Quick Tips

Change What your Power Button Does

It's time to think outside the box on this Quicktip. The power button on the front of your PC; what does it do? It tends to put my computer at home to sleep when I press it, but what if you've got other stuff you'd rather it be doing?

What about just shutting the system down? Perhaps you'd like it to make your PC hibernate? Shoot, what if you don't want it to do anything at all?

Here's the tip.

For Windows Vista:
Type “Powercfg.cpl” in the search box minus the quotes. Once the Power Options window appears, click on “Choose what the power button does” off to the left. Here, you can assign a function to the power button and away you go!

For Windows XP:
Click Start>Run and then type in “Powercfg.cpl”, once again, minus the quotes. Under the Advanced tab you'll see options for how you want the power button to react to your press. Funny, though, that only XP gives you the option to have Windows ask you what you want to do when you press the button. This option is strangely absent in Vista. I guess Vista doesn't ask, Vista only tells!

Let me tell ya - this combo is gonna completely blow you away! It'll be the most realistic screen saver to ever grace you monitor! Really - Chech this out!

First, I gotta tell ya - these are an absolutely AMAZING treat! The fish and the aquariums look so realistic that after a few minutes of watching you have remind yourself that you're actually staring at a screen saver and not a real aquarium!

The fish - oh, I gotta tell ya about the fish! Not only do they LOOK like real fish - they act like real fish! If you've ever watched a fish in an aquarium - that's REALLY how these act - (Well, almost - these don't jump out an die on the floor, and they don't just sit in the corner looking ticked-off at ya)! They swim, they "run into the glass", they hide behind weeds, the dart around, bump into each other - You'd have to go to the pet store for a more realistic experience! It's INCREDIBLE!

Oh, and they look completely 3 dimensional too! I've seen competing screen savers and, honestly, they don't really compete at all - their fish look like pancakes! These look amazingly 3-D and life-like (Heck, they look more lively than the ones in my real tank!)

PLUS - Just wait till you feast your eyes on the tanks! The surroundings are completely realistic! The plants actually "sway" in the current, random bubbles pop up, and day turns to night! It couldn't be cooler! In fact, you can even PICK the tanks and adjust the "accessories" in them! Really customizable and really easy to create the tank of your dreams!

Almost forgot - You even get to pick your fish! Choose how many fish you want, what type of fish you want and everything! Or, just let the software pick for you! Either way, it's a screen full of fantastic fish! Choose from 28 different species in Marine Aquarium and 12 amazing goldfish in the Goldfish Aquarium (my fav, BTW :-)

Of course, what's an aquarium without the sound of bubbles and water? Well, this covers you! You can toggle the sound on and off for an amazingly authentic aquarium experience! If you're like me, you'll find it hard to tear yourself away from the screen saver and get back to work! It's VERY fun to watch and incredibly relaxing too!

OK, I could go on and on about how incredible this set is, or I could show you some screen shots! Just take a gander at the images below - but remember - these are resized and as amazing as they look, really don't do the program justice! Head to the site for even more!

First, the Goldfish:

Relax to the swaying plants!

Turn off lights and enjoy a darkened tank!

View your fish from the top down!

Now, a few from Marine Aquarium:

Look at the life-like environment!

Marine Aquarium 2.6 & Goldfish Aquarium
The colors pop like crazy at "night"!
Marine Aquarium 2.6 & Goldfish Aquarium

OK, see what I mean? Again, I REALLY want to stress that those screen shots don't do it justice! Full-screen they look even more amazing - add some animation and sound and you'll find yourself checking your monitor for leaks!

PREPARE TO BE BLOWN AWAY!!!

WARNING: Make Sure You Have The Volume Turned DOWN Before you Plug These in!!

These Portable Speakers Are A "Concert Hall In a Box"!!!Folding Speaker System

I'VE GOT TO TELL YA WHAT HAPPENED when we first got these in. I Plugged these into the headphone jack of my desktop computer and clicked on an Internet radio station to get some music.BUT I didn't bother to check the VOLUME LEVEL of my computer! When I turned on the power to these portable speakers, it startled me so much, I JUMPED ABOUT A FOOT OUT OF MY CHAIR!

WOW!!! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THESE "LITTLE" SPEAKERS COULD BE THAT POWERFUL!!

I'm tellin' ya...you're gonna be surprised how POWERFUL this little speaker system is! Whew!!!

What's funny is this speaker system is actually made so you carry it around with you wherever go. They're about the size of an eye glass case and the speakers themselves fold up and tuck safely away inside the hard-shell case. So when I first saw these I thought, "These are so small! How POWERFUL could these actually be? Well, I found out quick enough...PLENTY POWERFUL!!! These things ROCK...and you're gonna love 'em!!!

What I like about these is that they work with ANY AUDIO DEVICE that has a headphone jack! So you can use this with your mp3 player, satellite radio, laptop computer, CD player, portable DVD player even portable game! (The kids will LOVE to hear their gaming devices take on a "BIG 3-D sound!)

PLUS, you don't have to plug these into an AC electrical outlet because they work on four "AA" batteries, so you can play your audio devices just about anywhere! which makes 'em REALLY convenient! There's a audio cord that's neatly attached to the speakers, and you just plug that into whatever device you want to listen to! And when you're done, just unplug the cord and tuck it back into the case! THAT'S A REALLY A GREAT idea not only for easy travel but to protect the speaker system, too!

What's REALLY AMAZING about these speakers is that YOU CAN EVEN USE THESE WITH YOUR DESKTOP COMPUTER! How's THAT for versatility! So, if you don't have a set of speakers for your desktop computer or you're not happy with the ones you have, before you rush out and buy a more expensive set of speakers, PUT THESE to the test just like I did! You're gonna LOVE the sound! Plus - you'll be saving yourself a LOT of money!

And the "icing on the cake" is that you'll ALSO have a FANTASTIC set of portable speakers that you can take with you anywhere and play your portable devices! Oh man!!! How sweet is THAT? The only thing that can make this even sweeter is an amazing price - $14.97 and US shipping is FREE!!! Is that crazy or what???

I've heard small computer systems that were in the $40-50 range that didn't sound HALF as good as these beauties! These are something you're gonna want to have for home AND on the go so grab one now at this crazy price!

P.S. - BIG SOUND for on the go! So go grab one before they all go out the door!

Computers 101

Q:
I no longer use Internet Explorer or Outlook Express, but of course, updates from Microsoft still come through for them each month. Do I really need those updates or can I disable them completely?

A:
As you all know, Microsoft sends out their Windows Updates at the beginning of each month, which help to keep our computers safe and secure. Often times, those updates include material for some of Microsoft's own programs, such as Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. But with so many other Web browser and e-mail options these days, a lot of you no longer use those applications and it seems silly to continue receiving those updates. So, is it really necessary to keep getting them? The answer may surprise some of you.

Yes, you still need those updates. Even though you don't use those programs on a regular basis, they're still a part of your computer and you need to maintain them. That's especially true for Internet Explorer. If you don't use Outlook Express anymore and you're sure it will never be used again, you can stop its updates, but Internet Explorer really is a whole different ball game. As you may or may not know, Internet Explorer is an integral part of your operating system, as it contains certain components that help run Windows for you. That's right, it's not just a Web browser anymore!

Even more, a lot of those components are used by other applications on your computer besides Internet Explorer. One example is the HTML rendering engine. That is used by several other programs to display HTML content, but the main component lies within Internet Explorer. So, you see, if you don't run the Windows Updates for Internet Explorer, you will lose some of your HTML capabilities. That one alone could affect a lot of the work you do on your computer. And that's just one example of everything Internet Explorer includes.

So, if you've stopped installing the updates for Internet Explorer, you'll want to start receiving them again next month (the next batch will come through in just a few days for March 2008). If you don't update Internet Explorer, you're also missing out on the updates for all the other components I mentioned earlier. A lot of the programs you probably use on a daily basis rely on Internet Explorer to run properly, so don't take the chance of ruining those too. Simply install the updates each month and you'll be good to go. Wow, who knew Internet Explorer could be so important?!

MS Office

Convert It Smartly

Here's yet another great one for my PowerPoint 2007 users.

Ever have a bulleted or numbered list and wish that you'd thought to put it into SmartArt from the beginning?

Well don't start kicking yourself for not thinking of it earlier and don't retype it all into a diagram. In fact, don't even start with the copy / paste thing… you really don't need any of that.

What you really need is a right-click.

Yep - that's what I said - a simple right-click will do the trick.

  • First highlight the list.
  • Now it's time to right-click on the list.

  • You're looking for the Convert to SmartArt choice.
  • A palette of choices will open, choose one. Or, if you don't see what you want, you can always choose More SmartArt Graphics at the bottom.

At any rate, choose a graphic that works and Presto - Change - O! You've converted your list in the "smartest" possible way that I can think of.

More Cool Stuff

Quicken Willmaker 2008 Plus!

The Software Everyone Is Dying To Get! (Sorry Couldn't Resist)

The Ultimate Program For Creating Your Own Legal Will, Living Trust - MORE!!

Save Incredible Amounts Of Money On Legal Fees!

Make Your Own Legal Wills, Living Wills, Heath Care Directive, Powers of Attorney, Final Arrangements, and More!

Retails For $50, Amazon Sells It For $34, Barns & Noble And Office Depot Both Sell It For $50!

Your Price - Just $12.97!!! WOW!!

OK, today's title is a little different than our normal fare - but something everyone really needs. It's called Quicken's Willmaker Plus 2008 and it's a great way to make sure your wishes are followed when the time comes. I know, no one wants to think about going to the information superhighway in the sky, but everyone's time does indeed come. We all have a responsibility to make sure our loved ones don't need to go through any more grief than necessary, and this software can really help.

We all know what happens. Getting a lawyer is sometimes way too expensive, so many people are left without any type of will when the inevitable time comes. This software not only covers standard wills, but also has extensive living will documentation. When I was only 30 years old, my wife and I had a will drawn up by a lawyer, and it was a solid $600 just for a basic "who-gets-what" type of will. I can tell you that THIS is the program we use now - so much simpler to update and work with than a lawyer! Besides, makes it easy to take Uncle Ed off your will when he messes up at the family reunion :-)

This software makes creating a legal, binding, will or living will simple and extremely affordable. It includes thousands of document possibilities to suit just about every situation -- but don't worry, it's incredibly user-friendly! You'll have them finished in minutes - really! It's basically a "fill in the blanks" proposition.

Making updates is a snap too. This program is so informative and in a language everyone can understand. It basically takes you through an interview process which makes it really simple to fill out your document. Plus, if you're not sure what any of it means, the software includes an amazing guide, informative glossary, and a host of online resources. It breaks down the legalese into something all of us can understand!

To help show easy it is, here's an example. Let's say you're filling out a "Final Arrangements" document. Before you even get started, it gives you a check list - name, body donation, organ donation, burial details, person to oversee plans. Then, the column to the right tells you the purpose of each of those items. Now you know what you need and why :-)

In addition to living and standard wills, this also includes Power of Attorney documents, a legal glossary if you get stuck, and other critical estate planning forms. Everything you need in one easy to use package!

Let's face it - proper planning is something we all need to take care of for our loved ones. I've personally had a will since I was 30 years old, and it gets updated on a regular basis. To me, it just doesn't make sense not to have everything in place - I can't imagine putting my family through that. Plus, this is from Quicken, so it's not just some off the wall software that some guy wrote in his basement - this is the real deal. Wouldn't surprise me even a little if this was the software lawyers used to create legal wills and documents for their clients!

Your price is fantastic - just $12.97 and US shipping is free. Again, this retails for $50 - and when you consider all it does it's is worth every penny of that price. If you've been putting off making a will or living will, just $12.97 can get you there.

http://store.worldstart.com/product.php?productid=4955

PS - Estate planning is something we all have to do. It's not a task anyone enjoys, but at this price it's probably the least expensive way you'll ever see to get the job done. Isn't it worth $12.97 to know that your affairs will be in order when the time comes?

 


You'll NEVER Touch MS Office Again!

Amazing New Software Blows It Away - For A Tiny FRACTION Of The Price!

Don't Spend Hundreds On MS Office - Try This Instead!

Fast, Quick To Learn, And Takes Easy To Use To The Next Level!

Full Featured - Everything You'd Ever Want And Then Some!

Discover What All The Excitement Is About!!

You know, we've offered some pretty amazing software in the past, but just wait till you see what we have for you today!! When it comes to bang-for-the-buck, our newest title, Office Suite 2008 just blows everything else away! I can't tell ya how absolutely impressed I am with this amazing software! It's a phenomenal MS Office alternative that has EVERY feature you'd ever want or need in an office suite at a price that's almost a give-away!!! PLUS - this is 100% MS Office compatible!

First off, I can tell you that MS Office no longer has a place on my computer - or any new computers that we get for the office! Office Suite 2008 is not just an alternative to MS Office - in my opinion, it's actually a WAAAAYY BETTER alternative! It's easier to use, faster, and just way more user-friendly! Seriously - just wait till you spend your first hour or so with it - you'll wonder why you haven't been using it all along! You won't believe how impressive this software is!

OfficeSuite 2008

In fact, most of the articles you see here in the newsletter were written either with one version or another of this software! Why shell out up to $800 for MS Office when these does everything it does - and then some - for a FRACTION of the price? Heck, I just installed this on my new laptop for an upcoming trip! I can tell you this - once you give this a try, you won't be back to MS Office and their insane prices - EVER!

What do you get? Well, EVERYTHING! This includes an absolutely fantastic word processor, a spreadsheet program on steroids (it just stomps Excel), presentation software that makes PowerPoint all but obsolete, an incredible drawing program (think easy to use TurboCad), an advanced calculating program, and even a souped-up, high-end database! PLUS it can even create PDFs with the push of a button from most applications! WOW! To get even close to that with MS office you'd be looking at a small fortune!

OK, So how close is this to MS Office, really? 

Well, I was editing a document with a friend and for first half-hour he thought we were using MS Office. Finally he looked at it a little closer and said, "Hey - what program is this?" I told him about it - and how inexpensive it was - and he was blown away! He couldn't believe that you could get a program like this for less than $15!! In fact, at first he thought I was kidding around. Well, he's got a few on the way for himself now! Why shell out $400 - $800 for MS Office when you can get this for a small fraction of the cost? Check it out:

The 2 of the main components are a top notch Word Processor and a Spreadsheet Program. Both look a LOT like MS Word and MS Excel - in fact, if you just open it up and ignore the title bar, you'd swear that you were using an improved version of MS Office! It's THAT good. Oh, and like I said, this also comes with a phenomenal presentation program, drawing program, database and MORE! Let's look at the main two everyone use though - I just want to give you an idea why this program is sooo great!

The Word Processor is just fantastic! I mean, it really has everything - a spell checker, grammar checker, thesaurus, auto text, tables, password protection, mail merge, easy font selection, auto numbering, etc. Plus, everything is very intuitive - it just seems like things are where you expect them to be and work the way you'd expect them to work. It's like the person who wrote the software actually uses the software! Here's just a taste of what you can create with the word processor:

OfficeSuite 2008

Oh PLUS ~ You can turn your document into a PDF file with the click of one button ~ this is a terrific feature!!

Oh, and wait till you see the Spreadsheet Program! It looks and functions just like MS Excel! Even the menus are virtually identical - everything you're used to doing in Excel can be done just as quickly here. TONS of built-in formulas, formatting, and functions at your fingertips. Create charts in just a few mouse clicks, filter data easily, send spreadsheets via e-mail, you name it, this can do it! You'll never need Excel again (or wan to use it for that matter)!!

The really cool thing is that all of this is 100% MS Office Compatible. It not only opens MS Office files (.doc, .xls) but can also save in that format! That way, you don't need to have MS Office to create or save MS Office documents. Cool huh?

I tell ya what - I could go on and on about this one - it's really one of the most - if not the most - powerful office suites I've ever had the privilege of using! I'm really excited about having it on my computer and I can't recommend this highly enough! If you need office software, you just gotta give this a try!

Oh, your cost? Glad you asked! Just $12.97 and US shipping is FREE!  It's almost a give-away for that kind of money - especially when you think that MS Office is $400-$800!! Try it, you'll thank me later :-)

Tip of the Day

A New Way to Restart

Did you know that a modern PC with Windows Vista Home Edition takes about one and a half minutes to boot up? An older machine with Windows XP is about the same. That’s 30 seconds for the PC itself (the BIOS) to start up, plus one minute for the Windows operating system to begin. Of course, there are times when you need to reboot Windows (for example, when installing new software), but there's really no need to restart the BIOS too.

However, your computer's default is probably set to reboot both. That’s called doing a “cold boot,” rather than a “warm boot.” But luckily, there’s a trick that works on both XP and Vista to get it to do a warm boot instead, which will save you 30 seconds per cycle. Want to know how? Then keep reading!

The trick is to hold down the Shift key when invoking the restart.

Windows Vista

Go to Start and then hover over the right arrow located to the right of the padlock icon until a pop up menu appears that contains Restart as one of the choices. Then hold down the Shift key while clicking on the Restart option.

Windows XP

Go to Start and select Shut Down. Then change the drop down combo box under “What do you want the computer to do?” to Restart. Again, hold down the Shift key while clicking on the OK button.

I hope this one makes your life just a little bit easier when it comes to restarting your computer!

It's so small you don't even know it's there - till ya need it! Grab one for each of your cars, your camper, boat, house, garage, camera bag - anywhere you need a small, bright, reliable light!

Plus, this thing is REALLY well built too! Don't let the price fool ya! These aren't some cheap plastic lights - this bad boy is SOLID! We're talking a heavy-duty all aluminium barrel that can really take some serious pounding! Plus, the grip is just fantastic and I can personally attest that even when your hands are dripping wet (or snow covered), it's easy to keep ahold of!

Get this - since this is an LED flashlight, it seems to run FOREVER on a set of batteries! Changing batteries or running out of juice is going to be a very RARE thing now! Oh, PLUS don't forget that you won't ever have to worry about the LEDs burning out - Heck, even if you kept it on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it would take 11 YEARS before they would burn out! WOW!!!

If you've looked at LED flashlights, you know they are the pedigree of the lighting world - for a light like this, you're looking at least $20-$30 easy. Your cost? Again we're talking just $6.97 and US Shipping is FREE!! It's the BEST DEAL we've ever offered on an LED Flashlight! Give it a try, you'll be glad you did!
