TIME FOR A BREAK...
------------------------------------------------------------------
I AM so excited - about this issue (so many
discoveries) - and because there will soon be a
Newbies & Nitwits website. It is all arranged and I
should be able to start putting it together (with Pam
Allen's help) within a few days.
Once the site is operative many of the articles which
have already appeared in this ezine will be readily
available - and new ones will appear constantly.
Visitors to the site will be able to subscribe to a
newsletter (short notes really) that will keep them up to
date on new postings.
Newbies, Nerds & Nitwits will continue, as is, but will in
future only be published on the 21st of each month in its
entirety. Those of you who prefer will, however, be able
to read some of it on the website - but not all.
I won't burble on about the other ideas just yet but
expect a wild email as soon as it's all systems go.
Back to this issue. Tom Glander writes about using the
best monitor resolutions and if this is news to you don't
miss this. I have just resized my 15 inch monitor to
1024 X 768. - and what a difference.
Richard Lowe explores all the options on offer from free
email services, I come clean about some of my latest
idiocies, and in addition there are heaps of tips.
Sally Breslin's articles often appear in my other ezine,
Poignant Pearls & Potbellied Pigs, and I couldn't resist
including one - about attempted online matchmaking -
here. So move on to Writer Seeks Red-Haired, Left-
Handed Weightlifters - Who Enjoy Knitting, if you're in
need of light relief.

How To Optimize Your Online Time -Tips for
efficient computer use
by Shahnaz Rauf
____________________________________
SAVE your precious time and efforts by optimizing your
computer usage skills. Here are a few tips for you
(Window Users):
-The `Ctrl plus F` keys bring up the `Find` function.
Particularly useful when reading e-mails you need to
find the Ad Code, Ad published twice etc. Also good
for find requirements in Word documents.
-The `Ctrl plus N` keys open up a new window.
Excellent when reading emails, and you need to visit
some other link without exiting your email program. Or
you need to open two e-mails in the same account at
the same time, or compose a reply with the email open
in front of you. Or.. the possibilities are endless.
-The `Shift plus mouse click` opens any link in a new
page. Good when you need to visit another site
without exiting your present location.
-The `Alt plus left arrow` enables you to move to a
previous page in a web.
-The `Alt plus right arrow` enables you to move
forward in a website.

USING THE BEST MONITOR RESOLUTION
Tom Glander explains
____________________________________
WHY not check your monitor right now to make sure
you're seeing everything you should be? If your
resolution is set too low, stuff is real big on screen,
and takes up space that could be used for additional
viewing.
If you're a little visually challenged, this may not be of
use!
Right click a blank portion of the desktop and select
"Properties" from the context menu. Then, on Display
Properties window, click the Settings tab. See what the
slider is set at: 640 X 480, 800 X 600, or 1024 X 768.
Try adjusting it to at least 800 X 600, and higher if you
can.
Best settings for larger monitors (19 inch and up) are in
the higher range. But I've seen many a 15 inch monitor
set at 1024 X 768. You can really see a lot more on a
page at that resolution.
Resolution is simply the number of lines you can get on
the screen, or number of pixels you cram into a given
space. It's like using graph paper that has 5 squares to
the inch or 10 squares to the inch. The more squares you
have, the better and finer a picture you can create
simply by coloring in the squares. Paper with 20 squares
per inch means you'll need a finer pencil or pen to color
each square, since each will be smaller. Your computer
displays stuff in the same sort of way--only in pixels
instead of squares.
By the way, 'pixel' comes from 'picture element.' It's
just one itty bitty dot on your screen, and one small part
of the whole picture.
To put it simply, if you want more screen real estate, set
your resolution to a higher number. Stuff gets smaller,
but you can see more of it in the same number of inches
you've got available on your monitor.
If you're asked about restarting your computer or just
making the change without restarting, take the latter.
You usually don't have to restart it just to change the
resolution. And speaking of resolutions, my New
Year's...
Never mind. Next!

WRITER SEEKS RED-HAIRED. LEFT-HANDED
WEIGHTLIFTERS - WHO ENJOY KNITTING
reports Sally Breslin
______________________________________
THE other day, one of my unmarried friends who doesn't
own a computer, asked me if I would search through
some of the personal ads online and let her know if I
found any guys I thought might be suitable for her. Even
though I wasn't certain exactly what type of man was her
type, I told her I'd check.
I selected the two largest sites for personal ads, and
began my search. Interestingly, one site had a 'want list'
page, where you could enter all of the requirements for
your dream match, from his hat size to his wallet size.
At first, I entered some pretty common stuff: tall, well-
educated and a good sense of humor. When the
website found over 6,000 possible matches, I began to
get more specific…and creative.
I soon forgot about my friend, and began to play games
with the 'want list', just to see how many matches the
computer would come up with. I tried to be as unique as
possible, asking for things like red-haired, left-handed
weightlifters who enjoyed knitting.
Believe me, nobody was more shocked than I was when
a match actually turned up. (OK, so he didn't knit, but he
WAS left-handed, red-haired, and lifted weights!).
I was in the middle of challenging the site to find a
bearded Scandinavian bowler who enjoyed opera,
when I suddenly remembered that my mission was to
find a guy for my friend, not play games, so I buckled
down and resumed the search for her Mr. Right.
A few ads sounded pretty promising. There was a
country doctor who owned a horse ranch; a former CNN
TV newsman who wanted a woman to travel the world
with him; and a guy who owned his own coffee house
and worked part-time modeling and doing TV
commercials.
Some of the ads, however, made me laugh out loud,
even though I have the sneaking suspicion most of them
weren't intentionally meant to be funny. For example,
one man answered the following questions in his ad:
OCCUPATION: Airline pilot.
DISTANCE YOU ARE WILLING TO TRAVEL FOR A
DATE: 5 miles.
(Maybe I have a strange sense of humor, but this really
struck me funny).
Another man wrote:
OCCUPATION: Shepherd.
ANNUAL INCOME: Over $100,000.
(Evidently, these sheep must belong to someone like
Elizabeth Taylor).
Another ad read: 'I am an extremely handsome
chiropractor with a perfectly sculpted body that any
woman would just love to touch. I also am down-to-earth,
caring and humble. Guys are very visual creatures, so it
only makes sense that I want my woman to look as good
as I do, which means that if you don't look like a top
fashion model, do us both a favor and don't answer my
ad!'
(I think this chiropractor should give himself an
adjustment...an attitude adjustment!).
One guy who obviously had a sense of humor wrote: 'If
you are a big hairy man writing to me from his mother's
basement and pretending to be a woman, please go
find someone else to send your love letters to!'
And then there was this ad (and I am writing it exactly as
it appeared): 'Very intellegent young man would like to
meet a woman with a plesent personality who enjoys
stimmulating conversation.'
Another ad, featuring a photo of a handsome blonde
guy with bright blue eyes, also gave me a chuckle. He
wrote: 'Above all else, I am looking for an honest
woman. Honesty is extremely important to me because I
have been lied to so many times in the past, I am really
having trouble trusting women. I currently am married,
and plan to stay that way, so any woman who answers
my ad will have to be very discreet.'
One guy obviously wasn't concerned about personal
hygiene. When asked to list his favorite pastime, he
wrote: 'I enjoy hanging out in dives that serve liquor and
have really dirty bathrooms.'
I also noticed that when it came to listing a body type
(the people placing ads had to describe themselves by
selecting one of the following: slim, average, athletic, a
few pounds overweight or very overweight), women
were more honest in their ads than the men were.
Many of the women who described themselves as
overweight, added BBW next to their descriptions (I
later found out that it stands for 'big, beautiful woman').
Men who described themselves as overweight usually
added, 'I'm a big, cuddly teddy bear,' or 'I would make a
great football player.' The funny part is that when they
had to list which body type they preferred on their
women, it was either slim or average.
A photo in one ad showed a man who weighed at least
400 pounds, holding a can of beer and sprawled out on
a sofa, leaving very little of the sofa visible beneath him.
He listed his body type as 'athletic.' Unless he's a Sumo
wrestler, I have the feeling that 'athletic' probably isn't a
completely accurate description.
Alas, after hours of searching, I think I've finally come up
with a guy who sounds like a great match for my friend.
He listed his age as 90 and his hobby as 'breathing.'
You can't get much safer than that.

HOW NOT TO GO ABOUT NEW PROGRAMS
- or read before you run
by Sheldene Chant (of course)
____________________________________
FOR about the fiftieth time I have been demonstrating
how NOT to find my way around a recently installed
software program . I believe rodents cannot learn by
trial and error and unfortunately I must have a great deal
in common with rats.
Perhaps if I share my latest experience some of you
may avoid the pitfalls.
As part of the quest to create an attractive eBook I
finally purchased the necessary software - it is fairly
complicated - then decided to try it out at once.
After skimming through the extensive instructions in ten
minutes I was 'ready' for a dummy run. I always seem
to begin these projects in the late afternoon so I finally
went to bed at 2 a.m confused, cross, frustrated,and
exhausted. Need I add I was also without a 'dummy'
eBook?
The following afternoon, having recovered a certain
amount of equanimity, I tried again. And this time I
printed out the instructions (approximately 50 A4 pages)
which I should have done in the first place. Then I read
them carefully - which took a lot longer than the original
10 minutes.
Reading something complex and unfamiliar on a PC
screen just doesn't work for me. For a few days I will be
toting all those pages to bed. When I have finished
reading - and rereading - I will simply recycle all that
paper through my printer - the next time I have to study
something in depth.
I have also made some progress with the eBook
'dummy'. What a pity I continue to do everything the
hard way.
Naturally I have several under-utilised programs on my
PC, never having taken the trouble to investigate them
properly. Every now and again I discover some brilliant
shortcut I could have been using for months - by
mistake. Only yesterday I found I had a program which
instantly converted a document to HTML at the click of
the mouse. (I won't tell you the contortions I was
involved in, before that.)
The moral of the story is don't attempt to run with a new
program before you have a clue how to walk. This also
applies to new hardware. I have a scanner I am still
attempting to operate in a hit and miss manner, and it
took me a year to discover that I could highlight text and
then print it. To think of all the paper, to say nothing of
all that expensive ink, wasted!
All I had to do was read the Print dialogue box, properly,
and I would have noticed the Selection 'button' under
Print Range.
I don't know why I'm choosing this moment to reveal
more stupidities but here's another paper and time
saving method which took me years to catch on to.
When you only want to save bits and pieces of a lengthy
document, open a text editor (such as Wordpad which
comes with Windows). Resize the two windows (by
holding the cursor over the edges of each window and
moving it in the direction you want when it changes to a
two-headed arrow) When the two windows are
arranged side by side, highlight the text you need to
keep. Place the cursor on this highlighted text, left click
and hold down, then drag the highlighted text into the
other window. When you have assembled all the text
'fragments' you want, save, print, or do whatever you like
with them.
I'm always thrilled when I unearth these little tricks -
even if it is a bit late in the day.

FREE STUFF EMAIL
by Richard Lowe, Jr
______________________________________
FREE email services are in abundance all over the
web. There are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of
different services to help you with your messages.
Why do companies provide these services?
Because they can sell advertising space, and they have
several ways to do it.
- They can append a small ad to each email message
which is sent or received
- They can display banners
- Their sites can issue pop-up windows with
advertisements
Why would you want to use a free email service?
Probably the most important reason is simply to help
you with spam. You can use a web based free email
account to receive messages from sign-ups to various
services. Then, you can access the account only when
necessary for the service.
This way, any spam messages will be directed to the
free mailbox, which you do not use very often if at all.
Another great reason to use these services is to be able
to pick up your email from your browser. This is great for
when you are traveling or on those occasions when you
want to read your home email when at work (see 'Is
surfing the internet safe at work?')
Each of the four basic types of email services are
described below, along with some examples of some
of the free services that are available.
Web Based Email - These services allow you to
retrieve, send and manage your email from your
browser. In general, the services are advertising
(banner) supported, although most offer an ad free
paid version of some kind.
Hotmail.Com
http://www.hotmail.com
The first and oldest web-based email system. Good
interface, reliable and reasonably fast.
Mail.Com
http://www.mail.com/mailcom/login.jhtml
Probably the best free web-based email service
available. Choose from dozens of different email
domains. Very easy to use and flexible. Premium
service is available at a low cost.
Startrekmail
http://www.startrekmail.com/member/login.page
Create your own Star Trek email address. Choose from
many domains, including:
@StarTrek.com
@USSEnterprise.com
@Klingons.com
@HesDeadJim.com
@ToBoldlyGo.com
@DeepSpaceNine.com
Yahoo Mail
http://mail.yahoo.com/
Another popular, nice email system. Lots of features,
very reliable and fast.
POP Email Services - POP email is virtually always
supplied as part of the services you receive from your
web host and ISP. Your messages are stored on
a server, and you use your email client (Outlook, Outlook
Express or Eudora, for example) to send, receive and
manage your messages.
E-OmniNet
http://eo.yifan.net/
E-Omninet provides online services of all kinds with a
single account. It includes the file manager, address
book, bookmarks, solar and lunar calendars plus event
reminder, free POP3 email and web hosting.
Mail Options
http://www.mailops.com/
Provides mail and news access in a web based
browser. Mail is stored on a POP server.
RunBox
http://www.runbox.com/
Runbox Mail Manager is a server-based email
application that enables you to store all your email
online. They provide 100 MB of storage space,
extensive management features, and the ability to
access email on any device.
Web-based POP Email Services - These services
allow you to receive your POP email using your
browser. Some of them will read from your own supplied
POP email account (such as your ISP account) and
others have their own POP servers.
Email Planet
http://www.emailplanet.com/
Allows you to manage your email from your browser.
FetchMail
http://www.fetchmail.com/
Let's you read your POP email using your browser.
Mail2Web
http://www.mail2web.com/
Will read POP mail from any POP server using your
browser. Looks like a nice service.
MailAndNews
http://mailandnews.com/
Another web based service allowing you to access your
email. In addition, this company lets you read
newsgroups.
Email Forwarding Services - These services will
forward your email from an existing email account to
another account.
Bigfoot
http://www.bigfoot.com/
This service will forward email from your email account
to another email address. This is very useful when you
are on vacation. Also has the ability to distribute and
filter messages. A premium (paid) service is available
with more options.
HotPop
http://www.bigfoot.com/
HotPop provides a full featured email client, with POP
capabilities and email forwarding.
Return Receipt Services - Sometimes you just have to
know that an email was received by someone. The
problem is that support for return receipts is
dependent upon the email client, and can be turned off
entirely by the user! These services get around that
problem.
ReturnReceipt
http://www.returnreceipt.com/
ReturnReceipt is a web-based email system that
notifies you when your email has been received and
read. It functions much like the U.S. Postal System's
certified mail, with senders receiving an electronically
"postmarked" receipt documenting the exact time and
date an email was read. Use it for all your important
email and anytime you need proof your email was read.
Miscellaneous email services - Some services that are
useful but do not fit into the above categories.
OneHopMail
http://www.bluefingers.com/ohmhtml/ohm_send.html
This service is very cool. Let's say you are on the road
and need to send an email message. You want it to
appear as if you sent it from your home email
but cannot access (or don't want to for some reason)
your email account. Use HopMail to enter your email
address and a message. The service will send a
test message to your email account. If the message
makes it okay, it will send your message on it's way, as
if it came from you.

PLEASE FORWARD...
IF you have enjoyed reading Newbies, Nerds & Nitwits
please forward a copy to some of your friends.
(If you're new to this simply click on the Forward button
in your email program, then type in your friend's
address when the new mail message, containing this
issue, appears. (It is also a good idea to type in a short
message above Newbies, Nerds & Nitwits, so the
friend knows what's happening. I really don't want to be
accused of spamming!)
________________________________________
* ----------------------HOT TIP--------------------- *
DO you get those forwarded emails with everyone's
email address in them? Want to forward email to
everyone in your email address book, but don't want
each person to get the whole list of names?
Use BCC! Instead of using the CC feature of your email
client, use the BCC line. Put each address there,
separated by a comma. Then when you send your note,
everyone will think they're the only one receiving it.
Besides, I don't WANT all those extra email addresses
cluttering up your message!

How To Optimize Your Online Time -Tips for<br>
efficient computer use<br>
by Shahnaz Rauf<br>
____________________________________<br><br>
</b>SAVE your precious time and efforts by optimizing your<br>
computer usage skills. Here are a few tips for you<br>
(Window Users):<br><br>
-The `Ctrl plus F` keys bring up the `Find` function.<br>
Particularly useful when reading e-mails you need to<br>
find the Ad Code, Ad published twice etc. Also good<br>
for find requirements in Word documents.<br><br>
-The `Ctrl plus N` keys open up a new window.<br>
Excellent when reading emails, and you need to visit<br>
some other link without exiting your email program. Or<br>
you need to open two e-mails in the same account at<br>
the same time, or compose a reply with the email open<br>
in front of you. Or.. the possibilities are endless.<br><br>
-The `Shift plus mouse click` opens any link in a new<br>
page. Good when you need to visit another site<br>
without exiting your present location.<br><br>
-The `Alt plus left arrow` enables you to move to a<br>
previous page in a web.<br><br>
-The `Alt plus right arrow` enables you to move<br>
forward in a website.<br>

USING THE BEST MONITOR RESOLUTION<br>
Tom Glander explains<br>
____________________________________<br><br>
</b>WHY not check your monitor right now to make sure<br>
you're seeing everything you should be? If your<br>
resolution is set too low, stuff is real big on screen,<br>
and takes up space that could be used for additional<br>
viewing.<br><br>
If you're a little visually challenged, this may not be of<br>
use!<br><br>
Right click a blank portion of the desktop and select<br>
"Properties" from the context menu. Then, on Display<br>
Properties window, click the Settings tab. See what the<br>
slider is set at: 640 X 480, 800 X 600, or 1024 X 768.<br>
Try adjusting it to at least 800 X 600, and higher if you<br>
can.<br><br>
Best settings for larger monitors (19 inch and up) are in<br>
the higher range. But I've seen many a 15 inch monitor<br>
set at 1024 X 768. You can really see a lot more on a<br>
page at that resolution.<br><br>
Resolution is simply the number of lines you can get on<br>
the screen, or number of pixels you cram into a given<br>
space. It's like using graph paper that has 5 squares to<br>
the inch or 10 squares to the inch. The more squares you<br>
have, the better and finer a picture you can create<br>
simply by coloring in the squares. Paper with 20 squares<br>
per inch means you'll need a finer pencil or pen to color<br>
each square, since each will be smaller. Your computer<br>
displays stuff in the same sort of way--only in pixels<br>
instead of squares.<br><br>
By the way, 'pixel' comes from 'picture element.' It's<br>
just one itty bitty dot on your screen, and one small part<br>
of the whole picture.<br><br>
To put it simply, if you want more screen real estate, set<br>
your resolution to a higher number. Stuff gets smaller,<br>
but you can see more of it in the same number of inches<br>
you've got available on your monitor.<br><br>
If you're asked about restarting your computer or just<br>
making the change without restarting, take the latter.<br>
You usually don't have to restart it just to change the<br>
resolution. And speaking of resolutions, my New<br>
Year's...<br><br>
Never mind. Next!<br><br>

WRITER SEEKS RED-HAIRED. LEFT-HANDED<br>
WEIGHTLIFTERS - WHO ENJOY KNITTING<br>
reports Sally Breslin<br>
______________________________________<br><br>
</b>THE other day, one of my unmarried friends who doesn't<br>
own a computer, asked me if I would search through<br>
some of the personal ads online and let her know if I<br>
found any guys I thought might be suitable for her. Even<br>
though I wasn't certain exactly what type of man was her<br>
type, I told her I'd check.<br><br>
I selected the two largest sites for personal ads, and<br>
began my search. Interestingly, one site had a 'want list'<br>
page, where you could enter all of the requirements for<br>
your dream match, from his hat size to his wallet size.<br><br>
At first, I entered some pretty common stuff: tall, well-<br>
educated and a good sense of humor. When the<br>
website found over 6,000 possible matches, I began to<br>
get more specific…and creative.<br><br>
I soon forgot about my friend, and began to play games<br>
with the 'want list', just to see how many matches the<br>
computer would come up with. I tried to be as unique as<br>
possible, asking for things like red-haired, left-handed<br>
weightlifters who enjoyed knitting.<br><br>
Believe me, nobody was more shocked than I was when<br>
a match actually turned up. (OK, so he didn't knit, but he<br>
WAS left-handed, red-haired, and lifted weights!).<br><br>
I was in the middle of challenging the site to find a<br>
bearded Scandinavian bowler who enjoyed opera,<br>
when I suddenly remembered that my mission was to<br>
find a guy for my friend, not play games, so I buckled<br>
down and resumed the search for her Mr. Right.<br><br>
A few ads sounded pretty promising. There was a<br>
country doctor who owned a horse ranch; a former CNN<br>
TV newsman who wanted a woman to travel the world<br>
with him; and a guy who owned his own coffee house<br>
and worked part-time modeling and doing TV<br>
commercials.<br><br>
Some of the ads, however, made me laugh out loud,<br>
even though I have the sneaking suspicion most of them<br>
weren't intentionally meant to be funny. For example,<br>
one man answered the following questions in his ad:<br><br>
OCCUPATION: Airline pilot.<br>
DISTANCE YOU ARE WILLING TO TRAVEL FOR A<br>
DATE: 5 miles.<br>
(Maybe I have a strange sense of humor, but this really<br>
struck me funny).<br><br>
Another man wrote:<br>
OCCUPATION: Shepherd.<br>
ANNUAL INCOME: Over $100,000.<br>
(Evidently, these sheep must belong to someone like<br>
Elizabeth Taylor).<br><br>
Another ad read: 'I am an extremely handsome<br>
chiropractor with a perfectly sculpted body that any<br>
woman would just love to touch. I also am down-to-earth,<br>
caring and humble. Guys are very visual creatures, so it<br>
only makes sense that I want my woman to look as good<br>
as I do, which means that if you don't look like a top<br>
fashion model, do us both a favor and don't answer my<br>
ad!'<br>
(I think this chiropractor should give himself an<br>
adjustment...an attitude adjustment!).<br><br>
One guy who obviously had a sense of humor wrote: 'If<br>
you are a big hairy man writing to me from his mother's<br>
basement and pretending to be a woman, please go<br>
find someone else to send your love letters to!'<br><br>
And then there was this ad (and I am writing it exactly as<br>
it appeared): 'Very intellegent young man would like to<br>
meet a woman with a plesent personality who enjoys<br>
stimmulating conversation.'<br><br>
Another ad, featuring a photo of a handsome blonde<br>
guy with bright blue eyes, also gave me a chuckle. He<br>
wrote: 'Above all else, I am looking for an honest<br>
woman. Honesty is extremely important to me because I<br>
have been lied to so many times in the past, I am really<br>
having trouble trusting women. I currently am married,<br>
and plan to stay that way, so any woman who answers<br>
my ad will have to be very discreet.'<br><br>
One guy obviously wasn't concerned about personal<br>
hygiene. When asked to list his favorite pastime, he<br>
wrote: 'I enjoy hanging out in dives that serve liquor and<br>
have really dirty bathrooms.'<br><br>
I also noticed that when it came to listing a body type<br>
(the people placing ads had to describe themselves by<br>
selecting one of the following: slim, average, athletic, a<br>
few pounds overweight or very overweight), women<br>
were more honest in their ads than the men were.<br><br>
Many of the women who described themselves as<br>
overweight, added BBW next to their descriptions (I<br>
later found out that it stands for 'big, beautiful woman').<br>
Men who described themselves as overweight usually<br>
added, 'I'm a big, cuddly teddy bear,' or 'I would make a<br>
great football player.' The funny part is that when they<br>
had to list which body type they preferred on their<br>
women, it was either slim or average.<br><br>
A photo in one ad showed a man who weighed at least<br>
400 pounds, holding a can of beer and sprawled out on<br>
a sofa, leaving very little of the sofa visible beneath him.<br>
He listed his body type as 'athletic.' Unless he's a Sumo<br>
wrestler, I have the feeling that 'athletic' probably isn't a<br>
completely accurate description.<br><br>
Alas, after hours of searching, I think I've finally come up<br>
with a guy who sounds like a great match for my friend.<br>
He listed his age as 90 and his hobby as 'breathing.'<br>
You can't get much safer than that.<br><br>

HOW NOT TO GO ABOUT NEW PROGRAMS<br>
- or read before you run<br>
by Sheldene Chant (of course)<br>
____________________________________<br><br>
</b>FOR about the fiftieth time I have been demonstrating<br>
how NOT to find my way around a recently installed<br>
software program . I believe rodents cannot learn by<br>
trial and error and unfortunately I must have a great deal<br>
in common with rats.<br><br>
Perhaps if I share my latest experience some of you<br>
may avoid the pitfalls.<br><br>
As part of the quest to create an attractive eBook I<br>
finally purchased the necessary software - it is fairly<br>
complicated - then decided to try it out at once.<br><br>
After skimming through the extensive instructions in ten<br>
minutes I was 'ready' for a dummy run. I always seem<br>
to begin these projects in the late afternoon so I finally<br>
went to bed at 2 a.m confused, cross, frustrated,and<br>
exhausted. Need I add I was also without a 'dummy'<br>
eBook?<br><br>
The following afternoon, having recovered a certain<br>
amount of equanimity, I tried again. And this time I<br>
printed out the instructions (approximately 50 A4 pages)<br>
which I should have done in the first place. Then I read<br>
them carefully - which took a lot longer than the original<br>
10 minutes.<br><br>
Reading something complex and unfamiliar on a PC<br>
screen just doesn't work for me. For a few days I will be<br>
toting all those pages to bed. When I have finished<br>
reading - and rereading - I will simply recycle all that<br>
paper through my printer - the next time I have to study<br>
something in depth.<br><br>
I have also made some progress with the eBook<br>
'dummy'. What a pity I continue to do everything the<br>
hard way.<br><br>
Naturally I have several under-utilised programs on my<br>
PC, never having taken the trouble to investigate them<br>
properly. Every now and again I discover some brilliant<br>
shortcut I could have been using for months - by<br>
mistake. Only yesterday I found I had a program which<br>
instantly converted a document to HTML at the click of<br>
the mouse. (I won't tell you the contortions I was<br>
involved in, before that.)<br><br>
The moral of the story is don't attempt to run with a new<br>
program before you have a clue how to walk. This also<br>
applies to new hardware. I have a scanner I am still<br>
attempting to operate in a hit and miss manner, and it<br>
took me a year to discover that I could highlight text and<br>
then print it. To think of all the paper, to say nothing of<br>
all that expensive ink, wasted!<br><br>
All I had to do was read the Print dialogue box, properly,<br>
and I would have noticed the Selection 'button' under<br>
Print Range.<br><br>
I don't know why I'm choosing this moment to reveal<br>
more stupidities but here's another paper and time<br>
saving method which took me years to catch on to.<br><br>
When you only want to save bits and pieces of a lengthy<br>
document, open a text editor (such as Wordpad which<br>
comes with Windows). Resize the two windows (by<br>
holding the cursor over the edges of each window and<br>
moving it in the direction you want when it changes to a<br>
two-headed arrow) When the two windows are<br>
arranged side by side, highlight the text you need to<br>
keep. Place the cursor on this highlighted text, left
click<br>
and hold down, then drag the highlighted text into the<br>
other window. When you have assembled all the text<br>
'fragments' you want, save, print, or do whatever you like<br>
with them.<br><br>
I'm always thrilled when I unearth these little tricks -<br>
even if it is a bit late in the day.<br><br>

FREE STUFF EMAIL<br>
by Richard Lowe, Jr<br>
______________________________________<br><br>
</b>FREE email services are in abundance all over the<br>
web. There are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of<br>
different services to help you with your messages.<br><br>
Why do companies provide these services?<br>
Because they can sell advertising space, and they have<br>
several ways to do it.<br><br>
- They can append a small ad to each email message<br>
which is sent or received<br><br>
- They can display banners<br><br>
- Their sites can issue pop-up windows with<br>
advertisements<br><br>
Why would you want to use a free email service?<br>
Probably the most important reason is simply to help<br>
you with spam. You can use a web based free email<br>
account to receive messages from sign-ups to various<br>
services. Then, you can access the account only when<br>
necessary for the service.<br><br>
This way, any spam messages will be directed to the<br>
free mailbox, which you do not use very often if at all.<br><br>
Another great reason to use these services is to be able<br>
to pick up your email from your browser. This is great for<br>
when you are traveling or on those occasions when you<br>
want to read your home email when at work (see 'Is<br>
surfing the internet safe at work?')<br><br>
Each of the four basic types of email services are<br>
described below, along with some examples of some<br>
of the free services that are available.<br><br>
Web Based Email - These services allow you to<br>
retrieve, send and manage your email from your<br>
browser. In general, the services are advertising<br>
(banner) supported, although most offer an ad free<br>
paid version of some kind.<br><br>
Hotmail.Com<br>
<a href="http://www.hotmail.com/" eudora="autourl">http://www.hotmail.com</a><br>
The first and oldest web-based email system. Good<br>
interface, reliable and reasonably fast.<br><br>
Mail.Com<br>
<a href="http://www.mail.com/mailcom/login.jhtml" eudora="autourl">http://www.mail.com/mailcom/login.jhtml</a><br>
Probably the best free web-based email service<br>
available. Choose from dozens of different email<br>
domains. Very easy to use and flexible. Premium<br>
service is available at a low cost.<br><br>
Startrekmail<br>
<a href="http://www.startrekmail.com/member/login.page" eudora="autourl">http://www.startrekmail.com/member/login.page</a><br>
Create your own Star Trek email address. Choose from<br>
many domains, including:<br><br>
@StarTrek.com<br>
@USSEnterprise.com<br>
@Klingons.com<br>
@HesDeadJim.com<br>
@ToBoldlyGo.com<br>
@DeepSpaceNine.com<br><br>
Yahoo Mail<br>
<a href="http://mail.yahoo.com/" eudora="autourl">http://mail.yahoo.com/</a><br>
Another popular, nice email system. Lots of features,<br>
very reliable and fast.<br><br>
POP Email Services - POP email is virtually always<br>
supplied as part of the services you receive from your<br>
web host and ISP. Your messages are stored on<br>
a server, and you use your email client (Outlook, Outlook<br>
Express or Eudora, for example) to send, receive and<br>
manage your messages.<br><br>
E-OmniNet<br>
<a href="http://eo.yifan.net/" eudora="autourl">http://eo.yifan.net/</a><br>
E-Omninet provides online services of all kinds with a<br>
single account. It includes the file manager, address<br>
book, bookmarks, solar and lunar calendars plus event<br>
reminder, free POP3 email and web hosting.<br><br>
Mail Options<br>
<a href="http://www.mailops.com/" eudora="autourl">http://www.mailops.com/</a><br>
Provides mail and news access in a web based<br>
browser. Mail is stored on a POP server.<br><br>
RunBox<br>
<a href="http://www.runbox.com/" eudora="autourl">http://www.runbox.com/</a><br>
Runbox Mail Manager is a server-based email<br>
application that enables you to store all your email<br>
online. They provide 100 MB of storage space,<br>
extensive management features, and the ability to<br>
access email on any device.<br><br>
Web-based POP Email Services - These services<br>
allow you to receive your POP email using your<br>
browser. Some of them will read from your own supplied<br>
POP email account (such as your ISP account) and<br>
others have their own POP servers.<br><br>
Email Planet<br>
<a href="http://www.emailplanet.com/" eudora="autourl">http://www.emailplanet.com/</a><br>
Allows you to manage your email from your browser.<br><br>
FetchMail<br>
<a href="http://www.fetchmail.com/" eudora="autourl">http://www.fetchmail.com/</a><br>
Let's you read your POP email using your browser.<br><br>
Mail2Web<br>
<a href="http://www.mail2web.com/" eudora="autourl">http://www.mail2web.com/</a><br>
Will read POP mail from any POP server using your<br>
browser. Looks like a nice service.<br><br>
MailAndNews<br>
<a href="http://mailandnews.com/" eudora="autourl">http://mailandnews.com/</a><br>
Another web based service allowing you to access your<br>
email. In addition, this company lets you read<br>
newsgroups.<br><br>
Email Forwarding Services - These services will<br>
forward your email from an existing email account to<br>
another account.<br><br>
Bigfoot<br>
<a href="http://www.bigfoot.com/" eudora="autourl">http://www.bigfoot.com/</a><br>
This service will forward email from your email account<br>
to another email address. This is very useful when you<br>
are on vacation. Also has the ability to distribute and<br>
filter messages. A premium (paid) service is available<br>
with more options.<br><br>
HotPop<br>
<a href="http://www.bigfoot.com/" eudora="autourl">http://www.bigfoot.com/</a><br>
HotPop provides a full featured email client, with POP<br>
capabilities and email forwarding.<br><br>
Return Receipt Services - Sometimes you just have to<br>
know that an email was received by someone. The<br>
problem is that support for return receipts is<br>
dependent upon the email client, and can be turned off<br>
entirely by the user! These services get around that<br>
problem.<br><br>
ReturnReceipt<br>
<a href="http://www.returnreceipt.com/" eudora="autourl">http://www.returnreceipt.com/</a><br>
ReturnReceipt is a web-based email system that<br>
notifies you when your email has been received and<br>
read. It functions much like the U.S. Postal System's<br>
certified mail, with senders receiving an electronically<br>
"postmarked" receipt documenting the exact time and<br>
date an email was read. Use it for all your important<br>
email and anytime you need proof your email was read.<br><br>
Miscellaneous email services - Some services that are<br>
useful but do not fit into the above categories.<br><br>
OneHopMail<br>
<a href="http://www.bluefingers.com/ohmhtml/ohm_send.html" eudora="autourl">http://www.bluefingers.com/ohmhtml/ohm_send.html</a><br>
This service is very cool. Let's say you are on the road<br>
and need to send an email message. You want it to<br>
appear as if you sent it from your home email<br>
but cannot access (or don't want to for some reason)<br>
your email account. Use HopMail to enter your email<br>
address and a message. The service will send a<br>
test message to your email account. If the message<br>
makes it okay, it will send your message on it's way, as<br>
if it came from you.<br><br>
