WOW! A $90 Photo Editing Program For Just $18.97!

And we had hundreds take advantage of it yesterday!

If you missed out, we still have some of the awesome Ulead PhotoImpact 7 programs available. Again, your price is just $18.97 (CD Only w/ full documentation in the help file) or $22.97 (Box and book) - free US shipping of course. It's an incredible deal on one of the best photo editing software packages available. I know I was really impressed with it and I've already started using it to "tune up" some of my photos.

Again, this includes just about every photo editing tool known to man (and woman :-), PLUS thousands of creative filters and effects. This software makes it easy to achieve the exact look you're going for! Put it this way - if you can't get your photo to look just right with this software, it probably can't be done! When it comes to photo editing, this really makes it easy to get incredible results!

Oh, and don't just take my word for it, check out these reviews:

Not only does it do a fantastic job in the photo editing dept, but it also includes one of the best photo albums I've ever worked with. In fact, I liked the album so much I've started using it to get my digital photos in order (860+) It's really easy to use and definitely makes sorting less tedious, maybe even a little fun (and I normally hate sorting photos). This alone is well worth the price of the software!

This is one of the best photo programs on the market and I highly recommend it. Don't miss out, we're down to our last couple hundred of these and I can't get more at this price. If you don't like it, you can always return it - the only way you lose is if you wait too long to order.

PS - Don't miss out, I can't believe how impressed I am with this software. It's well worth the original $89.95 MSRP, so getting it for as little as our $18.97 deal is phenomenal! Jump on this one, you won't regret it!

Q:
I heard that floppy drives are being fazed out. Is there a way to copy my floppies to cd?

A:
Dude, if your gettin' a Dell, chances are it won't have a floppy drive! The general manager of America's largest data storage manufacturer said earlier this year that within five years there won't be much of a market for floppies. Many options for data storage are on the market that have larger capacity than our familiar little disk: CD-R/RW, DVD, Flash Memory, portable hard drives, and USB keys (aka "thumb drives"). While most of of us still have floppy drives in our computers, now might be a good time to transfer them onto CD.

Here is the easiest way I found to copy your floppies to CD-R/RW...

1. Create a folder on your desktop. Click the folder and hit F2 to rename (give it a name that will remind you what is in the folder).

2. Open the floppy in your drive and hit Ctrl+A to select all. NOTE: Make sure that your folder option view is set to show hidden files (Tools/Folder Options/View, "Show hidden files and folders"), otherwise you might not copy all the files from the floppy.

3. Copy (Ctrl+C) the files then paste (Ctrl+V) into your new folder. This is a great time to "prune" any files you don't want to keep—do you REALLY need to keep that book report you wrote in 10th grade? If you create several folders, you could also sort the contents before you burn.

4. Now you are ready to burn your files to CD. In most cases it is as simple as dragging the folders into a frame in your CD burning program. For detailed generic information (kinda sounds like an oxymoron) on CD Burning, head on over to our How to Burn a CD tutorial...
http://www.worldstart.com/tips/file-management/howto-burn-a-cd.htm

The great thing is that the average floppy holds 1.44 MB of data, while a CD-R can hold 700 MB—that means you can fit about 486 floppies on 1 CD-R!

For XP users: after you select the files you want to transfer (or Ctrl+A), you can click "Copy the selected items" in the left hand column which opens a window where you can select where you want the files to go.From there you can send it to the new folder you created in step 1.

Tip of the Day

Change Your Email Display Name

Ever wish you could re-do the display name your e-mail program uses? Well, with some e-mail clients, you can (not AOL, sorry). I'll show you how to do it with Outlook Express and Netscape Messenger.

Here's how to do it with Outlook Express:

1. Click the Tools menu, Accounts...

2. Click (select) the account name you want to modify, then click the Properties button.

3. On the General Tab, you'll see a "Name" field. Type in your name changes and hit OK.

That's all there is to it for Outlook Express.

Here's how to do it in Netscape Mail (version 6)

With Netscape Mail running, do the following:

1. Click the Edit menu, Mail / News Account Settings.

2. The Account Settings screen should pop up. You should see your e-mail address on the left. Click that.

3. You should see an Identity section. The first field in there is called "Your Name". Change that to what you would like your display name to be and hit OK.

Well, that's it. Most other e-mail clients work in a similar manner.

Not as hard as you thought, huh?
