Hello Everybody!

I know I've been silent for a while :).  I haven't been just sitting around, though; hope you all think t was worth the wait.  Let's just get right into "Things I learned on my Summer Vacation!!"  Kinda catchy, huh! :)

1.  Never go to the Zoo on half price Zoo day!!!  You'll get to know all the names and t-shirts of all the day-care centers located within a hundred miles.  A little crowded!  But the gorilla waved at me, and it was all worth it. <smile>

2.   The Titan roller coaster goes 85 miles per hour  and lasts 3 1/2 minutes.  This is traveling!!  We loved it!!  It only took 2 1/2 hours to get through the line.  Somehow,
this was all very worth it, because of the children, of course.

3.  On a more computer-related note, you can check your email on vacation at the local mall.  The Arlington mall had 10 computers with free internet access, waiting for
your convenience to access your "webmail" through your Internet Service Provider's homepage.  Find a link on your ISP's homepage that reads like "check your mail",
and you'll need to know your username and password.  "Word to the Wise", be absolutely sure that you log off (close) your webpage so that someone cannot come behind you and "also" check your mail.  You can reply to your email, as well as read it, and forward it.

What I've learned lately:

Recently, I have been experiencing an extraordinary amount of computer help requests from my website; I learned from one of the people that emailed me that an Internet
Web magazine , Web-user located at: http://www.web-user.co.uk/home/0,,,00.html

had my website featured on the "hints and tips" page:
http://www.web-user.co.uk/magazine/article/0,,58381,00.html

It's been so great for them to feature my website, internetguideandmore.com, but I am terribly behind in answering my correspondence.  So any of you that have emailed me in the last couple of weeks, please by patient; I will get back with you, I'm just a little overwhelmed.  I have over 150 emails yet to answer and I have already answered at least 75.  I'm wishing I had a well-trained staff right now, but I will do my best to send each of you an answer to your computer puzzles.  If any of you know of someone who is waiting for an answer, please forward this newsletter to them. 

I would also like to thank each and every last one of you that have signed up for my newsletter.  My subscriber list is really growing!

Even though this is more of a newsy newsletter, rather than a computer-information-packed newsletter, I do have some news of an important finding on the Norton Anti-virus subscription renewal upgrade.  Remember when I walked you through the renewal process in the last newsletter:
http://www.rockyreport.com/New_Virus_Norton_Subscr_Renewal.htm

I went through this process ahead of time to be able to tell you more about it.  They send you via email a code to insert into the live update wizard.  Since my subscription hadn't expired, I just tucked away the renewal code thinking that I could use it whenever the
expiration date rolled around, since I paid for it.  WRONG!  What I didn't know was that the code is only good for a week.  If you fail to insert the code within a week, you will need to call them and get a new code.  Here's the number, just in case you have any questions:

1 (800) 441-7234  or (541) 334-6054
Customer Service is available Monday through Friday,
from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM PST.

Of course, the best thing to do is follow the wizard and insert the code as soon as possible that same day.

One more really fun tip:

I learned this by answering an email question recently; I just love it when your questions push me to research and learn more.  Her is the way to make really large letters in
Microsoft Word, like for a banner.  Until now, I thought you were limited to font size 72, not true!  Here's the way the make letters as large as 235:

Open Microsoft Word, find the Standard Tool bar (top one,usually)Click on Format>Font>in the size box, I clicked on 72, with it highlighted, I typed in 235, and
click OK, and it works.  Type in your letters and you will see the huge letters that can be used on banners and such.  :)  I think this is VERY COOL!

Anyway, that's the size of it this month.  Hope you enjoyed this newsletter.  I'll be back in August.  Have a great Summer!

I appreciate all of you.  Remember that I will have all these monthly issues of my newsletter available at my websites, along with other information:
