Attention XP Users!!

All I can say is "WOW!" We had a fantastic response to our Professor Teaches Windows XP offer yesterday! Thanks to the hundreds (and hundreds) who ordered!

If you somehow missed out on this, we still have a few left. I'm not sure how long these are going to last though. If you want in on this deal, it would be a really good idea to get to the site soon.

Again, this CD is crammed with tips, tricks, advice, and how-to simulations. It makes learning both basic and advanced topics a snap - and has over 400 of these topics listed in its index! Let me tell, ya, there is a TON of great stuff on this CD and it's a must for any Windows XP user.

The lessons are fantastic. They use audio, images, and interactive simulations to teach you what you need to know. You can even test your knowledge with quizzes! Just pick the topic you want to learn about and do it - it's that simple.

Rather than just watching a video or reading text, you are actually using your mouse and keyboard to "try" the technique. You practice it first, so if you do something wrong you're not messing up your computer. It's like having Bill Gates sitting next to you! It's fantastic!

The price on this is only $12.97 and US shipping is FREE! When you think about the expense of your computer and operating system, isn't it worth $12.97 to be able to make the most of your eXPerience? Get rid of the frustration and make your computer fun again. Give it a try, you'll be glad you did :-)

PS - We have been selling out a lot lately, and this is headed that direction (fast). If you want in on this deal, get to the site right now. Remember, if you're not 100% happy, we'll give you a refund! Nothing to lose, unless you wait.

Q:
What is a cache?

A:
Hello, I'm Johhny Cache! Sorry, I couldn't help it cuz I was wearing black today, plus this will remind you to say it the right way.

Cache files are used to store information on a temporary basis for quick access. The physical location of this can be either on a hard drive or in RAM memory.

The idea behind it is to store information the computer is probably going to need in a location that's quick and easy to access. Since it can get to needed information quicker, the computer runs faster.

Tip of the Day

Better Browsing

Have you ever been at a site and saw a link you wanted to follow? You almost click the link, but then decide that you want to finish looking through the web page you're currently on. What should you do?

Next time you're faced with the question above, right-click the link you want to follow and select Open in New Window from the resulting menu (you can also hold down the SHIFT key while you left-click). A new browser window will open and display the new page.

I use this trick all the time when I'm hunting around for information. For example, when I'm using a search engine, I'll do the "Open in a new window" trick each time I see a link that looks relevant. It's great to have the rest of your search results ready and waiting for you when you're finished exploring a link!

Amanda's Cool Site of the Day

Whale Net

Whale Net focuses on whales and marine research. The page comes in four different languages as well. Whether you are a student, a teacher, or just curious you can easily enjoy surfing through this site.

I highly recommend taking the Whale Net tour. It will give you a nice overview of the site features and it is well put together. Follow the links and have fun. I also think you’ll enjoy the satellite tracking section. Dive in!
