"Watch" This!

Ohh, look at this!

Get a FREE Monopoly Collector's Watch when you buy Monopoly (CD ROM version of course). The price? Only $14.97! The retail on this without the watch is $49.95, this is one heck of a deal!

Isn't that cool? All for $14.97! (FREE US shipping too!)

OK, I know you've probably played the monopoly board game before, but this computer game makes it a lot more fun. It's full of lively animations, fun audio effects, commentary, and game play is much easier. And naturally the graphics are great!

As for opponents, you can choose to play against the computer, other people, or even over a network. You can use the standard board, select from 10 different city themes, or even create your own board with your own pictures!

My favorite part? I like the way it automatically keeps track of money, properties, and assets. No more misplacing that $500 bill ;-)

OK, what if you like to play by your own rules? You know, maybe you only let people have a certain number of hotels, perhaps your Free Parking Jackpot is $750, or maybe you would rather collect $400.00 when you pass GO (due to inflation and all). Well, this program lets you do it - plus a lot of other rule customizations. Very cool.

That's the overview. I am really impressed with this one and I've certainly had a lot of fun "testing" it over the past several days. Again, the price is only $14.97, US Shipping is FREE, plus you'll get a FREE Monopoly watch with your purchase. Everyone around here loves these watches, so be sure to order today!

HINT! - Note that quantities are limited on this deal - especially with the watch. If you want in on this, I recommend you stop reading the newsletter and get there now. We can't get a lot of these with watches, and once they're gone, that's it. (Remember the optical mouse?).

Q:
I accidentally blocked a sender with Outlook Express. How can I unblock him?

A:
First, for those who don't know, you can block senders with most e-mail software. When you "block" someone, all of the e-mail they send to you gets deleted as it comes in. In Outlook Express, just hit the Messages menu and select Block Sender to block the currently selected e-mail. Don't try this now though or you'll accidentally block me!

OK, so how do you unblock someone you've accidentally blocked?

In Outlook Express, go to the Tools menu, Message Rules, Blocked Senders.

Just highlight the person you want to unblock and hit the "remove" button.

PS - Most other e-mail software will allow you to block people either using a similar method or by using "filters." You can set these filters to automatically send messages to the recycle bin if you like.

Tip of the Day

Peek-A-Boo Windows

Ever have a window that has wandered partially off-screen? Not a big problem, unless you can't get to the title bar to move it. For example, what do you do if you have a window that gets its title bar hidden above the TOP of the screen? (It happens, sometimes due to a system error, sometimes due a change in screen resolution.) The problem is, you can't grab the title bar with your mouse to move the window. Don't worry, there's an easy way to move the darn thing. Here's how:

1. Make sure the window has focus (i.e. it's the active window).

2. Next, click Alt+Space and then press the letter M.

3. Now, use your arrow keys to move the window back to where you want it.

Amanda's Cool Site of the Day

Questionable Doctors

Here's a more serious site for you to visit today. I thought it was an important resource to share with all of you. This site is the only place on the web that has an accurate compilation of doctors who have been disciplined for "medical incompetence, mis-prescribing drugs, sexual misconduct, criminal convictions, ethical lapses and other offenses."

Please make sure the doctors you are seeing aren’t on this list. Just click "First Time Users" and choose your state under the free listing. This will take you to a search engine where you can input the first three letters of your doctor's last name to see if they are found on this list. It isn’t worth not knowing.

Warning: there are pay options on this site; however, I’m only suggesting you use the free options. If you want to pay to find more results, that is completely your choice
