What’s New at Linda’s Computer Stop

First new thing:

I have added one more class to my list of online classes at Eclectic Academy!  Starting on March 3rd, I will be teaching Outlook classes, as well as my usual Excel, Publisher, PowerPoint, and Word classes.  Check it out here.

Also, since my course load is getting really heavy, I turned over my Access class to Fleet member, James La Borde, so he will be teaching Intro and Intermediate Access classes there in March also.

And, in May, I will begin teaching Intermediate Excel and Word.

So, come on over to Eclectic Academy and join the fun.  How can you go wrong?  Twenty bucks for a six week class just cannot be beat, in my opinion!

Next new thing:

I've added a couple new ebooks to my Library collection of favorites.  One is a great new one by those dependable people at The Newbie Club.  This one's called EMail for Newbies and it is FULL of great info.  The second one is a freebie called eBook Authors Interviewed. Download it for free and browse through the interviews to see if someone out there has written the eBook you have been waiting for.

Another new thing:

I've added some great Windows XP links at my Windows page.

Check them out!

Last new thing:

Some new links on my Internet Favorites page.  Look for the revolving N's.  And if you like mystery games, don't miss Stickman Murder Mysteries.  What fun these are!

Internet Links

Subscribers' Exclusive Tip of the Month:

Tweaking Windows XP

Are you new to Windows XP and wondering how to make it work the way YOU want?  There's a great download called Tweak XP which has over 300 tweaks in six different categories covering almost every aspect of the operating system.

Already have it?  Well, the Newest version, 1.26, is now available for download here and here's what it includes:

** new 'System-Monitor' added to the System-Information section - can be displayed as a small, additional window
** new tweak added to the Auto-Logon section: users can be hidden from the LogOn screen now
** deleting unnecessary files moves the files to the recycle bin instead of deleting them
** new Pentium III-M tweak
** updated pop-up blocker list
** updated language files
** some internal changes and improvements

If you are using XP, you don't wanna miss out on this one!
