Microsoft Outlook not saving password any longer
I found this answer at this site: Optimizing your PC So, I haven't tried it or had to use it, but the process seems plausible.
In some cases Outlook doesn't save your password, even if you enable the option to save the password. This error is caused by a malfunctioning of the Protected Storage Space from Windows.

Left hand digital cameras
A caller made us aware of a problem with most digital camera designs. She has a friend who is missing his right hand. Most digital cameras have the shutter release on the right side.
Is there a solution?
Yes. There are a small number of upright digital cameras on the market.
This is a picture of the new Canon TX1. While this camera is a little pricey, there are cameras with similar designs made by Panasonic, Sany and Aiptec.
