Few tips for choosing appropriate NAS solution (for newbies)

In this post I'll share few basic tips for all newbies looking out to get into the world of NASes for the first time. I'd be more than grateful if I had an opportunity to get few basic tips what to observe when buying an NAS for the first time. So just to make things clear now - this is a newbie oriented post, but who knows maybe some experienced user might find it useful too. Also information presented here are intended for home users mostly, but can be useful for small and home offices (SoHo) too. Most of you probably heard of NAS (Network Attached Storage) systems and why are they so handy. When I for the first time decided to buy NAS I was doing it with two main objectives - for DATA BACKUP and MEDIA STREAMING. Maybe the second option was even more important to me.

DOS prompt, or at least for me ASCII text art was always a bit fascinating thing.

How to comment lines in DOS batch scripts

Although there is no real DOS prompt in Microsoft Windows operating systems since Vista, rather just it's emulation, don't let if trick you - DOS prompt still represents great and valuable resource for making scripts (which sometimes can grow quite in size and be quite complex) with wide application scope. But in this process you'll for sure be experimenting with various commands and before you'll accomplish your desired goal you'll probably want to (un)comment certail lines of code.
