I hope I got it right If not, let me know and I will edit it for you It takes ten posts for members to be able to post live links.

There are insurance agencies here vying with each other. Their advertising is the best though. The promises they are not the same as the ones they keep, and of course, there's the whole "we're so much better than company c".

The best way for me, I guess, is to listen to what people say, and listen to their experiences. I would much rather listen to another person sitting in front of me, than someone scripted into an advert. Most days, the opinions of friends around me help me make decisions.

I spent some time reading through the thread, and you took the change really well. You were strong and stubborn, and you didn't give up. Hopefully one day I can have that same resolve when its my turn to kick the habit.

Congrats on making it this far, and I hope that you never smoke again

Out of them all Jing is about the least expensive, with options to save the vid, upload it to screencast (techsmith's own site and tis free). With camtasia, you only get a 30 day trial unless you buy the video editor itself, but all in all, if you create a lot of vids, then 'tis a good idea to invest in. lol I'm not affiliated with them, but I have tried so many other editing software out there, even vegas, and none of them come close to what camtasia can do. The software isn't that expensive either tbh, tis about 2 or 300 dollars, so probably a fraction of the cost of an Adobe product (premiere)


I think so. Especially if you're still learning about how to do it all. I'm quite handy at making tutorials and such, but it was a lot of playing and reading lol. I would still recommend the camtasia trial. Its the easiest to work with because its interface is simple to navigate and use.

(will stop now before I'm banned lol.)

I can get by without a lot of the apps I see in iTunes, most of them you spend more time working on them, than it could have taken you to do it yourself. It's probably because you can "do it on an iPhone" that it makes people want to use the apps so much. Which is probably why app development is kinda lucrative. I went to my local China Mall yesterday, and came away with a nifty little pouch gadget for my iPhone. It was a phone pouch in 2 pieces. One is a "case" for the iPhone, and the other is the clip it slides into. Which also doubles up as a stand of sorts. Was walking around all day with it on my hip, and this morning its standing on my desk.

lol I love motherboard shopping tbh, which is why I asked about gigabyte boards. I have an ASRock Micro ATX at the moment. Only thing is that it usually leads to a CPU upgrade . My latest PC was finally upgraded to DDR 3 RAM, but, unfortunately with the price the setup cost, I had to make do with a single core CPU. I would love to go quad, but I would need to sort out the cooling system on my desktop methinks. I have about 4 strong fans running at the moment (with their luminous blue LED's lol), but you need something decent to run a quad core, and I will never really consider water cooling. My rig basically only needs 3 more things now. A dual core chip, 2 or more Gigs RAM, and a 2 Gig Graphics Card. I can get the card at about a thousand bucks, the CPU for around the same, and RAM for about 1/4 of that price (Hynix I think it is). Then I will be happy.

lol reviews are awesome, but makes for a lot of wishful thinking sometimes

Especially when people think you'll never be able to do it. My lab desk was a mass of parts and "skeletons", and from that one think pad was born. Tis rewarding to know that you can bring a piece of technology to life and tis useful somehow. I still can't find any P3 processors though, and I guess by this time I never will. Plus, my windows 3.1 floppies have mysteriously disappeared lol.

I guess you could buy a PC, and have it as close to the specs you want it at, but building a pc to the exact specs you want, to me is better.

'Tis good to know At the moment, my iphone is a bit of a white elephant. I use the apps quite a bit when I'm not in front of my PC, but videos I prefer watching on my PC. Even DVD's. I have better sound on my PC than my TV lol.

I prefer camtasia though when I create vids. I tried camstudio and a host of other programs. Isn't the file size from camstudio rather large? Techsmith's Jing is also good as well. Plus you get unlimited five minute vids for free. I've added tutorials on Youtube before, and we got a few watches and the like, was just not aware that you could actually use adsense on them, so that would be really interesting for future vids.

lol that's not really fair
