I have been trying to e-mail about 2,000 e-mails to contacts from my Outlook. I send them in batches of 500, but I just received an error from my hosting mail server about a relay limit. Any ideas why?
Most mail servers set an allowable number of e-mail messages to get sent per day from your computer, in order to control outbound spam. Some are set at 250 or 500 messages over a 24-hour period. You're probably receiving the error since you've exceeded this limit. I would recommend that instead of taxing your Outlook and the mail server, to look into an e-mail service provider such as Constant Contact or MailChimp to provide this service. It would go out from a vetted fulfillment center, probably look a bit more professionally formatted, and protect you from getting gray- or blacklisted.

I have an older HDTV that only has two HDMI inputs. With all my newer devices that have HDMI and mini-HDMI outputs, how do I connect them to my set, short of buying a new TV?
A simple solution that has worked for me is to purchase an HDMI switch. It's a box similar to a USB splitter, but larger, and works the same way. The one I use has inputs for three HDMI devices to a single output. The beauty of this device is that it will automatically sense and switch ports to the active feed. This solution effectively doubles my available HDMI ports to my set, but I wouldn't be opposed to a set upgrade, either.
