As always, * Please be assured that I will never sell or share
your email addresses with anyone else! I respect your privacy!*
 
This is my 5 year anniversary!  Can't believe I've been doing this
newsletter for that long, and it's not as often anymore, but I
will try to share information with you as often as I can.
 
Would you believe that I had this newsletter almost done in July,
and never could get it finished with work and family obligations.
Nonetheless, here it is, and I think it will be helpful in October as
it would have been in July.  Hope you have a delightful spooky
Halloween!
 

PICASA 3: FREE DOWNLOAD, GREAT PICTURE EDITOR, VERY USER FRIENDLY!

http://picasa.google.com

Picasa is software that helps you instantly find, edit and share
all the pictures on your PC. Every time you open Picasa, it automatically locates all your pictures (even ones you forgot you had) and sorts them into visual albums organized by date with folder names you will recognize. You can drag and drop to arrange your albums and make labels to create new groups. Picasa makes sure your pictures are always organized. Picasa also makes advanced editing simple by putting one-click fixes and powerful effects at your fingertips. And Picasa makes it a snap to share your pictures – you can email, print photos at home, make gift CDs, instantly share via Hello™, and even post pictures on your own blog. You can even take a tour.  It's Great!!  Wonderful for editing down to email size!
 
QURB  SPAM FILTER EXTRAORDINAIRE!
 
Many of you have been asking me to recommend a good program
to combat spam in Outlook Express, and Qurb is the best I've found.
Qurb supports Microsoft Outlook Express 5.5 and 6.0, Microsoft Outlook 2000, Microsoft Outlook XP, and Microsoft Outlook 2003.This program is so smart, and it keeps all people in your address book in the inbox, and you can check the Qurb at a glance and approve an email that needs to be in your inbox and then peruse the Qurb folder when you want to.  It's the most intuitive program I've found!  You can download it free for 14 days, but you'll be amazed in just a day or two and want to purchase it.  Only 29.95 and all updates after that are free. 
 
 
CLEAR THE GOOGLE SEARCH HISTORY
 
The easiest thing to do to clear your Google Search history is
download the google toolbar and use the clear search history
in the drop down list when you click google on the toolbar. 
It's much more convenient,too.  You can type in a search
word no matter what website you are on. 
 
 
TO ERASE ALL TRACKS OF ALL SEARCHES EVERYWHERE:
 
They do make third party programs for this; here's a free "internet eraser" and it
has a good rating:
 
 
YAHOO TOOLBAR ANTI-SPY
 
 
One of the Best Anti-spy and user friendly programs around.  Download
today and run this program weekly. 
 
COPY AND PASTE USING THE MOUSE

Put the mouse at the beginning of what you want to copy and click the left mouse button, holding it down while you drag over the section.  Drag across or down. At the end of what you want copied, let go of the mouse button.  What you want to copy should be highlighted!  (If you goof, click the mouse button once to unhighlight, then start over.) While it's highlighted right click on the area, and click copy, and then go to where you want topaste it. Put the cursor on that spot by clicking the left mouse button once. Now right
click and click paste.  Here's a great website to explain it, too:
