Plus, we have our "Buy 3 and get 15% off" deal this week so you can save even more. Wait till you see what we have! Try not to trip over each other on the way to the site :-)

Here they are! Grab 'em all!!

# 1 - Print Shop Select 12 + 10,000 clipart pack - This is an incredible buy. It's basically PrintShop 12 just not as much clipart! You can create banners, booklets, business cards, greeting cards, letterhead, photo albums, report covers, labels, postcards, and TONS more! Considering PrintShop retails for $49.95, this is a fantastic deal!

# 2 - Britannica Ready Reference 2003 - Wow, this is a deal. This encyclopedia includes 25,000 articles, 1500 photos, hundreds of maps, illustrations, and more. It has a fantastic search engine, super research assistant, and the full version of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (that alone goes for $30.00)! Plus it's the 2003 version! Can you believe it?

# 3 - Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing - This is the #1 typing program on the planet. If you want to type better (don't we all? :-) then this is for you. It's really well done and really easy to work with. Stop hunting and pecking! Save serious time and become a fantastic typist! For $6.97, how can you go wrong?

# 4 - Calendar Creator 8 - What perfect timing! With the year almost at an end, now's the time to create your own calendars for next year using your very own photos! What a super way to create a gift friends and family will enjoy all year long! Even add your own important dates to it! Great!

# 5 - Body Works 6 - This is a long time favorite of mine. It's kind of like an interactive medical encyclopedia. View 3D rotating models (80 of 'em!), browse through high-resolution images, or expand your knowledge with multi-media presentations (those are really cool). It also features 100,000+ medical definitions and covers over 1500 topics. A must have!

# 6 - Family Tree Maker 9 (single CD version) - If you want to create a family tree, there's nothing better. This software is both easy to use and allows you to create very professional looking records and family histories. You should see the scrapbooks you can make! If you can't afford the 20 CD set, this is a fantastic alternative!

Q:
I have an old program that runs in DOS. When I start it up, the MS DOS window is too small. Is there a way to make it full screen?

A:
Yes. Hold down your Alt key and hit Enter. To go back to "regular" size, use the Alt+Enter combination again.

Tip of the Day

Folder Views

Ever notice that it seems like some folders are shown with big icons, some are shown as a list, and some are listed with file information? Want to set all your folders to view the same way? Here's how:

1. Open the My Computer icon on your desktop (or from your Start menu if you are using Windows XP).

2. Using the View menu, set the folder to the way you want all your folders to be. For example, if you're like me, you want to see all file info. So, I selected the View menu, Details.

Next, set your icon arrangement. Using the View menu, click the Arrange Icons item and select your favorite sort order. I personally prefer "By Type."

3. OK, now make all your little folders act the same way. Click the View menu (or Tools menu, depending on your version of Windows) and select Folder Options. Click the View tab and click the "Like Current Folder" or "Apply to all folders" button. It will ask you for confirmation, click Yes. Finally, press the OK button and you're all set.

To give it a test run, open any folder on your C: drive, it should look exactly the way you want it to.
