 | The Product Page By now, you all know how WorldStart works, right? We send out our newsletters on their assigned days and along with them, we always include some sale items for you to check out. So, let's say you get the daily Computer Tips newsletter and as you're reading through it, you see an item you may be interested in purchasing. What do you do then? Well, I'm guessing you read through its advertisement, hoping to learn more about it. That's what I would do anyway! But, what if, after reading through the ad, you still have some questions about the product? How are you supposed to get those questions answered? Do you just buy the item and hope it works out okay? No! By all means, don't do that. When you need more information about one of our items, you should always check out the product page. Yep, every single item we sell comes along with its very own product page and that page always includes all the additional information you need to know that was not covered in the ad. Who knew?! So, how do you get to the product page? Well, at the very end of each advertisement we put in the newsletter, you'll find a link. If you click on that link, you'll be taken straight to the product page, where you'll find all the extra details for the item you're interested in. Each product page includes a program description, key features, system requirements and so on. For instance, if you're buying a piece of hardware that requires batteries, the product page will tell you what kind it needs and if they're included or not. And that's just one example! The product page is just a little something we put together for each of our items so that you know exactly what you're buying. So, if you haven't done so already, check it out today! (of course, you can always call us at 1-800-915-2088 if you have unanswered questions :-) ~ Erin You can't stop now! There's so much more to read about. Keep going to learn how you can go about cleaning your mousepad, find out how to easily diagram it in various MS Office programs and learn how you can prevent your Windows Vista hard drive from working too hard.

Network Your Computers! Yes! YOU Can Do It - In Minutes! WOW!! It's NEVER Been This Easy!! WOW - I'm bouncing off the walls! I FINALLY have a home network! We have this amazing title in and I almost can't stand how impressed I am with it! It's called Network Magic and it makes creating a home network ridiculously easy. We're talking about having two computer sharing files and printers in about 10 minutes! Here's how it works. You just install the software on the computer you want on the network. Next, run through the little wizard and answer a few questions / preferences (deciding what you want to share, what you don't). Once that computer is done, you go on to the next one. Run the software, follow the wizard, and just like that you're networked! Here's a cropped shot of my shiny new network: (Can you tell I'm happy about all this? :-) That's it! The above network was really set up in all of ten minutes! Is that incredible or what??? Talk about super-simple!

This software logs directly into your router and gives you one easy location to adjust everything! Oh, and here's another reason why this is soooo easy to use - this not only has tons of wizards to help you along, but it has DETAILED and easy to understand instructions (written in plain English - you don't have to be a computer expert) on topics that would normally be very difficult. For example, adding a shared folder or printer is just a two click operation, select the item and hit Share! Oh, and get this - it has lots of tools that make it super-simple to do things like speed up your connection, find and track intruders, protect your wireless network from hackers, and even fix a broken internet connection!

PLEASE get to the site early. Give this a try, I know you're gonna love it!! Q: A: Just like a mouse, the mousepad can easily collect dirt, dead skin and oil. After all of that sits in place for awhile, it can start to make your mousepad look a little grimy and gross. Listed below are the steps you need to follow to keep your mousepad looking spic and span! 1.) Most of the mousepads out there today have a spongy, foamy material in them. Then on top of that, they are usually covered in a thin fabric or a plastic top. Investigate as to which material yours is made of before you go any further. That will determine which way you can clean your mousepad. 2.) If the material is a fabric, you can use a slightly moist washcloth and a little bit of shampoo. (Make sure you're using a cloth you don't mind getting dirty). This works out well, because chances are, you already have shampoo on hand and it's a gentle cleaner that works perfectly on different fabrics. 3.) On the other hand, if your mousepad has a plastic top, spray a bit of your household cleaner on it. Make sure it's a mild kind and you only need to use a small amount. Use a piece of cloth or a sponge to then clean the pad. Even dish soap or some shampoo would work for this type of mousepad as well. 4.) Once you choose which method you'd like to use, go ahead and clean the mousepad as best you can. When you're done, make sure all of the cleaners are rinsed off. 5.) When the whole thing is rinsed, use a towel to dry the mousepad. Just pat the towel gently until the surface feels dry. 6.) Now, even though it may feel dry, there's probably still some water soaked in, so let it sit overnight or as long as it needs to. Make sure it is completely dry (even all the way into the foam) before you start using it again. Also, if your desk is wooden, you'll want the mousepad to be 100 percent dry, because the water could ruin the surface of your desk as well. The only other thing you want to be careful of when you're cleaning your mousepad is the color of it. If you think the water might ruin the colors, test it out first. Just moisten a corner of the mousepad to see what it does. It's better to ruin just a corner, rather than the whole thing. Also, if your mousepad is coming apart at the seams or if it is stained pretty badly, you may just want to go out and purchase a new one. They're relatively inexpensive and it's better to have a good place for your mouse to sit than to keep an old mousepad hanging around. One more thing! While you're waiting for your mousepad to dry, you might as well clean that mouse of yours too. Read here and here for some help with that, depending on the type of mouse you have. Wow, who knew I could write so much about cleaning a mousepad? I also bet you'll be surprised at how much dirt and grime you clean off of yours. Give it a shot today! ~ Erin Have a question for the newsletter? Submit it at the link below:
Diagram It Do you have MS Office XP or newer? Do you have some information you need to deliver to an audience with some punch? Is it something that would be best if displayed visually, as opposed to a bunch of text? Maybe something along the lines of a Venn diagram. Or, a pyramid. Maybe even a radial diagram. (Note: You'd obviously use versions that are a little larger than my screenshot. I shrunk them down, just to give you a quick idea of what's possible). If you're in need of a display and you find you're looking for new ways to get your point across, maybe the diagram choices available in Word, Excel and PowerPoint are just the solution you need! Here's the scoop on quick, easy and eye-catching diagrams in your Office files. To activate the diagram function in older Office versions, use the Insert menu, Diagram choice. In Office 2007, you need the Insert ribbon, SmartArt button. In older Office versions, you will get a small dialogue window (the Diagram Gallery), where you can decide what type of diagram you want to work with. In Office 2007, you'll find yourself at the "Choose a SmartArt Graphic" dialogue window. Select a diagram type and click OK. Instantly, a blank diagram of the type you chose will appear in your file and the Diagram toolbar will open. In Office 2007, you'll find that instead of a toolbar, you get two ribbons with all of your options: Design and Format. At this point, you probably have noticed that the diagram has a whole lot of "click to add text" positions. This is where you can get busy entering your information. Things such as font and text size can be altered using the usual methods. You can easily add text positions, change diagram types, set text wrapping options, change the coloring of the diagram and other items through the toolbar. It's a pretty easy toolbar to use and I'm sure that, with a little bit of experimenting, you'll have a handle on it. For those of you using older Office versions, there's one thing I feel I should point out to you. When the diagram is placed into your file, it's fairly large. I suppose that's good for easy insertion and editing of your information, but I bet that once it's ready to go, you may want a new size. Well, this is where I found the Layout button on the Diagram toolbar to be very valuable. I chose the Scale Diagram choice to make big size changes, mostly shrinking the diagram to fit within my document. Other size changes I tried to make without the toolbar were very minimum and if you're embedding the diagram into some text, you probably don't want it to be quite that big. At any rate, when you're done, you can click outside the diagram to get back to the rest of your file. This is definitely an easy way to give your information a powerful punch. Plus, you know what they say: a picture is worth a thousand words! ~ April

New items are added daily and the items are so fun and unique, you're bound to find that little something special you've been looking for! Check it all out here: http://auctions.worldstart.com/index.php Great Deals From Our Store... Our LOWEST Price EVER!!! WOW - 4 GIG Flash Drives - Just $28.97!!! Is That Unreal Or What?!?! Oh, and get this - these aren't second rate drives, they're PQI drives so you know they're top of the line, and they have a lifetime warranty! I personally just love these things! I use them for transporting photos, backing up important files, transferring large files - or large numbers of files. It's really handy for bringing files from work to home (and vice versa) ~ I finally got my husband to start using one and he can't believe how simple they are to use and how much easier it makes "transporting" files! These have replaced the floppy and frankly I think they are probably putting a pretty good dent into CD-R and DVD-R sales! Why burn a disk when you can use these? I can't even remember the last time I burned a disk for anything! I back up all my important files right to one of these! Oh, and setup is soooo easy! For XP or Vista computers, you just plug it and you're good to go. The drive will show up under My Computer. Just drag the files over you want to put on the drive! That's it! Here's my favorite feature on this drive... it's "lidless" so you don't lose the cap (like I do all the time). The cover just slides over (while still attached) so you can easily access the USB port and then easily close it back up for storage! I'm so happy about this, I know I've ruined more than one flash drive while it was floating around in my bag without the cover ;-( Again, the price is AMAZING, so now's the time to buy! Just $28.97 and US shipping is FREE! $50-$70 retail!! It's crazy not to grab a few a this kind of price! Here's the link: http://store.worldstart.com/product.php?productid=3697 PS - We're not sure how long our inventory is going to last on these as it is a limited quantity deal! So, get to the site as soon as you can ~ as usual, first come, first served!! Hey USB Users! Did you miss this earlier this month? Wow, we found an AWESOME USB hub - this has been selling like CRAZY! This expands a single USB port to seven! Not only that, it's also a powered unit, so big devices like scanners, printers, webcams, etc. run perfectly!  It's been my experience that you can never (and I mean NEVER) have enough places to plug in USB accessories. It's not a matter of if you'll need more space, it's a matter of when. Well, this handy unit solves that problem with ease. I liked this so much, I decided to use it at home. Wow, what a difference - I can't believe how much I like this thing! No more wiggling around on the floor fighting with wires for me :-) Oh, and setup is a breeze. Just plug it in and it's ready to go. That's all there is to it! Everyone who tries a USB hub says the same thing - "Wow, what a difference - I can't believe how much I love this thing! Instead of crawling around on the floor swapping plugs every 10 minutes, I can have ALL my toys plugged in at once!" As if all that wasn't enough, we have about the best price on the planet on these right now - just $18.97 and FREE US Shipping! This has a list price of $49.99, so it's a fantastic deal! Check it out: http://store.worldstart.com/product.php?productid=3943 PS - OK, VERY limited quantities on this. We do tend to run out of stuff, so be sure to get to the site before these are all gone! Turn Your PS/2 Port into a USB Port! OK, I know this isn't the most exciting thing we've ever offered, but it's one of those things that when you need it, you just can't seem to find it. Besides, if you have a USB keyboard, why waste a USB port on it? Just grab one of these and plug it into that unused PS/2 port on the back of your computer! No performance difference, but you'll gain a USB port! Have you ever wanted to plug in a card reader, MP3 Player, or anything else that is USB compatible, but all you have is a PS/2 Port? This adapter is perfect. You no longer have to unplug your printer, scanner, etc. to plug something else in. Just plug this into that unused PS/2 Port and an instant USB Port is ready for ya! If you have an empty PS/2 port then you've gotta grab this adapter. It's not a matter of if you'll use, but when! We always need an extra USB port at sometime, especially with everything becoming USB compatible. This is an incredible deal, just $4.97 and US Shipping is FREE! Stop wasting space and put that PS/2 port to work! http://store.worldstart.com/product.php?productid=2358
Stop Working So Hard If you're a Vista user, every once in awhile, you may notice that your hard drive is working extra hard for what seems like no reason. When that happens, it's likely that a background process has taken your hard drive hostage, forcing it to thrash loudly as it struggles to keep up with the high rate of reads and writes. Therefore, your computer responds slowly as the process overloads the physical limitations of your drive. What a mess! So, what are you supposed to do? Well, the solution is rather simple, but it can be a little tricky at times. First, you need to identify and stop the process that is overworking your drive. There are two methods you can use to do just that. Let's check them out, shall we?! Method #1 1.) To begin, click on the Start button and type "reliability" into the search box. Next, click on the Reliability and Performance Monitor shortcut. 2.) On the main screen of that, click on the Disk section down arrow to see a list of all the processes and files that are writing or reading from your drives. 3.) Next, click on the Read or Write headings to sort out all of the disk operations so that you can start to identify which process or file is currently using the disk the most. Method #2 1.) First, visit Microsoft’s Sysinternals Web site here and download the Process Explorer. 2.) After you have started the Process Explorer, click on the View menu and choose Select Columns. 3.) Next, click on the Process Performance tab and checkmark the following:
4.) Hit OK. 5.) You will now see the new columns listed for each process. To identify which process is killing your hard drive, just look for the process with the highest number of Reads or Bytes. That's all there is to it. Just choose which method you think will work best for you and then go to town! ~ Ramachandran Kumaraswami If you enjoy our tips, tell your friends.

Tiny Spell I'm telling you, it feels really good to hunt down downloads for our readers and bag a winner! This may be one of the most useful downloads I have ever found. I loved this little gem from the moment I misspelled my first file (which was about five seconds after the install!) It's called Tiny Spell, but what it does isn't tiny at all. Tiny Spell can correct your spelling in any application within Windows. That's huge! So, if you're working in a program that doesn't support MS Word, you can still have confidence knowing you're spelling everything right. No more dumping a word into a Word document just to see if it is spelled correctly. With Tiny Spell's simple to use interface, you'll cruise through misspelled words easily and quickly. Tiny Spell sits in your system tray and turns from white to yellow when it recognizes an incorrectly spelled word. A quick click on the icon and a list of possible spelling choices pops up. Highlight the correct entry and you're on your way. I find it easier to use this "on the fly" in Word than the actual built in spellchecker. You can even add words to Tiny Spell's database that it may not be familiar with and it will then recognize them in the future. This really is a great program and I'm sure if you're like me, you'll get your money's worth out of it! Of course, it's free, but the creator will take donations though, if any of you feel so inclined. The information for that is in the Help file in Tiny Speller. Now, go on and enjoy the safety net that Tiny Spell can provide for you! You can download Tiny Spell for yourself right here. Enjoy! ~ Chad For stories, jokes, quotes and cartoons every day, sign up for our Just for Grins newsletter. An odd topic, I know, but who doesn’t enjoy a nice bathroom?! We have a McDonald’s in town that was just newly renovated and it has a nicer bathroom than I have in my house! I have to admit, I’m proud that Jungle Jim’s in Fairfield, Ohio took the number one slot for 2007. They are really neat! The outside looks like a port-a-potty, but inside, there are really lovely restrooms. They even have a sign in the store announcing their number one status! If you go to the ABR Hall of Fame link on the right side menu, you will see the top five listings for each year from 2002 to 2007. After each one’s name, you’ll find a link to some pictures. Just click the See It Here link to get to the pictures. You’ll also get a description of the location on that page. Whether it's an awesome gas station restroom or a restroom in a five star restaurant, if it's nice and it's located in the U.S., it can be nominated for the "Best Restroom" award. Do you know of a public restroom you’d like to nominate? If you do, just click the Nominate a Restroom link on the right side menu. All you have to do is fill out the form. The fields are Name, E-mail Address, Location City, Location Building, Location Contact, Contact Phone or E-mail, What Makes This Restroom Special and What Do You Look For in a Restroom? When you're done, click the Submit Nomination button and you’ll be good to go. Don’t have a specific restroom in mind? That’s okay too! You can still take the Restroom Survey also located on the right side menu. Just answer the questions to the best of your ability and click Submit Survey. One of the things I hate when you go into a public restroom is that the sinks are sopping wet all over! You may want to bookmark this Web site so that you can vote in the finalist ranking for 2008. Once all the nominations are collected, they release the top 15 to the Internet for a public vote. Way to go, Jungle Jim's! http://www.bestrestroom.com/index.html ~ Amanda Do you have a cool, non-commercial site that you want to share?
