!!Hoax & Virus Alert!!So forgive me if i sound like an insurance salesperson, but I'll give you 2 good reasons why you need to have an antivirus program: (1) the net (2) macro viruses The internet has brought with it a bunch of new threats - malicious things done using Java applets, ActiveX controls, and of course macros. Via the net a virus can spread easier and faster. FYI, macros are mini-applications that reside within a microsoft word and excel documents. Go get yourself that insurance policy. When the time comes where you will need that antivirus program (and it will), you will be glad you did it! I use and highly recommend Norton AntiVirus which also comes bundled in Norton SystemWorks, a package that every PC based office/home office should have! Find the latest on internet and email warnings and hoaxes (real &
fake) here:
And remember: nearly ALL the warnings sent over the internet are fake!

THE PUNCH LINEA recent poll showed that while 79% of Americans regard traffic as a "major concern," the majority (85%) drive to work alone and want to continue doing so. Only 15% of respondents said living conditions are moving in the wrong direction while 40% said they are heading in the right direction. The Fine Print* CTRL: Control Key (there are 2 of these on your pretty little keyboard) * ESC: Escape key (top left of your keyboard) * Home & End Keys: found next to the Page Up and Page Down keys, to the right of the alphanumeric portion of your keyboard (even on laptops) * Keyboard combinations: hold down the first key, then press second key shortly THE BEST WINDOWS KEYBOARD COMBOSTOP 3 (if you learn anything at all today learn these 3): CUT - COPY - PASTE (1) CTRL + X: Cut (cuts a selection and places it on the Windows clipboard; remember to first select something to cut!) (2) CTRL + C: Copy (works kinda like CUT but without deleting the original data) (3) CTRL + V: Paste (use this after you move the cursor to the spot where you want the stuff you CUT or COPIED) Time for 3 more?
