 | Print Your Hardware Have you ever wondered what all your computer has in terms of hardware? I'm talking about everything from the motherboard to ports to controllers to drives and every other resource your computer uses to help you get your work done. Well, if you've ever wanted a compiled list of that information, today is your lucky day, because that's exactly what I'm going to show you. Let's go! It's very easy to print out a list of your hardware right through your computer's Device Manager (which is the utility that holds all of the information about the devices, etc. on your computer). To open the Device Manager, right click on the My Computer icon on your desktop and choose Properties. From there, click on the Hardware tab and then hit the Device Manager button. You will then see a list of all the services on your system. Now, you must click on one of the items to highlight it. Then just go up to the Action menu and hit Print. When the print job is done, you will probably have at least two pages, if not more, worth of listings for your computer's hardware information. Depending on your computer, you will probably have a list of your hardware, then a memory summary, a port summary, a system summary and a disk drive summary. Once you're done looking over everything, make sure you keep it in case you ever need to refer back to it. You may want to do a print out of this every so often as well, just so you have an updated list at all times! ~ Erin It's Friday, it's Friday! Make sure you keep reading to learn all about a brand new Web browser called Flock, find out what the F12 function key can do for you in various MS Office programs and learn all about how you can put a stop to instant messaging spam. Also, be sure to check out the Friday Funnies for your daily laugh and as always, don't miss out on Amanda's Cool Site of the Day. Enjoy and have a great weekend, everyone! : )
Got A Hard Drive? Then GET THIS! The Ultimate Hard Drive Upgrader! Dirt Cheap Deal Too! Oh, WOW!! - I'm really excited about this one! It's a new title for us called Copy Commander and just wait till you see what this does! This software makes it one-click easy to upgrade to a bigger, badder hard drive! Check this out: OK, so we all come to the point where out current hard drive is either 1) Too Small or 2) Getting old or 3) Too slow. When that happens, it's time to upgrade to a new, faster, and BIGGER hard drive right? Well, easier said than done - TILL NOW! With this software, you simply connect your new drive, then pop this into CD into your computer and reboot. The CD runs and with a click or two, you copy ALL the info from your old drive onto your new one! Yup, all your programs, settings, preferences, data - ALL of it - perfectly copied to the new drive! Just like that you've turned the nightmare of getting a new hard drive into a sweet dream! I love programs like this - they do one thing and do it extremely well! Since a new hard drive is is pretty much everyone's future, why not have the idea program for the upgrade? I've NEVER seen ANY program that made it this SIMPLE to upgrade to a new hard drive! Oh, and this is fantastic for doing complete backups too! Think about it - pop in a hard drive and make a perfect copy! Then take the copy out and store it someplace safe! If disaster strikes, you just swap drives and you're good to go again! What about the price? Well, be glad you're a subscriber to this newsletter! You get it for just $9.97 and US shipping is FREE! Is that amazing or what? This is the current version and it sells all day long for $34.95 on other sites! Get yours while you can: http://store.worldstart.com/product.php?productid=4113 PS - We all have to upgrade our hard drives from time to time. Why not make it as easy as possible? For this price, it's crazy not to have a copy of this one! YES! YOU Can Do It! Learn A New Language! New Software Makes It Easy!! I'm Using It And LOVE IT!! Our BEST Price EVER Too!!! OH, WOW! Have you ever wanted to learn Spanish or German If so, then we have a deal you'll love! We have a fantastic new language series that includes each one of the above! Oh, and these are absolutely great! VERY thorough and easy to follow along with. Easily the best language software we've ever run across! Will take you from the very basics up to an intermediate level. First off, this really covers the basics. It doesn't just teach you the words, but shows you the phonetics of the language. You can browse the alphabet and hear how the letters are supposed to sound in your new language - this alone was an eye-opener to me! It also covers various vowel usage and gives you a really good idea of how to pronounce a new word when you see it! Excellent! Oh, and just wait till you see the lessons! These are fantastic! For example, one of the lessons I was trying allows me to watch and listen to a conversation. Then, the next step took and analyzed each word and phrase so I could learn what was actually said in the conversation. You could even "adjust" the conversation with different phrases! I've never seen it done that way before, but it was really a great way to learn! Plus, if you hook up a microphone to your computer, you can compare your pronunciation to a native speaker! Just say the word or phrase and the little gauge will show you if you sound like a tourist, native speaker, or somewhere in between. It's an excellent way to test what you've learned! As if that wasn't enough, just wait till you try the interactive games and puzzles! This really makes learning your new language a blast! You find yourself excited about learning more so you can do better at all the fantastic games and quizzes! My best recommendation for this software? Here it is - I've been wanting to learn the basic of Spanish now for awhile, but never got to doing it. Well, this software is going to change all that! I was so impressed with it the first time I used it I decided to stick with it and give it a go. I've been using it for several days now (about a half hour a day) and I'm really getting into it. It's a lot of fun and I'm surprised at how fast I seem to be picking it up. I'm not ready to have a big conversation or anything yet, but I can ask for basic items and fumble my way easy stuff (meet and greet, order at restaurants, ask for bathrooms, communicate the basics at airports, you know, your basic travel scenarios). It's really great and I can't recommend it highly enough! OK, now for the price. These are just $10.97 each and US shipping is FREE! It's a fraction of the cost of going to class, and you can do it at home in your spare time. Why not give it a try? I know I really love it! Take a look: Spanish: German:

Q: A: So, tell me, do you use such social networks as Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter and so on? If you do, Flock is going to be perfect for you! Basically, Flock's mission is to bring all of your social networks right into your Web browser. With everything integrated together, you're able to have a more fulfilled browsing experience. When using Flock, you're able to stay connected and up to date with all of your favorite networks, as well as, browse the Internet just like you would with any other Web browser. Here's a direct quote from Flock's Web site that sums their service up quite well: "When using Flock, people can easily discover, access, create and share videos, photos, blogs, feeds and comments across social communities, media providers and popular Web sites." As you can see, you can do just a little bit of everything with Flock! It's no secret that everyone has their own preferences when it comes to the Web sites they enjoy, so the people at Flock wanted to give their users a more personal experience. Once you start using Flock, you'll be in complete control of your favorite sites and you'll be able to stay connected with all of them at once. For example, let's say you're an avid YouTube and Facebook user. You check those two Web sites everyday, no matter what. With that being said, wouldn't it be easier to view both of those sites at the same time, all from the same place? Well, that's what you can do with Flock! Yep, you just go to the Flock site instead and everything will be waiting for you there. How cool is that?! Once you're part of Flock, you'll still be connected with all of your friends from your favorite networks and you can stay up to date on any changes that may occur. Flock also introduces an easy drag and drop method you can use to share photos, videos, text and favorite links with your friends. Flock gives you the power to "express yourself" any way you please! And as for constant updates, Flock will inform you when you have new messages or comments, when your friends post new photos or videos and when your favorite sites change their content. You won't miss a thing! Flock also comes with your very own Community, which includes a blog, a forum, information on how you can tell your friends about Flock, Flock Art and so on. There are also several extensions you can download for an even better browsing experience. Now, just for some extra information, Flock was founded in 2005 and they have offices in both Mountain View, CA and Victoria, British Columbia. They have close to 40 employees as well, which I thought was pretty cool! Now, if you'd like to start using Flock, all you have to do is download it (it's free!), which you can do right here. Flock works with Windows, Mac and Linux, so just choose your system and follow the download instructions. It's a pretty quick download, so you won't have to wait too long! One more thing: If you need any help along the way, just click on the Support link and you'll find a Getting Started page, an FAQ section and a User's Guide. So, if you would like an easier browsing experience, I urge you to try Flock. It truly is the "next big thing" when it comes to a Web browser. Check it out and join the Flock today! ~ Erin Have a question for the newsletter? Submit it at the link below: F12 Finesse Here's a quick tip for any readers who love to use the function keys! It turns out the F12 key is very versatile in MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Interested in its abilities? Was that a "yes" I heard? Then let's take a look and see what it does!
Now, I realize there are other key combinations that will accomplish these same things, but for those of you who learn better when it all revolves around a single key, this one's for you! ~ April

Cutting Down on IM Spam As you have probably figured out, living in an electronic age has its downsides, with one of them being swamped by unwanted e-mail in our Inboxes. Those who indulge in such an act are called spammers and they are growing by the minute, making our lives much more difficult. There are several different kinds of spam going around the Internet these days, but one of the most recent is instant messenger (IM) spam. What that means is that even if you prefer to be invisible to everyone in an IM program, spammers can get you anyway. Now, even if you can’t completely eradicate such a menace, there are ways of bringing down their frequency. Here are a few simple steps you can follow to secure yourself from this new type of spam brigade! Yahoo! Messenger First of all, you need to set your profile to "Adult" and remove yourself from being listed on Yahoo!'s public directory. This is how you do it: 1.) Log in to your profile by visiting this link. 2.) Once you're there, click Sign In and log in using the same username and password you use for Yahoo! Messenger. 3.) Click View My Profiles and then click Edit, located next to your Yahoo! ID. 4.) Next, click Edit Profile Information on the next page. At the bottom of that page, put a checkmark next to the option of "Designate this profile as an adult profile" and uncheck the option that says "Add this profile to the Yahoo! Member Directory." 5.) Click the Save Changes button when you're finished. How This Strategy Works When you set your profile to "Adult," spammers will have to physically log in to Yahoo! before they can harm you, so it acts as a good deterrent for spammers. Similarly, taking your profile off the Yahoo! Member Directory will make your profile almost invisible to spammers. And that's exactly what you want to do! Windows Live/Hotmail/MSN Based on the same anti-spam principle of Yahoo!, here your job is to change your profile from "Social" to "Just Me." Follow these easy steps to do just that: 1.) Go here and sign in with your Hotmail/MSN/Windows Live e-mail address and password (which is the same as your messenger log in). 2.) Next, click Profiles on the sidebar to your left. Go to the next page and click "Edit your shared profile." Then on the next page, click Social and next to Permissions, click "Anyone on the Internet." 3.) Checkmark the option of "Just Me" and then click the Save button to finish. All Other Instant Messengers Pidgin is a cross-platform multi-protocol instant messaging client that allows you to use all of your IM accounts at once. Pidgin is able to connect to every other chat service that exists in cyberspace. Some of them include AIM, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, Google Talk, ICQ, IRC, MySpaceIM, Sametime and Zephyr, among many others. Now, what you can do to protect yourself from being spammed over these instant messaging networks is to download Bot Sentry, which you can do right here. Bot Sentry is a Pidgin plug-in that allows you to ignore instant messages (IMs), unless the sender is in your Buddy List, in your Allow List or the sender correctly answers a question you have pre-defined, such as "How do you spell the number five?" If the answer is wrong, such users cannot contact you ever again. This works with all chat services that are connected to Pidgin. There you have it. I hope this one helps eliminate some of your IM spam problems. Be safe! ~ Zahid H. Javali If you enjoy our tips, tell your friends. That's what keeps this newsletter growing.
Friday Funnies For stories, jokes, quotes and cartoons every day, sign up for our Just for Grins newsletter. The quiz I'm bringing you today from Just Say Hi is called "How Many Colors Can You Name in Five Minutes?" It's so much fun! This quiz is truly a test of your recall abilities. To play, just start typing names of colors in the text box and hit Enter. There are 238 colors in total. When your time is up, a pop up box will appear that says, “Times up! Let’s see how you did!” On my first try, I got 37 out of 238. : ) The nice thing is, they list all of the colors that are in their database after your time is up so that you can see what you missed. If you scroll down beneath your results, you will find some other quizzes you can take. The quizzes (and my results) are: "How Many Countries Can You Name in Five Minutes?" (I managed to name 31), "How Geek Are You?" (I’m 80 percent) and some sillier quizzes like: "What Are Your Chances of Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse?" (41 percent) and "Synesthesia, Is Your Brain Wired for Creativity?" (73 percent!) After each quiz, you’ll find the code you need to post your results on your blog, journal or Web site. Just highlight the complete code and then copy and paste it wherever you want to put it. I had a lot of fun taking these quizzes and I hope you do too! http://www.justsayhi.com/bb/view2/colors ~ Amanda Do you have a cool, non-commercial site that you want to share?
