<br />
i thought someone might have hacked my e-mail account, so i researched on it and found out that there is nothing to be worried about if<br />
** you check your " sent mails " folder and it doesnt indicate you sent such mail to yourself<br />
<br />
and that spammers user a special software or so to make it look like you sent yourself that mail ,<br />
if you receive such mail , simply delete it to be on the safer side ;-)Richardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12830316871638041489noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881633548869012700.post-29412046619286477752012-07-08T05:28:00.000-07:002012-07-08T06:10:04.015-07:00Cloud Storagei've been searching the internet for sometime now , to find the best file hosting site with an " easy on the eye" feature / look and so far i have been impressed with <b><a href="http://www.opendrive.com/" target="_blank">OPENDRIVE</a></b> , i urge you all to try it out .<br />
<br />
When i talk about FILE HOSTING , it simply means storing your files over the internet for later retrieval ,<br />
"why should i store my files over the internet ?" you might ask , well one big advantage is , in case your computer or hard disk crashes , your files wouldn't be lost forever ,<br />
<br />
Do try <a href="http://www.opendrive.com/" target="_blank">OPENDRIVE</a> out and give me feedback<br />

An example of <b><span style="color: blue;">GUI</span></b> software is <span style="color: blue;">Microsoft Windows XP</span> where u can click icons<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">CLI</span></b> on the other hand is operated by text or should i say with mainly the use of a keyboard ... An example of <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">CLI</span></b> software is <span style="color: #cc0000;">Microsoft DOS ( MS DOS )</span>.<br />
