BLIND Martin Jones has seen his wife for the first time after surgeons restored his sight using one of his TEETH. Martin, 42, was blinded when a tub of molten aluminium exploded in his face while he was working in a scrapyard 12 years ago. He married care worker Gill, 50, eight years later so he has never seen her - until surgeons performed the incredible op. Overjoyed Martin said: "I met my wife when I was blind and when I found out there was a chance I would get my sight back the first person I wanted to see was her. "The doctors took the bandages off and it was like looking through water and then I saw this figure and it was her. It was unbelievable. "She looked so beautiful. If felt fantastic getting my sight back. I can't describe it, it is beyond words." Martin suffered 37 per cent burns when he was covered in the 600C liquid. He had to wear a body stocking for 23 hours a day as doctors treated his horrific burns. His left eye was so badly damaged it had t

Google Docs has been around for some time now but until recently I’d never managed to find a use for it in my life and my lack of experience with the service means I’ve not felt confident enough to recommend it to readers. We are currently going through the process of getting another shop up and running in Newton Abbot which has necessitated several people working on the same few spreadsheets (costing exercises, proposed time sheets and so on) from several different locations. Google Docs has worked out perfectly for this task. To get started, set up a free Google Account (if you don’t already have one) at http://docs.google.com . From there you will now be able to create an online Document, Spreadsheet or Presentation. As well as then giving you access to these documents from wherever you are in the world, you also have the added advantage that you can choose to share them with any number of different people. Those that you trust to make their own changes can then also edit th

Improved security is a major theme in Vista. It may be the most important determinant of the future success of the operating system. Many improvements are below the surface where greater control over what software can do to the system occurs. Other security features like User Account Control are very obvious. Overall, security features make up some of the biggest changes introduced in Vista. Many of these are very worthy but some are controversial. Here I will discuss some of the new features. Under the hood They may not be apparent but a lot of security measures are going on in the background in Vista. Here's some examples: Buffer overrun protection - A large number of exploits have been making use of " buffer overruns ". Vista manages memory in a way that helps reduce this problem. Data redirection - The way in which applications can write to certain folders and Registry areas is controlled. Malicious software is prevented from changing sensitiv

All Windows systems have many possible configurations. Depending on individual usage patterns, there are a variety of ways to make a Vista system easier and quicker to operate. Here are some tips and tweaks that I like. Make file extensions visible I have made this recommendation for every Windows version so far and I am not stopping with Vista. Why Microsoft persists in the default policy of hiding file extensions is beyond me but they are easily made visible. Open "Computer" and click "Organize" Select "Folder and Search Options" Select the "View" tab and open the "Advanced Options" list Find "Hide File extensions for Known File Types" and uncheck it Show hidden files and folders While you have the above list open, you may also want to select "Show Hidden Files and Folders". Personally, I want to be be able to see hidden objects but you may feel that it's better to protect them by leaving them hid
