PC Video Camera - WOW - What A Response!

We knew the Argus PC Video Camera / Web Cam was going to be a good offer, but had no idea it was going to sell this fast! Not only were people buying it for themselves, they were grabbing extras for friends and family! One lady said she was going to stop typing and start sending videos!

It's looking like a sell out for sure! Here's the description again if you missed it yesterday:

This little PC Cam lets you create regular videos using your computer, do video e-mail (really fun and our favorite use for this), video conferencing, do video monitoring, use it as a web cam, and it even works with instant messengers! Need a still photo? It can do that too!

This color camera features a built in microphone, 30 frames per second video, adjustable focus, and connects to your computer with a USB cable (included). The camera setup is a snap and using it is very easy. Just run the software, point the camera at your subject, and press record!

You not only get the camera, but also cool video and photo software too! You can edit, splice, add text, add transitions, and more! It's great!

Why pay $50-$100 for a web cam? We can sell these to you for just $29.97ea with FREE US shipping! If you've ever wanted a good web cam, but didn't want to pay the high price, this is just what you've been looking for! Check it out:

Q:
When I go to Favorite in Internet Explorer I only see a few of my favorite sites listed. Is there a way to see all of them?

A:
Newer versions of Internet Explorer use a Favorites menu that "remembers" the sites you visit the most. So, when you click your Favorites menu, you may only see 5 or 6 of your favorite sites and need to click the little double-V looking thing (see picture below) at the bottom of the menu in order to see the rest.

Personally, I kind of like the feature, but I know that some people don't. So, if you want to make your favorites menu show you all your favorites all the time, do the following:

1. Open Internet Explorer and hit the Tools menu, Internet Options.

2. Click the Advanced tab and look for an entry called "Enable Personalized Favorites Menu." Just uncheck it and your Favorites menu should go back to showing you everything.

Tip of the Day

Use Internet Explorer To Open Files

If you're like me, you always have a web browser open. Well, if that browser is Internet Explorer, you could be doing more with it than just surfing the web!

Internet Explorer can also open all sorts of files. Just drag and drop a file into your Internet Explorer window and watch it open. I use this all the time for looking at JPEG's and GIF's since it takes a lot less time to load IE than it does my imaging software.

In addition, it can also open text files, Outlook e-mails, and even MS Office documents (sorry, you still need to have MS Office on your computer for that to work).

Not enough for ya? You want more?

Well, try dragging a folder to an open IE window. It will list all the items in the folder for you!

Drag & Drop:

After:



So, next time you need take a quick look-see at a file or folder, just drag and drop it to Internet Explorer! Its usually much faster than opening the file with its native application, plus you look really cool if someone is watching you do it (never underestimate the "wow" factor :-)

Amanda's Cool Site of the Day

Negro Spirituals

This site is a treasure chest of information, not to mention organized and brilliant. You will find the history of spirituals, actual songs, singers, and composers. A site that also has useful links to other history sites and a search engine.

One of the neatest parts is when you’re checking out the different sections, for example: The Composers. You can actually click to hear a song they wrote. This also works in the Song section as well. It really brings this wonderful art to life.

This one is a gem for anyone at any age. Enjoy!
