Did you know public speaking is the number one fear of many people? Even more than some things like falling and dying. Really, I’m serious. I have friends who’d rather be thrown into a vat of starved leeches than have to give a talk or presentation. Via Lifehacker here are some tips for better presentations:

Ah the out of office message. Can’t remember when I’ve had to put one of those up. Which isn’t a good sign, really is it? Anyway, sometimes you don’t just want the basic “I’m not here” message to go to everyone. It is possible to be more clever in Outlook (and I gather Gmail), you […]
Diana Huggins who contributes to Lockgnome’s Windows Fanatics blog always seems to have those tips and how tos that people need. Whether it’s watermarks in Word or new lines in Excel cells, Diana has posted them.
Sure, you might think they are simple, if you’ve already spent time trying to figure out how to do it […]
We’ve been complaining, we’ve been trying to do what we can to improve things (including disabling most fun plugins), but Outlook 2007 has been dogged with performance problems since it debuted (actually in complaints started in beta).

It’s not that I ask myself this question all the time, but when I’m setting up computers for folks. I mean often many people really need full-blown MS Office? Yeah, a lot of machines come with MS Works, but its spreadsheet is pretty bad.
