Sorry About That...

We had a special yesterday, Canon's Photography Workshop and there were some problems with ordering prior to 9:00AM EST (the shopping cart wasn't taking credit cards). If you tried to order and couldn't get it to work, I do apologize for that. Things are back to normal now :-)

Despite the problems, we still had hundreds of orders for this product come in yesterday (thanks to all who ordered). If you missed out, now's your chance to get in on this deal. And yes, this works with ALL cameras - not just Canons.

Again, this is an interactive CD ROM that makes learning photography easy - no matter what type of camera you use! As I mentioned yesterday, I use to teach photography classes and I could have just given out this CD instead of having class - it's really a fantastic way to learn!

Have you ever wondered...

> How can I set my zoom lens so people look their best?
> What type of film should I buy?
> How do I make my landscapes look like postcards?
> Why don't my photos look as good as I thought they would?
> What's the best way to handle composition?
> What's the best time of day to take pictures?
> What's the best light for portraits?
> Why didn't my pictures turn out right?
> What kind of lens should I have for my camera?
> How can I get sharper pictures?
> How do you know the best angle to shoot from?
> How do you capture great action photos?
> What do the controls on my camera really do?
> How do I relax my subjects?
> Where should I have my subjects eyes in the photo?
> How do lenses really work?

And that's just a very small sample of the questions you'll have answered by this program! Again, if you want to take better photos, I can't recommend this software highly enough! I wish I could stop by your place and pop this CD in for you to see. I can talk about it all day long, but once you saw it, you'd understand why I'm so excited about this title!

This title is the brand new version and normally retails for $29.95. What's your price? You get it for half off - only $14.97 and US Shipping is FREE! Here's the link for more info:

Q:
Is there a way to empty my deleted e-mails from the Deleted Items bin all at once or do I have to do it just one at a time?

A:
Sounds like you're using Outlook or Outlook Express. If that's the case, just right-click the Deleted Items bin, Empty Deleted Items Folder. That'll do it. Most e-mail clients work in a very similar fashion - if they use a recycle bin type folder like Outlook Express does.

However - if your e-mail program doesn't have that handy little right-click-and-empty feature there may still be hope. Go into the Deleted Items folder (or the equivalent for your software) and hit CTRL-A. That should select everything in that folder. From there, just hit Delete.

What if you want to keep your deleted stuff that's less than, say, one week old? Well, you can do that too.

Click the oldest message and scroll down to the last one you want to remove. Next, hit your Shift key and click the message. Everything between the first e-mail you clicked and the last should be highlighted. A quick little tap of the Delete button and it's all over.

Finally, if you haven't emptied that deleted item folder for awhile, remember that it can get HUGE and take up a ton of hard drive space. So, empty regularly - and be careful not to delete important stuff - like this newsletter :-)

Tip of the Day

Wait! STOP! STOP!!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever clicked the wrong link while you were browsing? Don't you just hate that? You frantically try to get your mouse up to the Stop button before you end up at the wrong page, but you don't always make it. So, here are a few suggestions:

If you've clicked the wrong link and still have that left mouse button pressed down, just drag your pointer off the link to a blank spot and release. No harm done.

But what if you've already clicked the link and you're off to the wrong page? Is there any hope?

Yup, just hit your Escape key. That will stop your browser in it's tracks - it's also a good way to stop an onslaught of pop up windows, should you accidentally wander onto one of those kind of sites.
