I use Azureus most often for recent stuff, but if you want something older, then eMule is the way to go. It's almost unfair putting them both in the same poll, since they have different uses for me.

I figured I'd go ahead and post samples of what I'm talking about. For those of you who know Publisher, but for some reason or another don't have access to it, I've included Adobe PDF versions as well. The names and addresses have been changed to protect the innocent. I think you get the idea: The body of the letter would start about a centimeter below the address information in ltr_primary.xxx, and after a page break (for longer letters), would immediately start on the ltr_secondary.xxx format, about a centimeter below the header... and do so for all pages afterward. I'll really appreciate whatever anyone can suggest. I have eFax, and it would be really nice to send out faxes on this template straight thru eFax online instead of printing it, using the fax machine, and just using eFax to receive replies. Again, thanks in advance! letterheads.rar

I have designed a rather nice letterhead set in Microsoft Publisher 2003 that I would like to be able to use as a template in Microsoft Word. It consists of a decorative front-page letterhead with logo, and a simple letterhead for all subsequent pages. My question for you folks here is this: How can I go about converting these two *.pub (ltr_primary.pub and ltr_secondary.pub) into templates that can be accessed from the "New... Templates >>" menu in MS Word? Preferably in such a way that the first page of the new document would use the primary letterhead, and all subsequent pages automatically use the secondary letterhead. It would sure be nice to have the letterhead ready to print letters on-the-fly instead of having to load my pre-printed letterheads into the printer before each piece of correspondence. I figured that since you guys have solved every computer problem I've had in the past, this should be a simple issue for you to help me with. Thanks in advance!

I've just bought a new 3.5" floppy drive, so I can transfer documents my Dad saves in Word Perfect 5.1 for DOS (apparently lots of people still use that version!) to my computer whenever there's a problem with his computer. It's just easier than having him exit out and send it to my computer over the network, and WPDOS doesn't recognize CDR/DVDR drives... besides those are too slow (lead-in/lead-out) for such small files. All in all, I still think that the floppy is the superior short-term storage method for small files, and it's pretty much universally compatible. Emailing files to myself was usually enough when I had to print term papers on the school printer, but every now and then, I'd get to school to find out that the school network was down, so I would ride back home to put it on a CD-R... that was a pain. I wish I had the wherewithall to put a FDD in my old computers when I was still there.

Okay I just bought a brand new floppy drive today, and had this exact problem... I exchanged the drive and the cable for different brands of each, and it still didn't work. Turned out I simply had the "Drive A" setting in CMOS set to "None" -- all I had to do was change it to the 3.5" 1.44 MB 2HD Floppy Drive setting, and voila, it worked! I hope that piece of advice helps... Also, for some reason, even though the red wire on the MB socket was aligned with those in the IDE sockets, I had to have it on the opposite side in the floppy drive socket (i.e. the red wire was on the board side rather than the door side of the drive instead of vice versa for the IDE drives) -- anyone know what's going on there?
