5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
You can download a Free Quit Smoking Hypnosis session here at the Windows Marketplace. You can download “Stop Smoking - Break the Chains: A Free eBook 1.0” hosted over at Download.com for all versions of Windows. There’s also Quit Counter - a free Windows utility to help quit cigarette smoking. Finally, there’s Smoker’s Calc for Windows which helps you calculate how much you’ll save by quitting smoking, or how much money you’re wasting by continuing. So, what about that RSI prevention software? It’s called “Workrave”, and as David explains, “the premise behind Workrave is that it will alert you to get your hands off the keyboard and your eyes off the monitor on a regular basis.” David says that: “Such actions are very helpful for those who use their computers heavily because it can both prevent, and assist with recovery of, RSI as well as other general pains and ailments caused by long periods of computing particularly over the course of many years.” You can read David’s story for a detailed explanation of how it works, or you can just go to the Workrave site where you can download a Linux version – and far more usefully for the hundreds of millions of Windows users out there – a Windows version, too. And it’s free! So... just as you might not have known you could do this stuff in Linux, I’m sure plenty of people didn’t know you could do it in Windows either. You can! And there’s no need to become some mega-Linux-brainiac to do it, either. Why spend the time you’d waste learning Linux, and then leaning to configure it (or other mind-numbing, boring Linux stuff), when you can spend that time with your children, your partner, reading a book, going for a walk or doing something else? Unless, of course, you really enjoy fiddling with alternate operating systems... but then in that case, you're probably already a Linux user. But if not, remember... Life is short, why in heaven's name would you waste it on Linux, especially if you’re already happy using Windows and getting your computer work done? Windows is a perfectly good OS, you’re already using it, so download some of these programs, and let your computer help you get healthier... today! |
