789 ms 28.777 ms 28.768 ms 10 so-1-1-0.bbr1.Washington1.Level3.net (64.159.3.61) 30.072 ms 30.147 ms so-1-1-0.bbr2.Washington1.Level3.net (64.159.3.65) 30.158 ms 11 ge-9-1.ipcolo1.Washington1.Level3.net (4.68.121.107) 30.103 ms ge-9-2.ipcolo1.Washington1.Level3.net (4.68.121.171) 30.119 ms ge-9-0.ipcolo1.Washington1.Level3.net (4.68.121.43) 30.096 ms 12 * * * 13 * * * 14 * * * 15 * Looks like routing issues at level3.

You are correct about Powerpoint, it will not open a new program window for a second file. They will both run in the same program window and you can toggle back and forth but this will not work the way Vi wants. The delivery program(s) has not been discussed and will need to be researched ... thats getting to be my favorite phrase lately But there are probably several different ways this can be accomplished. Some programs will open up separate windows and some won't. One that does can be used or two different slideshow programs need to be used. This is a minor issue in my opinion and can wait till later. And this also depends on whether she decides to use one computer with two monitors. It looks like she is heading toward the Large rear projection and DVD player.

Did you write this correctly? Your "ISP" is your Internet Service Provider and if you drop it you will also drop your connection to the Internet. TCH provides web hosting and email but does not provide you with any access to the Internet. So before you drop your ISP for TCH make sure you have another way to get Internet connectivity.

Vi, your best bet at this point is to have a fact finding mission. Collect all your concerns and questions you had here and I'm sure there are others you have and take a trip down to Best Buys or some other store. Browse around and start looking at the equipment and as soon as a salesman asks if he can help pull out your list. BUT...do not jump right in and buy anything yet. This is strictly research and you always find better an cheaper things as you learn more about what you are trying to do. ALSO, do not accept what every salesman tells you as fact, verify this by asking several people and see if you get the same answers. Try and see if there is a way to view these monitors in a sunny location. The stores will have their Best monitors back in the back of the store in a dark area to get the best looking picture out of them to make sales. Good luck. Yes

Now that is really kewl Dick and would probably draw a big crowd.

Sorry, it was at Best Buy, I somehow deleted the link from my post. h_tp://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?j=1&id=1087341905175&skuId=6753523&productCategoryId=cat03006&type=product The size is called resolution and is probably one of the things you need to research. Basically its the number of pixels horizontally and vertically. A pixel is a "dot" on a picture or monitor. This is a very complicated subject and sometimes hard to understand. Clearer pictures are produced by squeezing more pixels closer together in a smaller area. But you want a BIG area so you need a higher resolution to get the best picture...but getting that is sometimes the difficult part because technology and costs limit what is possible. I believe this could work with either option and the cost and simplicity will be part of your research I don't know. Add to your research list.

Couple things I found. $1,139 - GE 52" Widescreen HD-Ready Rear-Projection CRT and if you want to use the computer AND display it on a large TV like above you need to purchase a converter. Computer to TV converter: h_tp://www.aver.com/products/comptv.shtml

youneverknow has a good point and something that will need to be part of your "research". One of my many volunteer activities is being the "Datamanager" for my kids various swim teams. I run the computer that collects all the times for the meets my kids swim in, most cases these are outdoor meets. I am always looking for the best spot with the most shade to place my equipment where I can see what I am doing on the monitor. Sunny days may be great for everyone but the darker and cloudier it is the better my picture is. There is also a difference looking at a CRT or a plasma screen...not sure about projection but I know at my job they painted the walls and ceilings black and put in low wattage bulbs with reostates to lower the brightness to make our viewing of our monitors and the projection screens a lot easier.

I see LNH, Inc h_tp://www.hostmysite.com/termsofservice/ oops, mike beat me too it...

You can do it with one computer. You can run two monitors in Windows and show a different program on each one...or the same program. See the link below. h_tp://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,,1674408,00.asp

\ Think outside the box. The projectors get mounted in a box on the ceiling. This is what we have at my work but these are front projection systems not rear projection which is what you will probably need. I wouldn't call anyone an idiot, just because you don't know anything about the subject doesn't mean you are one. The will to learn means you are intelligent and will never be one. So, there maybe several ways to accomplish what you are trying here and you just need a little research, some suggestions and a lot of time to an energy. A projection system is one suggestion, Large TV's or monitor's another. The TV/monitor solution maybe the solution you need because of your space limitations, but may not work because of cost constraints. Projection maybe the solution because of the opposite, cost is more acceptable but space is a stopper. The projection system might be accomplished in different ways. You could have the Computer running a program (Powerpoint for instance) and this would be displayed on a screen using the projector. Or you could get a DVD player and play this with a projector after burning your "show" from a computer. The TV/monitor would work in a similar way, either a computer or DVD player. I think with this info you can start with a search engine and start reading about these monitors or projectors. You may also want to look up the companies that will do this work for you. It may cost more but it will save you a lot of trial and error and work. These companies have already done all the reseach and would know what would work best for your particular project. Good luck, BoB

Vi, computer monitors or large TV's will be very expensive. I would suggest you look into projection system, maybe even rental of the systems which will be cheaper if its a temporary setup.

Woah. I am not TCH but that sounds more like you need Enterprise hosting. But like Lisa says your best bet is to talk with sales to get the final word.

So if it lets the sun through I should buy sunglasses to see what I can see?

Sorry but I don't purchase video cards or know which would be best for you. Hopefully someone else will come along with a good choice for you. What I would suggest you do is a little reseach into what type slots you have available in your computer so you can purchase the correct one. h_tp://www.pctechguide.com/tutorials/GraphicsCard_Remove.htm In the above URL is a picture of an AGP and a PCI slot, the AGP is usually shorter and brown. I would take a wild guess and say you have a AGP card and only have PCI slots in your PC.

Your video card is available in both AGP and PCI bus so you need to be sure you are putting it in the correct slot. If the metal connectors are not lining up as you have mention then you are using the wrong slot. You may have purchased the wrong type and w3ill need to exchange it, or find the correct slot to use.

oops, thanks Mike, I blew right by that fact. Guess I better pay attention to my monitoring and leave the notes here alone

I would recommend Adaware and SpyBot, which are free. h_tp://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html h_tp://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

From What I hear there is a major backbone outage at Level 3 and is affecting the eastern US. Get ready for lots of these problems

Could be a number of things. A bad spot on the disk, an error while trying to write the data...sun spots Its hardware and computer hardware has issues on a regular basis.

I didn't read the article yet but my first thought is "do I want google to know and index whats on my hard drive?"... "and then share it?

If you are running short you can easily upgrade your plan to the next level or purchase extra diskspace at $1.75 per 100MB. Just submit a help desk ticket, link is at the top of this page.
