We heard that a lot yesterday. Yes, this is for real and there's no catch. It's a special promotional deal that we were lucky enough to get in on. So, if you're worried about it, don't be. Sometimes good deals come along - this is one of those times!

Besides, we do have that 30 day satisfaction guarantee. If you don't think it's as good as I say, we'll take it back.

Computers 101

Q:
I've downloaded some software and installed it. Am I safe to delete the setup program?

A:
Usually. If it was a .ZIP file, you're normally safe. If it was an .EXE file, make sure it's only a setup program and not the actual program itself (in most cases, it's only a setup program).

Here's why:

The way most setup programs work is they are a "package" for the program and its associated files. It installs the program and files to where they belong then it just sits there. Taking up space. Once the installation procedure is over, you no longer need the program.

HOWEVER - Make sure that if something happens to your computer you'll be able to re-download the software should you need to re-install it. If there is any question about the future availability of the software, it may be a better idea to save the file to a floppy disk, zip disk, or CD-R / RW before you delete it.

Tip of the Day

EZ Reading

Web Link - http://www.worldstart.com/tips/ezread.htm

Have you ever been to a web page that had dark text on a dark background? It happens. Sometimes a background doesn't load right and sometimes it just bad design, plain and simple. Either way, it's hard to read.

Well, next time that happens to you, hit CTRL-A.

All the text on the website will be selected (highlighted). The selection color is normally blue with white text. Much easier to read then, say, a dark red on a black background.
