How to resize an image in Microsoft Paint
Microsoft Paint is a simple graphics editing program
that comes with the Windows operating system. In this
short tip, we'll show you how to quickly and easily
resize a large image to the dimensions you need!
1. Open your image in Paint.
2. Make sure you are viewing your image at 100% so you
can judge the size you need correctly. This should be the
default view, but you can go to View on the toolbar and
select the 100% button if not.

Migrating from Windows Server 2003 is not optional -- it's
a necessity
Change is inevitable. And with IT operations, that phrase
couldn't be truer. In April 2014, Microsoft stopped supporting
Windows XP. And now Microsoft has announced it will
no longer support Windows Server 2003 after July 14, 2015.
The risk of running outdated, unsecure, and non-compliant infrastructure
and software is too great to ignore. Migrating from Server 2003
to Server 2012 isn't necessarily difficult, but moving your
data and applications can be a logistically complex, worrisome
task. Start thinking about it now, put it in your budget, and
get ready to make the move. But remember you don't have to do
this alone -- Databranch is here to
help!

are increasing at a compound annual growth rate of sixty to
eighty percent,"1 or in the context of game
changing insights derived from big data and analytics, data
is making headlines.
What doesn't usually appear in bold print or 140-character
tweets is what happens if that data isn't there -- if due to some
situation, your business data is lost; maybe only a few hours
or a day's worth of data, but gone nonetheless.
