The Desktop is not for Long-term Storage
I love to store files on my Desktop ... and for good reason: its always infront of me and its easily accessible. The purpose of the Desktop is for storing "stuff" but its real purpose is for TEMPORARY stuff. Just like your real desk (the one that you are sitting at right now), objects move positions: coffee cups get thrown away (hopefully!), manilla folders and papers get filed away, etc. Your computer desktop should be no different. Files and folders on your computer desktop should …

How to search for special characters in Excel
Here's a problem I had - I used the * (asterisk) in certain cells that contained notes. Later I needed to search for all of the cells that had the *. The problem is that the asterisk is a special wildcard character and the result of using it in Find returned all the cells of the spreadsheet. The answer is in a Microsoft Help and Support article: Article ID: 214138 - preceed the special character with a tilde (~). I used this …

Sending text messages from your email inbox
A pretty handy trick to send those addicting text messages without having to whip out your phone or PDA, is to simply send the text message as an email to your recipient of choice. Just use the following addresses in the "To:" box. <10 digit number>@vtext.com (for Verizon Wireless customers) <10 digit number>@txt.att.net (for AT&T / Cingular customers) An added benefit is that if the recipient replies to your text message from their phone, you will get an email of that text …

Basic Keyboard Shortcuts for the Rest of Us
Point. Click. Move. Repeat. The mouse is, without a doubt, one of the most iconic symbols of the modern computing age. It allows us to move freely around the computer environment with simple and intuitive movements. But use the mouse for any kind of labor intensive work, and you'll quickly see how annoying our multi-buttoned little plastic pet becomes. The mouse is great for selecting a group of things on the desktop and dragging them into another folder. It's great for …

its been a long road, but we're finally nearing the end of a great journey. Yes, the new SCS website will finally launch during the last week of February and incorporates some great new features such as a blog, an updated and redesigned portfolio of work.
In Their Own Words…
Our clients are saying:
A few years ago, we were being strangled in our patchwork "network" of computers, phones, scanners, "PDAs" and servers. We reached out to Superior Computer Services and now, a relatively short time later, our fully integrated network has allowed us to produce and access our work products, both on site and virtually anywhere on the globe, to a degree that is the envy of many of our colleagues (and competitors).
