Announcements

WOW!

We sold hundreds of the BodyWorks programs last Friday and over the weekend (we knew we'd sell a lot, but this was even better than we anticipated!). We still have some available, so if you missed out, you can still grab this awesome title.

Again, it's only $8.97 w/ free US shipping! This excellent 3D medical encyclopedia normally retails for $39.95, so you're getting it for over 75% off.

For those who missed out, this is an interactive medical encyclopedia featuring 3D renderings that YOU can control. Want to rotate the heart around to see the bottom? Just grab it with your mouse and go to it! How about a look at the lungs from the back? Easy! If there's a part on the organ you want to know more about, point to it for a name, double-click it for more info!

It also features a virtual "teacher" that helps you learn, allows keyword searches, breaks things down in an easy to understand way, and tons more. It's by far the most popular medical title in our store and we have sold over 1000 since we first started offering it. Check it out, for $8.97 you can't go wrong:

Computers 101

Q:
I want to install a new printer. Do I need to remove my old one first?

A:
Nope. Windows supports multiple printers, so you can install the new printer without removing the old one. If you really want to ax the old one, click the Start button, Settings, Printers. Your printer screen will open up. Right-click the printer you want eliminated and select "Delete" from the resulting menu.

Just a FYI - If you have multiple printers installed and Windows isn't using the one you want as the default printer, fear not. Just right-click the one you want set as your default printer and select "Set as default" from the resulting menu.

Almost too easy, huh?

Tip of the Day

Organize Your Documents

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

Do you dump every file you create into your My Documents folder? Is it the digital equivalent to a messy 5 year old's room? Well, never fear, the computer cleaner is here! (And I can't believe I just said that, much less going to publish it.)

Anyhow, the best way to keep things organized is not to create any documents in the first place. Think about it - no docs, no mess. After all, you only got a computer to read this newsletter right? Right??

OK since that probably won't work for ya, let's go with the second best way. Try setting up sub-folders inside the My Documents folder. Make one for each "category" of document that you have.

For example, you could have a folder for letters, one for invoices, another for sales letters, and so on. It makes keeping track of stuff much easier. Here's how to set it up:

1. Click the Start button, Documents, My Documents (XP users, hit the Start button, My Documents). This should open your "My Documents" folder.

2. Create a new folder with an appropriate name (Right-click any blank area and select New, Folder from the resulting menu.)

3. Finally, drag any documents that belong in that folder to it. That's it. You can create as many of these little sub-folders under the "My Documents" folder as you need.

Oh, one final suggestion - you may want to make yearly folders too. For example, at the end of this year, make a folder called "2002 Docs". Then move everything you've made (folders and all) into that folder. Gives you a fresh start for the new year. (OK, so it's the Windows equivalent of shoving toys under the bed, but who cares? It works!)

Now, if only I could apply this technique to my daughter's room...
