       Windows NT* Technical Article
              26 October 1998
         Hello From the Tech Chair
We want to write on subjects that you find useful.  To help us, please
reply
if you find this article to be helpful.  You don't have to write anything
but it is okay if you do; suggestions are always welcome.
Free up more memory
Sometimes I get so involved with supporting someone's system that the
inside
of my head becomes cube shaped.  For instance, you work with your attention
so focussed that time disappears and you've been sitting for hours.  I have
a tip on getting refreshed after that happens.  I go outside for a walk.
Simple isn't it?  I look at trees, birds, cars, people, mountains and
anything that is not square or cube shaped.  I try to take five or ten
minutes every two hours or so and the result is that I can work more
efficiently and faster.  I have been known to do it even more frequently
when my attention has been consumed to the point of saturation.  This
refreshes much like a computer does on a reboot.  It disconnects some
threads of attention and closes some unused programs so that the new job
I'm
currently doing has the resources and memory available to perform cleanly.
I also find that taking my attention off of some problems I have been
over-focussing on allows the solution to pop up.  It's more than just a
theory.
Thanks!
I am so appreciative of your responses!  I am delighted that you read and
contribute back to these articles.  I have started a list for those that
want the Windows NT 5.0 installation play-by-play and another for the
discount books when the deal is set up.  Please send an email with the list
you want to be on in the Subject field.  You will need to do one for each
if
you want both please.  There are now about 200,000 of you and one of me!
I'm having fun! There is another category you may want and that is MCSE
data.  I am finishing up several sets of books and self-study courses in
the
next few months to give you the best resource.  Send your list requests
directly to me here at 
rca...@executive.com
.  (You may wonder how I have
the
time to do this and support Diskeeper and Undelete.  The answer is very
simple.  They do not require much support and I decided to use the time to
share data that would help.)
I received a lot of replies on the "P's and Q's" story, including several
different derivations.  It's been a real trip into our past.  It goes to
show that there is usually more than one derivation to a word or phrase.  I
happened to choose what I considered the more colorful derivation of the
phrase and you decided to enlighten me to the others.  I thank you for the
entertainment.  Here are some of them.
Roger,
   I hate to correct you on this, but that is not how the phrase
originated.
You are right, it did come into use a few hundred years ago, but under a
different circumstance.  School children had a hard time differentiating
their Ps and Qs when it came to writing and reading (have you ever seen Old
English?).  Therefore, the teacher would always say "mind your Ps and Qs."
Roger:
I enjoyed your interesting article.  Your anecdote about P's & Q's was a
nice eye-catching technique.  I had previously heard this story with a
different twist.  Rather than bartenders it was British naval officers
addressing their men prior to shore leave.  I would be interested in the
reference book you extracted this piece of trivia from.
Well, there were also about 150 that pointed to the phrase used for
typesetters to be sure to carefully distinguish between the two letters.
Thanks to all!
I am collecting more reference books and encyclopedias to help us all clear
up the definitions of old and new computer terms.  As they arrive I will
relay the best to you.  They are a little slow in coming because it is a
massive undertaking for the authors to keep up with the new technology. 
The
latest data is going to be found on the Internet of course.
Windows NT 4.0 Tips:
If your Windows NT Server or Workstation has RAS (Remote Access Service)
installed but you don't use it, disable it to free up resources and get a
little more speed.  Open Control Panel/Services and highlight the RAS
service and choose STOP from the list on the right.  Next double-click on
the item itself and in the new window select Disable.  A note about doing
this is to make sure you do not randomly choose just any service to disable
because you may not be able to get your system to function.  I will provide
a list of services that must be there in the future when I can do the
research or you could save me some time and send it to me so I could verify
it.
Windows NT 5.0 Tips:
As with all data anyone or I give about Windows NT 5.0, remember that only
BETA copies are available and until its final release nothing is engraved
in
stone.
First to remember is that the minimum CPU requirement is Pentium 166 and to
take advantage of all the features, Pentium II.  On multi-boot systems you
could set the desired OS to boot in Windows NT 4.0 by:
1. Right-clicking on My Computer
2. Choosing Properties from the menu.
The first tab at the top left of the next window is Startup/Shutdown but in
Windows NT 5.0 you choose Advanced, which is the far right tab.  Inside
here
are three buttons and that's where you will find your Startup and Recovery
options.
Book Review:
Title: Tuning & Sizing NT Server
Author: Curt Aubley
Publisher: Prentice Hall
ISBN: 0-13-095388-1
Price: $49.95
http://www.tuningandsizingnt.com/
This is a tightly packed book of 400 pages.  In it Mr. Aubley (I use Mr.
because I am in awe of his knowledge and ability to communicate this data)
provides tools and techniques to monitor and test Windows NT Server 4.0
performance.  He gives understandable directions for their use and what you
will gain with the data.  He includes tips and "Rules of Thumb" to watch
for
in administration.  His walkthrough of the built-in tools and what their
output means to you is superlative.  His explanations are enhanced by
graphical representations of several different output graphs, so you don't
always need to be at a computer while you use the book.  The CD-ROM
included
has many tools and shareware.  To install them you must of course have
Windows NT Server 4.0 loaded.  The best value is the CBT (Computer Based
Training) Course WinNT 4.0: Advanced Troubleshooting and Optimization.  If
you can take the time, this tutorial will put you ahead of where you are
now, and controlling your server will be an easier task.  This book is a
good value.
The demise of Windows Pro Magazine
I recently encouraged you to subscribe to Windows Pro magazine. That
magazine is gone.  After only two issues, Ziff Davis discontinued Windows
Pro, along with some other publications.  This was apparently part of a
corporate belt tightening move following a severe drop in Ziff Davis share
price (symbol: ZD). After reaching a high of $19.00 per share earlier in
the
year the shares briefly dropped below $4.00 in October. Too bad--it was a
good magazine, and I liked it.
Thanks,
Roger Capps
