  1. Re:paper in your wallet on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    I found a nice free tool for this called PINS 4 by Mirek Wojtowicz. I Wrote about it here http://opensourceitdad.blogspot.com/

    I keep the program and the data file on my PC and the thumbdrive. Its easy to use, Ctrl-F find the URL, CTRL-H launch the default browser, CTRL-Y paste the login ID and PW into the web page.

    The only thing I wish it would do that it doesn't is to know which sites need IE so I can have Ctrl-H launch the browser needed for the site.

  2. Re:Printers? File storage? on In-Home Wireless Vs. Mobile Broadband · · Score: 1

    A device that I find VERY useful is the Kyocera KR1 Router. I use it with a Sprint EVDO card when I am at home. The KR1 allows more than one user to surf the web using the Sprint Card, by supplying WiFi and 4 Wired connections as well as firewalling. It would be a good solution for traveling couples too so that two or more laptops can share a single EVDO card/monthly fee.

    It is aslo a very useful device for trade shows where multiple computers need to access the internet. Add a High Gain antenna to the Sprint EVDO card and you can extend/improve the connectivity by a few bars. It works quite well for casual surfing, almost good enough that I am considering dumping the DSL line.
