Email hints!
Do you hate to get email with FWD FWD FWD on them? Don't you hate those that you have to open up 10 times just to get to the email with the joke? How about the 3-line joke with 40 lines of other email addresses it has already been sent to!

Here's how you can forward a message and NOT do that to your buddies!

1. Don't click forward on the first email. Open them all until you actually get to the joke or whatever is in the email. Click forward from THAT window.

2. Before you send an email that you are forwarding, highlight all of the junk that you don't need to forward and click cut! THEN, click send.

Your buddies will thank you and you can pass this along to them!

Downloading.....a little confused?
Everything seems to be available for download off of the internet. Almost every site you visit offers something to download. With all of this downloading, things can get a little confusing. It is best to stay organized, even when it comes to this issue. Creating a new folder on your desktop named "Downloads" is a great way to get started. Each time you download a file or program and it asks you where you want to save it, save it in your "Downloads" folder right on your desktop. Then, when you wish to run the program or view the file, it's as easy as a double-click on your folder and there are all the files you have downloaded.

To call or not to call......

Even after hours, all of our technical support numbers are directed to answering machines, so be sure to leave a message including your name, phone number, and a brief description of the trouble you are having. Our technical support staff makes callbacks after hours. So, give us a ring!
