Office 2010: The Movie

“Word.” 

 

This is a hilarious video promo for the new Microsoft Office 2010. We see the grave of Clippy(1997-2004) the annoying office helper. A rogue font has been released over the Internet and Clippy’s old partner must get over his loss to help fight this new threat.

 

Microsoft has struggled to get people to switch from previous Office versions to the newer Office 2007 version. 2007 featured the newer “ribbon” interface. I do have this version and it does take a little getting used to.  I took a computer class last fall which used Office 2003. I had to figure out how to do 2003 stuff on 2007 with the new interface. I loved the “Word” hand sign. Enjoy the video.

Tip of the Day - Gmail as default mail

I just started using Gmail (from Google)relative recently in just the last few month's. I'm still a die hard Yahoo Mail user(which I've had for years) . So I've gotten you used to using web based mail accounts that I don't even use Outlook or Thunderbird for a mail. Trouble is when you go to click on an email link(mailto) to send a greeting to your favorite blogger, it doesn't use your web based email as default. Google(Gmail) seems to have come up with a solution. Check out this page from Google on how set it up. Then your good to go. How did I find this? From the PC Daily Tips by the same people who bring you PC Mechanic (One of my favorite websites). Be sure and pay them a visit. Thanks for coming by.
