    Classic Tip: Control how programs start with batch files

    When using batch files, you sometimes may want a program to start minimized or full screen. This classic tip from 2000 shows how you used to do it in Windows 9x and how little things have changed.

    Y2K: The New Year’s disaster that never happened

    Configuring and administering IIS 7.0

    Windows Server 2008 has introduced a number of significant changes from Windows Server 2003, and IIS 7.0 is a prime example. Not only has IIS's architecture changed considerably in IIS 7.0, but the management interface is also completely revamped. That said, to maintain a level of backward compatibility with IIS 6.0, the IIS role in Windows Server 2008 includes the IIS 6.0 management console, but that is not the focus here. This gallery shows some of the common screens you'll encounter while administering and configuring IIS 7.0.

    1950’s IT without tailfins and leather jackets

    Usually when talking computer classics, I stick to computers from the 70's, 80's and 90's. This video from IBM shows a state of the art accounting computer from the 1950's. See how far we've come.
