Skunks, I have quite a bit of stuff printed on A4 papers and I need to have them scanned compressed and saved in a way that would enable easy retrieval. Any ideas on how to go about it. I have tried several scanning options but the sizes are not small enough to sustain. regards, James

by Claire Njoki 24 Dec '10

I am just wondering...are there any people on this list who use Yu and if so, how is the data service? Also how is the customer service, quality of service, etc...Basically, how is Yu in general? I they are good, on April 1st 2011, I might just switch to them once number portability is enabled... ...they seem like the underdog and I admire underdogs...they try harder. Claire.

by Claire Njoki 24 Dec '10

24 Dec '10

Hi Nocturnal Skunkers, I have just heard a song on the radio and I have googled and checked on p2p networks without success...If you have it on CD please rip it and email it to me...if you already have the mp3 please email it... ...please please please email it to me. It goes something like: "ningekuwa telephone operator nigekununulia bamba 50...." "ningekuwa dereva wa city hopper hata kileleshwa tungezuru...." "I am a simple man, I dream about loving you And my simple mind is filled with thoughts of you, you will be mine Someday..." One search result on google shows that it might be by Atemi and Adwar since it is a duet... Please...inbox me the mp3...please Claire.

Android Apps Marketplace
by Kevin Ouma 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

I purchased an Android Huawei V845 from a Safaricom Outlet. However just noticed that it does not have the android apps marketplace installed on it. My question is how can I install it manually from the net and transfer to my phone. Is there an appropriate Android PC Suite App similar to Nokia Ovi suite ? Rgds Kevin

How To: Avoid tagging those short speaker wires all over your house
by Dennis Kioko 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Got a Sony Ericsson MW600 Hifi headset, a pretty cool bluetooth audio device. Cool thing is that you can pair it with most phones, a computer or even a gaming device. It also comes with FM radio . Set this thing up with your comp and invite guests to your house. Place your laptop in such a position that they confirm there is no audio out, and let them wonder in awe. For better effects, couple this with a wireless mouse...

When are we likely to see computers with an architecture higher than 64-bit or are stuck at 64-bit for the foreseeable future? Just imagining. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!
