Big talk surrounds barbecue, talk that would have you believe the topic is impenetrable, that you should be content to pick up a rack of ribs at the local rib shack and call it a day.
Nonsense.
Barbecue is like anything: Dig in and get your apron dirty, and you start finding out what you need to know to keep getting better.
For many people, the pursuit of barbecue perfection becomes allconsuming, edging out sleep and sex for brain space.
For others, pulling out the smoker to cook chickens on a sunny Saturday is plenty.
Both of these camps start out at the same place: square one.
This book picks up at exactly that spot.
It tells you what you need to know about barbecue cooking and then gives you the recipes to put theory into practice.
Enjoy the ride — and the results.

eBoostr

eBoostr is an alternative solution to Vista ’s ReadyBoost and SuperFetch technologies now available on Windows XP.
It speeds up your PC and improves application responsiveness by using flash memory and free RAM as an extra layer of performance-boosting cache for your PC.
Use up to four inexpensive flash devices to speed up your system.
Add more speed to your PC without any hardware upgrade!

Launch Your Favorite Applications Faster
The more often you use a particular application, the faster it’ll perform. eBoostr gathers statistics on what applications you use and how often, optimizing their performance by pre-caching their files and data and allowing faster access speed and reduced delays.

eBoostr makes Windows load faster, significantly reducing the time your computer needs to boot.

No Hardware Upgrades
Support all types of USB thumb drivesNo need to disassemble your PC in order to upgrade its performance.
eBoostr gives your PC a noticeable performance boost without costly hardware upgrades.
Just plug one or more flash memory drives, install eBoostr and say “Yes” to speed up your computer.

Utilize Available RAM Better
Make use of all RAM availableeBoostr features a SuperFetch-like solution and makes use of the otherwise wasted free RAM to store frequently accessed files and data.
Every time you launch you favorite application, it’ll load much faster because of the preloaded data in RAM.
If your computer has over a gigabyte of memory, you’ll see a significant increase in speed and responsiveness.

Laptops Benefit More
