 | Wireless Headphones Do you use headphones to listen to music on your stereo or even your MP3 player or iPod? And when you do, don't you always have to deal with all those cords that connect from the player to your ears. Well, how would you like to go wireless with your headphones? Does that sound good? If so, keep reading to learn more! Wireless headphones work just like anything else that's wireless. There are no cords involved, so you don't have to worry about that and with them, you no longer have to worry about staying close to your music player. You're free to roam around your house (or wherever you are) and you'll still be able to listen to your music. The headphones work by a connection with an infrared or radio signal to a central base station. They receive a signal from a separate stationary device that stays plugged in to either your stereo or whichever player you're using. The headphones then stay connected and you can move about to cook, exercise or even clean! The headphone batteries are also charged on the stationary device, so everything is combined into one little component. How convenient! Wireless headphones can be found anywhere you buy other computer or music devices, so go ahead and give them a try. They might just be your next favorite thing! ~ Erin Here's a happy, happy Friday to you all! Make sure you keep reading to learn all about what you should look for when buying a new monitor, find out how to do partial word selections in both MS Word and MS PowerPoint and learn how you can create your very own Google Web site.

Q: A: As you mentioned in your question, you know there are several different kinds of monitors you can buy. Most sellers offer the 17", 19" or 21" (which is known as the Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) and it is most like a TV screen, but much sharper in image). Now, there are probably larger versions available out there today, but for your needs, we'll just stick with those three sizes. Now that we have the sizes covered, let's check out the prices. The 21" monitor is obviously going to cost the most, simply because they weigh the most and take up the most space. If you're really thinking about getting a 21," you'll want to thoroughly check them out first. You'll need some room to spare on your desk for it to fit and you'll want to be sure of the quality you're getting. On the other hand, 17" and 19" screens are pretty similar in cost. You may pay approximately $50 to $100 more for a 19" over a 17." Once you choose your size, you have the choice of getting either a regular shaped monitor or a flat screen. And to add even more to your plate, there is a regular flat screen monitor or an aperture grill monitor, which is vertically flat. Regular flat screens are mostly curved vertically and horizontally. The aperture grill will give you thin black lines along the screen when you're viewing a white background. That can be a little annoying sometimes (unless you like that kind of thing), so you'll want to keep that in mind as well. Of course, the different sizes will accommodate for how much black line you will see. Okay, I have more choices to throw in the mix for you. You can also pick to have an LCD monitor if you want. LCD monitors are what come with laptops. With everything else, LCDs come with some advantages and disadvantages. For example, some advantages are a smaller sized screen in thickness, they don't give off as much heat, they use less power and they have a more crisp and clear display than some other monitors. On the other hand, some disadvantages are they're more expensive, they're a lot more fragile than the other types of monitors, they can easily produce screen defects and they sometimes cause color and contrast problems. Now, according to some reviews I was looking at, most people go with a 19" monitor for size. The rest of the choices depends on how important the display image, cost, etc. means to you. There are obviously several choices to be made when choosing a monitor, just as when you're buying a new computer or printer. But, if you do your homework, you'll be able to find the perfect new monitor for your PC. No doubt about it! ~ Erin Have a question for the newsletter? Submit it at the link below: Partial Word Selections When highlighting parts of more than one word in either MS Word or MS PowerPoint, have you ever noticed that the program will automatically highlight all the affected words completely? I mean, it's a good thing if you actually want complete words highlighted, but what if you don't? What if you truly wanted to highlight a strange segment? Then what? Well, I can think of several options, but the first seems to be unique to Word. (At least I couldn't get PowerPoint to cooperate with this method). The first option I have to offer is the Alt key. If you hold down the Alt key while highlighting, Word will let you highlight any rectangular shape, meaning partial lines and words. That's a good plan for Word, but what about when you're working in PowerPoint? Wouldn't it be nice to control the problem with one consistent method so that you're not switching back and forth, depending on where you're currently working? To that end, I have a couple suggestions that work in both programs. The first is to highlight using the keyboard. Use the Shift key combined with the arrow keys and you'll get exact highlighting every time. Another idea is to simply turn off the setting that's actually causing the complete word highlighting. So, let's find it! You'll first need to get to the Options dialogue window. (For Word and PowerPoint 2007, you need to go to the Office Button and then click on the Options button in the bottom right hand corner. For older versions of the programs, you need the Tools menu, Options choice). If you're using the 2007 programs, you need the Advanced section in the Options dialogue window. For the older versions, you're looking for the Edit tab in the Options dialogue window. The exact location in each program varies slightly, but in all cases, you're looking for the option labeled as "When selecting, automatically select entire word." Uncheck that option and then click OK. Voila. Your highlighting is now completely within your control! ~ April Awesome Wireless Network Adapter! Go Wireless In Seconds! We have an awesome USB Wireless LAN Mini Adapter for you today and it's about the coolest wireless accessory I've ever seen!
