It is the seemingly small problems that can irritate us the most and take up a disproportionate amount of time to fix, like not being able to open a file because you have the wrong version of the software, or not being able to send a large file by email because of size restrictions. So these tips from Martin Belam will help to calm those frustrations.
What's Inside:
There can nothing more frustrating than when you know, or at least you think you know, that you have the right software to open a file, only for it to resolutely fail to work. But there are tools to help such as OpenOffice and Google Docs. Another frustration is the restrictions sometimes placed on files sizes which can be sent by email. Again help is at hand with services like YouSendIt.
