THIS MONTH'S FEATURE ~
Steve's Special Review
*******************************************
Valentine Special
*******************************************
Linda's Thought of the Month:
My thought this month is simple: Look before you ask
What's it mean? It means before you ask a question or make a
statement or take an action...check out the Internet and see if the answer
is there, or there's something there that would change your mind.
So...before you write to some support group and say "I have a dumb
question", go to a search engine and TYPE your "dumb" question in the
search box.
Before you tell someone they are wrong, go to a search engine and make
that statement there, in the search box, and see what comes up.
And, PLEASE, before you forward some email to everyone in your address
book, telling them that some knowledgeable friend of yours forwarded this
virus warning to you and you want them all to search their hard drives for
this dangerous file and delete it immediately, cuz you sure just did....go
to a search engine and type the name of that file in the search box.
MOST of these warnings are hoaxes and you will sure feel bad if it's becuz
of you that many people deleted a file in their computer that was supposed
to stay there.
Don't know what a search engine is? Go to
www.google.com and
find out. You'll be glad you did...and so will your friends.
And this month's animated gifs
(just right click on any and choose "Save picture as"):
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
