Hi.
In regard of Storage Area Networking, what is the exact difference between a group and a pool? Is either one a subdivision of the other, and what are the purpose and properties of each? These two terms in SAN literature do always confound me.
Thanks to everyone. Rocketshiporion♫ 02:00, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I have a problem that I need to be fixed as soon as possible. I'm trying to send a Newsletter using Microsoft Publisher 2003, is there a way using my Gmail account that I can send to be a read-only file? It seems like it won't let me do anything without an Outlook account (not a big fan of outlook). Thanks. Moptopstyle1 ( talk) 05:51, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
So, you're saying I have to get a new printer? oh joy. Moptopstyle1 ( talk) 20:31, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
OH! I'm such a dork, I read through the first response and realized that I was wrong saying that "I needed a new printer", okay, I'll try downloading the file. THANK YOU SO MUCH! you do not know how much this helps, this takes SO much stress away! THANK YOU THANK YOU! I will reply if the converter works. Moptopstyle1 ( talk) 03:43, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
"Do not look for any application to run. Just print your document using CutePDF Writer (the printer) to get PDF output. 1. Open your original document and select Print command in File menu of your application to bring up Print dialog box. 2. Then select CutePDF Writer as the Printer to print (DO NOT select "Print to file" option). 3. You will get a Save As dialog box prompted for saving created PDF file. 4. Select a folder to Save in and enter a File name, then click on Save. Go to that folder to find your PDF file."
Option "3" did not happen. is there anything else I can try? Thanks. Moptopstyle1 ( talk) 04:25, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello,
I'm wondering about the best way to run commands on one Windows computer from another Windows computer connected to it (and also how the two computers should actually be connected and configured). To be more specific, I have two computers running Windows XP and I'd like one of them ("computer A") to be able to run commands on the other ("computer B") as if the commands were entered in the command prompt on computer B. Currently, the computers aren't connected (physically or otherwise).
What's (typically) the best way of setting this up? Apparently there's a program called PsExec available to download from Microsoft that allows this, but it looks like it might require the computer issuing the commands to be running Windows Server. If so, what other (preferably free) options are available? Additionally, can I just connect the two computers directly with an Ethernet cable (assuming they're not already on the same network) and adjust their IP protocol settings appropriately or are there additional settings in Windows or specialized versions of Windows (e.g. Windows Server) that are required for this to work?
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

What exactly was the connection between these two things? The BBC micro had a "teletext mode" (mode 7), and teletext pages always looked as if they had been designed using it. I know of no other computer with this particular screen mode. So:

I highly doubt they used an actual acorn computer for broadcasting Teletext. Most likely they used an emulator or modern program that simulated the old one.

I'm trying to configure this laptop to connect to the Internet via conventional methods, but it connects only with a WAN miniport (it won't seem to connect to anything other than dial-up). Is there any way I can set it to connect with a LAN or wirelessly? I'm not too sure if it can do the latter, since it seems to show no signs of wifi capability. 24.189.87.160 ( talk) 19:48, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
In greasemonkey, how can I make some text display on any page. Similar to the php echo function. I tried
document.writeln("Hello");
but nothing is displayed. 82.44.55.25 ( talk) 20:12, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
I use Microsoft Expression Web to maintain a couple of websites. I've just come across the Data View feature which allows you to access XML databases (it generates XSLT). There seems to be a feature allowing you to format numeric values eg as currency, but what I need is the ability to format dates, as one of the potential applications is to present a list of future events. Can anyone suggest a way to do this (without constructing XSLT by hand)? Thanks -- rossb ( talk) 22:28, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
I recall simple databases from many years ago, in the days of CP/M. You would be able to define the fields on a virtual "index card", fill them with data with each virtual card being one entity, and then search through the fields. Is there anything available like that now please? I have tried to find one and been unable. I do not have the time or patience to learn anything complicated or non-intuitive or anything that involves programming. Thanks 92.15.7.75 ( talk) 22:35, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
