microtype

Overall I think Microtype is a very effective program for helping me learn to type correctly at a decent speed without looking at the keyboard.

I would have made the progam a little shorter. Some of the lessons are just repetitive and don't actually help you adequatley, so I would remove that.

My average is about 70 wpms.

vista blog

-Microsoft Vista is a brand new operating system that introduces breakthrough computing experiences and will positively change the ways in which you use your computer. Now you can more effectively organize and find information. Now you can easily see your files and applications so that you can focus on your task.

-I doubt that many people will pay a great deal considering it is only an upgrade. Even though people are looking for bigger and better things in technology everyday, most Americans won't spend too much money on Vista if they already have a microsoft operating system.

-I wouldn't buy it only because I am not a major computer user; however, if I was the I would get it in a New York minute because I am sick of windows xp and how it has more crashes than US 1 during rush hour.

youtube.com

Youtube.com is a popular free video sharing website which lets users upload, view and share video clips. It was purchased by three employess of PayPal in order to display video. I think it is worth the 1.65 billion dolars because people from all over the world use it for all sorts of purposes and it will eventually earn enought profit to pay it all back.
