Syncing your data on multiple machines

Setting up email in Outlook Express (POP)
Thanks to some old programs, some users are still using Windows XP even after the release of Windows 7. So here is a tutorial for setting up your pop e-mail in Outlook Express.
Setting up email in Outlook 2003 (POP)
Open Outlook. Since Micro$oft assumes that you have purchased Office 2003, (I hope you have) in thanksgiving it shows you an additional two screens of blah.

Setting up an HP Network Laser with a dynamic IP address on Windows
This is a continuation or rather a subset of my previous two posts on HP Network Lasers.

Often I need just 5 minutes to download mail from my 4 different email accounts. then I can move to another system and work offline at leisure and send the mail later again in 5 minutes or less! It is nice for a change to travel light! I can carry more of my photography equipment now
