How to beat the cyberbullies. Jonny Evans.
Another informative, six-page article from PC Advisor on the subject of online intimidation and bulling.
(Taken from the article)
Violence among teenagers may be grabbing the headlines, but for many concerned with child protection it's virtual aggression that's the biggest emerging threat.
Cyberbullies use mobile phones or emails to send sexist, homophobic and racist messages, or they attack other differences - from physical and mental disabilities to victims' cultural or religious background, appearance, wealth or class. In some cases, bullies physically assault other children, then post images of fights online or distribute video recordings using text messages. How to beat the cyberbullies News - PC Advisor
PC Advisor has been a standard repository of all things PC (ish) for me over several years and I really like getting their emails, as they are usually very helpful.

How to downgrade from Vista to XP News - PC Advisor
Glad to find someone as reliable as PC Advisor magazine are offering tips on how to revert from Windows Vista to Windows XP, as a laptop is rapidly becoming a necessity for me rather than a luxury. (And I got to get out of the house some how!)
As I am not too keen having Vista as my OS, it would have to be either a XP or Linux platform, unlikely to find a new manufacturer offering those options soon.
I like the way my system works, using Virtual computers running under Windows XP and I don't want to change it for features I am unlikely to need or want, so to be able to revert would make the switch a bit less of a nightmare!!!
PC Advisor is one of my first ports of call if I get any PC problems and I have found their forums informative and accurate over the five years I have been a reader and user of their magazines and websites.
