Here is a neat trick that allows you to extend your 60 day trial period on Server 2008 and probably other Microsoft prodcuts as well. I know it works with Vista too for sure. Anyway all you have to do is open the command prompt and type slmgr.vbs -dli
A windows will pop open giving you the current status of your evaluation period. This is really important because you do not want to run the next script until the end of your 60 day trial period. Now type slmgr.vbs -rearm. Important you can only reset the trial period 3 times, thus allowing you to extend your evaluation period up to 240 days. Hope this helps!
Till later

Auctiva no longer free for the most part
Activa due to ebay's affiliate change in policy has been forced to charge for their services.
Apparently after a mass closing of accounts they changed their new fees. From what I gather on the boards, people were going to end up paying them up to $700.00 after paying listing, image hosting and some other charges. Credit to their CEO he paid attention and fast and changed their fees to a monthly fee depending on how many listings you create/relist per month. So if you have auctiva, hurry up and check it out before you end up paying a large bill for not selecting a plan and get stuck with the default pay per listing fee, when ebay's relists your listing automatically every 30 days.

Recycle your old computer/laptop and help a child
Hello,
I am the owner of Computer Gal's LLC. I have found a need in the rural areas such as lacoochee and Dade City where Students are without computers and there are not any library s close enough for them to walk (most of their parents have no vechicle) to to complete their assignments. Their are also adults that are in need of access to a computer to sign up for government benefits, and look for jobs.
I am looking for a building in the above area so set up a learning center as well as a computer lab for some of the individuals to use. I will also be giving systems to needy families for a either no cost or minimal to cover parts and fuel. We also will be in need of a van to deliver and pick up students and adults to transport them back and forth from the computer lab if necessary.
If you have a vacant building in the above area that you are not using we are willing to paint and such to work off rent until hopefully a government grant is approved to pay rent.
We are asking that anyone that would like to donate or recycle their old systems to please contact us and we will pick up any items that you have.
Businesses/consumers wishing to donate we are hipaa certified and will conpletely erase all information to secure your privacy.
We are completely 100% women and are approved as a minority owned company and will be applying for non profit license (under another business name), but in the mean time we are asking people to please use our Company Computer Gal's LLC which is on the list as a recycle drop off center so we many use those recycable systems to help the rural low income areas as they are in need.
I have over 15 years technology experience, as well as Healthcare Information Technolgoy, Web Design, computer repair, computer training and much more.
Businesses again please consider Computer gal's when upgrading to new systems, as your old systems could be the difference between someone graduation high school.
thank you again.
If you wish you donate any of the above please contact me. sherry@computer-gal.com

Moneybookers is the way to go with ebay after paypal 21 day hold announced
- Want to break up the monopoloy? Moneybookers is now an autorized payment service for ebay buyers and sellers.
Ebay/Paypal announced that they would be holding the sellers money for 21 days or until the buyer left a positive feedback. WTF, most buyers do not even leave feedback, they just want their product, and are not interested in playing the ebay feedback game. Now sellers will have to get the buyer to please leave them feedback or wait out the 21 days that paypal get to keep your money. Sounds crazy but it is true.
Want out sign up with moneybookers here or if link does not work here is the url https://www.moneybookers.com/app/?rid=11847353
More info about moneybookers below

ebay's policy on acceptable payment methods http://pages.ebay.com/help/pay/methods.html
I read on auctionbytes that after ebay banned money order and checks basically forcing everyone to use their fully owned payment service paypal, that floods of complaints were sent to the attorney generals office.
I guess ebay figured busted, we had better allow some other alternatives, but started with services that were very expensive.
Anywho looks like moneybookers is the way to go for now, but I truly believe ebay is digging it own hole as they are the most untrustworthy company I have seen in a long time with their mandory changes every 30 days or so. Thoughts anyone?

ebay nightmare still not over- Paypal wants to hold your money for 21 days.
Well,
I don't think you guys will believe this, but hopefully you will.
Remember the nutcase that tried to blackmail me (all over not paying me for napster codes after he got the codes) and threaten my life amoung all kinds of over cray sh!T. Well, since I took a couple months off for summer break and so forth. I get an email from paypal stating that there will be a hold of 21 days on all my payments (since I started adding my inventory back on ebay). I have sold well over 1,000 items on ebay with a pretty clean track record until this guy and his friend decide to neg me.
I have ben on ebay for since the year 2000 and did not get my first negative until this year.
People are saying that since a seller cannot leave a negative, buyers are just leaving them for fun, who knows.
Anyway can you belive that you are supposed to wait 21 days after you sold an item to get your money. I mean no way is paypal keeping my money interest free for that amount of time. I am supposed to pay for everything out of pocket, wait 21 days while they collect the interest. Ebay/Payal wake up. The products are not yours, you cannot keep the money. Monolopy is what I smell. Buyers can't even write checks or money orders anymore so most sells will be forced to go through paypal so they can keep it.
Well I guess someone turned them in for something so they did add a couple more payment methods one is moneybrokers. Please sign up with them. Click here and read below for more info.
From my ebay terms
Accepted forms of Payment:
Currently Computer Gal's LLC only accepts Moneybookers and approved alternative to paypal. Moneybookers offers all the same protections of paypal, but they are seperately owned allowing a fair playground for both buyer and seller.
I have copied information from moneybrookers web site for more information on their buyer services.
Whether you are selling products or buying items, Moneybookers is the easy way to complete an online transaction. With Moneybookers your data is secure and protected against identity theft.
