Survival Kit!


© Brian Hughes

In the spirit of "Offering Help in Times of Need," I've put together a list of essential programs. Rather than make any attempt to protect my sources I'll gladly let it all hang out. Nor will I apologise for the graphic nature of some of the material. Just maybe this list will be useful to the likes of Presidents, heads of state or other persons in high places... in grave danger of falling from grace.


Whilst you're still feeling good about yourself and the world is a happy place, replace that boring old Start button flag with a happy face!!


Memory not what it should be?...Forgetting too many important things? Make sure all those times, places, appointments and most important Dates never pass you by.


A graphical word processor that lets you create imaginative and inspiring documents. Believe me, the authors' very own words!


Even if the words don't come out correctly or the meaning is misunderstood... at least get the spelling right.


We all need some of this from time to time. Some files and e-mails must be kept secret... it could get embarrassing.


Image is everything. A good photograph is better than a thousand words. Sounds can be effective too. See it all, hear it all. Warning: this is very graphic.


What is all this talk about background... particularly the deep stuff? There's that word again...graphic!


The name alone would get this one on the list. Video on the Internet. Enough said?


When it absolutely, positively has to go.


Since everything is busy going down the toilet, you may as well change your Recycle bin to look like one!!


Useful for those situations where election / re-election to public office is impossible or inadvisable. Many great works of fiction have started here.


Well... life does have to go on ... right?

If anyone out there is in urgent need of any or all of the above go right ahead - push the buttons! They won't start WW III but they will take you to some interesting places. I would be grateful for any feedback and if required confidentiality will be respected.

Once I've finished chuckling and got my sense of humour back under control, I will return to some of these items and do them more justice.

See you next week
