"I have an extensive collection of vinyl LPs. What's the best way to digitize them to MP3 or direct to CD-ROM?"
ANSWERED Oct. 10th - Digitizing vinyl records can be accomplished with a USB turntable and an open source program, called
Audacity. Prices vary, but USB turntables can be purchased from online vendors, such as
USBTurnables.net and
ThinkGeek.com.

"I recently installed Microsoft Security Essentials, which just came out of beta and got good reviews. Now, I want to uninstall it, because it slows down my netbook, but the Add/Remove Programs control panel just sits there. It doesn't list the installed software. Help!"
ANSWERED Oct. 10th - I checked the
Security Essentials Support Site. Microsoft recommends uninstalling/re-installing
Security Essentials by typing
appwiz.cpl in
Start Menu -> Run with computers running Windows XP or searching for
appwiz.cpl, then pressing ENTER with PCs running Windows Vista or Windows 7. This launches the Application Wizard control panel, but not in the usual way. It appears there's a conflict. If all else fails, try using the Uninstaller Tool in
CCleaner, a popular freeware utility, to uninstall Microsoft Security Essentials and restore operation of the Add/Remove Programs control panel back to normal.
