FINDERS KEEPERS |

FIND is one of those handy windows COMMANDS that will work in just about ALL programs that run under the Windows OS. And the KEYBOARD SHORTCUT is simply:
CTRL-F
The next time you are perusing a page looking for a specific word or
phrase you know what to do! Try it - look for "Theodore" on this page!
SSL works by using a PRIVATE KEY to ENCRYPT data that's transferred
over the SSL connection. Browsers support SSL and many Web sites use the
protocol to obtain CONFIDENTIAL USER INFO, such as CREDIT CARD numbers.
By convention, Web pages that require an SSL connection start with https:
instead of http:. So think of "SSL" as a techie way of saying "SAFE"!

Calm down kids! Avoid the hype and hysteria. Remember that most WARNINGS are FAKE! When a real virus does enter your computer it got there because YOU LET IT IN. Either as an email attachment or via some software you installed. Relax, even if you goofed, you can delete it with ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE.
BOTTOM LINE:
Keep a CURRENT set of BACKUPS as your first line of defense; use antivirus
software as a second line of defense. And please follow the GOLDEN RULE
- DON'T OPEN AN EMAIL ATTACHMENT YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR!!!
Any ways, another good laugh. I love you too.

We find the BEST DEALS for you. SAY BYE TO EXPENSIVE CALLS! Check
out this great offer AND MANY MORE!Give the gift of gab:
Let's cut to the chase - check out these three sites to see what we
are talking about:
http://www.freemerchant.com
http://www.bigstep.com
http://www.econgo.com
Presto! The possibility of creating your dream store is within reach. These are great sites for starting your first online business. What do you get for free? Be forewarned, that even if you patiently design a free site using on of these services, your site won't magically be listed on directories and search engines. Customers won't materialize out of nowhere.
Nevertheless just give it a try! If after a few months of using the free site you want to upgrade then try one of these 5 "not quite free" e-commerce site providers.
http://www.amazon.com
Amazon.com ZShops are priced for widespread adoption at $9.99 per month
for up to 3,000 listings, with transaction fees varying. Your store
gets integrated into Amazon's directory structure. But your site
can quickly become part of a flea market, where there is little control
of how your site looks and the companies surrounding it.
http://www.buyitonline.com
Buyitonline.com costs $79 per month plus 15% of each transaction for
unlimited items. Despite needing to use Online Merchant software to create
a store, there is space in a virtual mall where you can create your own
identity. This is one of the better for-pay e-commerce sites for
getting started.
http://www.icat.com
The iCAT Web Store is a division of Intel. Priced at $49.95 per
month for up to 50 items or $500 per year, this site has easy-to-use store-building
tools and multiple reporting options, yet has no inventory tracking. What
you lose in creativity for defining your site you get in reliability and
a wealth of e-commerce transaction features.
http://www.storesense.com/
Kurant's offering sells for $149 per month for up to 50 items.
It has editable HTML templates, inventory and customer management tools
and a structure which makes it possible for your site to grow as your business
grows. The only downsides are that you will need to devote some time to
getting your site running on these tools because they are complex and the
price is high. It's worth a look though if you are going to be spending
for an e-commerce site.
http://www.yahoo.com
All the other companies in this category started out emulating the
Yahoo Store concept. At $100 per month for up to 50 items, Yahoo
Stores is pricey yet does not offer inventory tracking. Their flexibility
of site definition is tough to beat. If you already have a business
and want to get a store online quickly, and can afford the price, consider
Yahoo. Co-promoting with Yahoo is also possible.
