 "That Label! It's Perfect!"

That's what people will be saying when you take advantage of our CD Labeling Kit offer! We had lots of orders on Friday and throughout the weekend for this, and we still have a few left. Be sure to get yours before we run out :-)

Again, this is a complete kit with a really cool CD labeling tool that gets the label on the CD perfectly every time. No wrinkles, bubbles, bumps, or off-centers. If you label your CDs, it's a must have.

In addition, it also includes some of the best CD label software I've ever played with, plus a set of labels to get you started.

It's a fantastic combo, and I highly recommend it. I know I won't be messing up any more CD labels thanks to this one! 

The price on this is only $18.97, and US shipping is free. Just think, after you get this, no more CDs wasted from a bad labeling job! Check out our sample photos on the site. Click the link below now for more info:

How To Get This Mouse For FREE

We've just received another order of patriotic mice. These are a standard ball mouse with a scroll wheel (gotta love those scroll wheels). They work really well and have a great feel to them.

If you order 3 or more products this week, we'll throw one into your order for FREE! Is that cool or what? However, quantities are limited and we're only able to do this while our current supply lasts. (Note - your shopping cart won't show the free mouse, but we will send it to you as long as we have them :-)

So, if you want to start shopping, head to our main store page. We have lots of great new titles and lots of stuff on sale. Check it out:

If you just want the mouse, you can do that too. They are on sale for only $8.97, and US shipping is free. Here's the link:

Computers 101

Q:
I wanted to add a recordable DVD drive to my computer. What is the difference between DVD-R and DVD+R?

A:
As DVD recording comes of age and the prices come down, more of us will likely be adding DVD writers to our computers. But what gives with these dueling formats?

Anyone who was around twenty years ago might remember the battle between the two video tape formats: VHS (Victor Home System) and Betamax (Sony). Fast forward to the twenty-first century and we have a similar battle of the formats with DVD.

The disks are pretty much the same, but the writing process is different. DVD+R is a bit more advanced, but the disks often cost more than the older DVD-R format.

My suggestion? Pay the extra bucks for a writer that supports both formats or wait until the dust settles.

Tip of the Day

Have you ever gotten something forwarded to you with hundreds of e-mail addresses in the header? If so, your e-mail address may be getting unintentionally passed all over the net. When you send an email to everyone in your address book you risk making them vulnerable to "spammers".

To avoid exposing the addresses of your friends to all of cyberspace, send mass mailings as Blind Carbon Copies (BCC). E-mail privacy is just a few clicks away. Here's what you do...

When you create or forward an e-mail in Outlook Express you usually click on "To:->" and make selections from your address book. If you look down, you'll see other options: "Cc:->" and "Bcc->". Simply highlight the addresses you want to send to and click "Bcc:->".

When you finish your selections, click OK and you will return to the New Message window where you can type your e-mail. Put your own address in the "To:->" field.

If composing or forwarding an e-mail in Netscape Mail, open your address book in the menu at the top (the icon looks like a plus sign on an index card with a little person standing next to it).

Then, select names from your address book and click "Bcc->" to add the names to your list.

Click OK and you will return to the composition window where you can type your message.

Put your own address in the "To->" field and everyone who receives the email will only see your address, and not the other 275 people you sent the message to.
