Newsletters February 10th Are you using your Palm to the fullest? con't... Is networking in your future? con't...
There is help out there limiting these little pesky buggers. There are many programs that can prevent the ads from popping up and getting in the way. They are called "Pop-up Blockers" and they work very well. They will block any new window that pops up while on the Internet. They work on Macs and PCs. Though there are many times when pop-up boxes can be very annoying,
many times there are pop-up boxes that are supposed to pop-up when you
are visiting a site. If there is a pop-up blocker installed, the next
box will not materialize leaving the surfer puzzled as to what is happening.
This issue is for backup and just one form of backup. There are many forms of backup storage. However there is one form that is inexpensive and very easy to perform and is most likely on your computer right now. That is your CD-RW drive (Compact Disk - Re- Writable). If you have not backed up your documents folder, photos, financial data or your client base, do it now. It is very easy to do. Every computer that has a CD-RW software package that came with the drive. If you do not know where it is, you may want to ask your kids about it. They may burn CD music on the drive. Or if you have Microsoft Windows XP, it automatically comes with the drag-and-drop file-burning feature. There are two common CD-RW burning programs, Roxio Easy CD Creator and Nero CD Rom burner. They are both easy to use and both have a wizard to help you through. The items to back up most are Quicken, Quickbooks, Act data, Email address book and the "My Documents" folder. I have seen many people loose data that could not be simply put back again. So make it a priority to do it this week. If there are any questions please call me so I can help you out.
Are you using your Palm to the fullest? con't... Syncing up to Microsoft Word documents, it With the new ACTLink software it is a snap to sync it up to your ACT
Client database software. There will never be a missed appointment due
to that my palm V always reminds me of an appointment well before it
happens.
Is networking in your future? con't... The second reason is that anyone can print to a printer from any computer in the house or office. With routers that have a built-in print server, the printer is connected to the router instead of another computer. How many times have you sent a print job to the printer and found that nothing printed out because the computer that the printer is connected to was off. This way the print server is always on and will always accept your print job. Third reason is sharing files. How many times have you worked all day on a report and had to save it onto a floppy to take it to another computer? Or how many times have you had to move a large file to another computer and it was too big for a floppy? Networking gets rid of all this cumbersome problem. Fourth reason is for data storage and back up is much easier. If everyone
in your office is saving files that are important enough to back up,
then everyone will have to back up their own files. That is a nightmare
to keep track of and administer. However if all files were on one computer
and everyone is saving data to one general area on the file server,
back up would be much easier and efficient. Makes sense?
Tech Tip Corner If you do not see any responce there is something wrong. Try powering down the computer, unplugging the cable box and router, if you have one, for two minutes and then plugging it back in. This will reset itself and you should be on your way again. If that does not do it, refer to tech support for help.
