Quick Tips

But can I even run Windows 7?

Those of you out there that are planning on upgrading to Windows 7 may want to pay special attention to today's tip. We learned about the system requirements for Microsoft's upcoming upgrade awhile back, but what if you're still unsure as to whether or not your PC can handle it?

That's where this no-frills, free download from the folks at Microsoft comes in. It's called the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. It's still in the beta stage right now, but from what I experienced, it works just fine.

Simply download the program and follow the prompts. In a couple of minutes (or more, depending on your system) you'll be given a generated report on what requirements your computer meets or falls short of. No more wondering, folks! This handy little app will do it for you and then let you know what needs to be upgraded to accommodate Windows 7 when it releases this Fall.

FINALLY! Find WiFi Hotspots The EASY Way!

Just Press A Button And Know INSTANTLY If There's A Network Available!!!

No Software! No Computer!

Know At A Glance If You're In A WiFi HotSpot!

It's About Time!

IOGEAR Wi-Fi Hotspot Finder

WOW! A MUST-HAVE For Laptop Users!

We have one of the absolute coolest laptop gadget I've ever run across! If you have a laptop, chances are you use it to connect to wireless access points when you're on the road (or you're going to soon :-). That's the main reason I bring mine along on trips - so I can access the Internet.

My old routine to find out if there was a network available went kind of like this:

1. Dig laptop out from under about 3 suitcases.
2. Carry it to where I think there might be a hotspot to log onto.
3. Find a spot to sit and pull laptop out of the bag.
4. Boot up laptop and wait 3 or 4 minutes for it to finally get into Windows.
5. Check for wireless connections.
6. Find out there aren't any, pack up, and try a new spot.

There's gotta be a better way, right? That's where today's gadget comes in. It's an awesome wireless network detector that's going to make your road trips a whole lot better!

Just press the button on the front of the unit and it will show you if there are any networks available and how strong the signal is! I've been traveling quite a lot and let me tell you, this really comes in handy! It saves me dozens of needless bootups and a lot of time. Here's a quick overview:

No more booting up your notebook to find a WiFi signal
Detects most available WiFi networks with the press of a button
Signal strength indicator light
Compact and lightweight design fits in pocket
Detects 802.11b and 802.11g signals up to 500 feet away
No software or computer required

Cool huh? If you purchased your laptop to use when you're out and about, this is simply a no-brainer. It makes it so much easier to find hotspots and saves a ton of time in wasted bootups. I don't know about you, but my schedule is tight and I just don't have the time to waste playing "find the hotspot". Instead of hunting around, I just keep this little device in your pocket and press the button. If there's a network, then I pull out the laptop! It's just great!

Your cost today is just $12.97 and US shipping is FREE! Stop wasting time and energy trying to find hotspots - grab one today! This is our BEST PRICE EVER on a WiFi Detector of this caliber - be sure to get one today!

Go From This...

Magic Hangers

To This...

Is Your Closet So Full of Clothes That It's Busting At The Seams?

Well Before You Go And Knock Out A Closet Wall, Try These!

OK, so you're a "clothes Magic Hangershorse"! You know..you've got so many clothes you can outfit the entire army of a small country! (But for some reason, you still can't find a thing to wear!) Or, maybe you live in house or apartment where the closets are so small that you have to remind yourself where they are 'cause if you blink when you walk by, you miss 'em! Either way, the problem's the same: too many clothes for the amount of closet space! Well, before you take a sledge hammer to one of the closet walls (yeah, that'll work but kind of messy...just trust me on that one!) give these a try...THEY REALLY WORK!!!

A short while ago we got a delivery from one of our suppliers. There was the usual bunch of new things they wanted us to look at but they also included a note. It explained they sent along something a little different called, "Magic Hangers". Well as it turns out, they're the manufacturer of these and they asked us to just give these a try 'cause, "They work!", and they thought for sure that our readers would love them as much as everyone else who tried these!

OK, fine. Wanting to humor them more than anything else, I hung a set of these "Magic Hangers" up in the closet and, what do ya know!! They really DO work!

When you understand HOW these work, you're gonna be a believer just like I am! As you can see, there are Two Hanger Hooks connected by a bar that has 5 openings for hangers to fit into. The large hanger hooks fit over the closet bar and then you hang your individual in those five openings in the cross-bar. Then Just Lift Up One of the Large Hanger Hooks and let it drop. When you do that, you've just TRIPLED THE SIZE OF YOUR CLOSET SPACE!!! (And see...you didn't even a sledge hammer after all, did you?)

So, what happens is that instead of your clothes hanging HORIZONTALLY across the closet bar like they usually would, they hang VERTICALLY! All that horizontal room that use to be taken up by hangers is freed up!!! So now you can hang 5 articles of clothing where you previously could only hang ONE!

Not only does this give you more room in your closet, but WAIT TIL YOU SEE HOW NEAT YOUR CLOTHES ARE!!! As I'm sure you already know, when you jam a bunch of clothes into a crowded they get wrinkled so now you either have to iron them or take them to the dry cleaners! But when you use the "Magic Hangers", your CLOTHES STAY NEAT AND WRINKLE-FREE!!!

And these "Magic Hangers" are strong! STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD UP TO 5 WINTER COATS!!! Just think...no more having to stuff those bulky overcoats in the garage or wherever you can make room! You'll have room now!

Put these in the kids' closet to keep them from fighting over closet space. (They'll probably find something else to fight about, but it won't be "no closet space"!) And these are great for college dorms, studio apartments or any place where space is a little cramped or especially when roommates need to share closet space!

As I said, we're working directly with the manufacturer on this one so we're going to give you a REALLY great price today! You can get a single hanger for just $2.97 (that's not a typo) or get a set of 8 for just $12.97! Now THAT'S A DEAL!

Single Hanger - $2.97 (Free US Shipping)

8 Pack - $12.97 (Free US Shipping - + Best Deal)

PS. We want to make this so incredibly enticing right now that EVERYONE WILL TRY THESE!!! So, this price will DEFINITELY NOT LAST!!!




I Just Found The EASIEST, Smartest, Coolest Way

To Keep ALL of My Keys Organized

All In One Place!

And I Bet This Will Work For You Too!!!

5 Ring Keyring

5 SEPARATE Key Ring System...On One Keychain!!

AND Get This -

It Has A SUPER Bright LED Light Too!

And Get This Too -

It's DIRT CHEAP - You'll Want A Dozen When You See The Price!!

It's almost embarrassing to admit, but I've got sooo many keys, it's borderline crazy! I've got keys for two different vehicles. Then there's the house (two keys for the front door, two for the back). There's one for the shed. Then I have keys for the office (4 altogether just for that!). And then there's a couple for some "miscellaneous" padlocks that I use from time to time. And those are just the keys for the locks that I know they go with!! I've still got a good half-dozen old keys that I don't even know where they go to! (But that's another story!)

Anyway, it's not a "huge" deal... just one of those "nuisance" type of things, annoying just enough to get your attention!! I've tried different ways to try and keep them organized - but nothing really worked...for any length of time, anyway. So, when I saw this keychain, I knew right away this would solve that problem!!! Let me tell you why...

The reason why THIS works is because EACH OF THE 5 KEY RINGS ARE KEPT SEPARATE! If you just try to just keep each "set" of keys "grouped" together, that doesn't work (been there...did that!) And that's because each individual key can slip inside of the ring next to it! THIS key chain MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE!!

Now I can organize my keys in a way that works best for me! I can keep EACH VEHICLE on its own separate key ring! Same thing with the house keys. Same for the office keys! And yep, I've still got another key ring for all those other "miscellaneous" ones that I'll sit down and figure out one of these days! Now...THAT'S a system I can live with!

PLUS...check this out...on one end of the keychain is a super bright LED light! It's great for light up keyholes, looking for something in the car at night! Just kind of handy to have at your fingertips!

This is the first time we've EVER had a keychain anything like this and all I can say is, for me anyway, this thing has been worth its weight in gold for the amount of wasted time and aggravation it's saved me!

But don't worry...you're not going to have to come up with any gold for this!! In fact, we've got this priced so low, you're gonna want to buy a bunch to give away as gifts! Today we've got these marked down to just $6.97 and US shipping is FREE!!! But, we can't keep this at this price for long...so run and grab a few of these while they're at this crazy low price!!

Super Wednesday Bonus!!

Super Wednesday Bonus!!

Super Wednesday Bonus!!

Want an even better deal? Order TODAY and we'll DOUBLE the deal! That's right - you'll get 2 of these fantastic Keychains for just $6.97!! WOW!! You absolutely, positively HAVE to order today to get the deal!

http://store.worldstart.com/product.php?productid=5132

PS - If you think I love this little key ring, you're right! And so will you! But you'll probably like it even better at this price - wait till tomorrow and get stuck paying $9.97 each!!

Computers 101

Q:
I was looking through my Add/Remove Programs list the other day and I noticed most of the items were updates. There were Windows Updates and others I've run for other programs in the past. Is it safe to remove them or do I need to hang on to them? Please explain!

A:
What a great question! I'm almost positive you're not the only one who has wondered that same thing at some point or another. It's true, if you go to Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and run through the list of applications you have installed on your computer, you'll find that most of them are for updates you've run in the past. There might even be some in there from years back. So, if they're so old, it's safe to assume you can get rid of them, right? Well, maybe not. Keep reading to find out why!

The easiest way to explain why it's not okay to delete some of the updates is because they're there for a reason. If your computer didn't need them, you wouldn't have had to install them in the first place. The updates are there to keep your computer working at its best and if you removed them, you'd basically be undoing the work the updates did to begin with. Plus, removing the updates could put you at risk for security holes or other vulnerabilities and trust me, you don't want that to happen!

Now, as you're going through your Add/Remove Programs, you're probably going to think your list is a bit long. But in all actuality, it's probably not as long as it could be. You see, when you run an update for one of the programs on your computer, the new material always overtakes the old. If the program you're using is programmed right, it will automatically remove any older updates you no longer need. It works the same as when you're installing a new version of a program. It's a basic rule that the new overrides the old. So, basically, the updates are already doing the removal work for you. Cool, huh?!

The same goes for Windows Updates as well. Those often include several patches and the newer patches always go right over the old ones. Patches are sometimes all rolled in together as well, so either way, you're going to have a shorter list of patches. You can remove individual patches if you want, but again, that can put you at risk for certain vulnerabilities. Like I said before, by doing that, you're just undoing the work of the patch and defeating the whole purpose.

Of course, there will be times when you need to uninstall a certain patch because of unexpected problems, but that doesn't happen too often. All in all, your best bet is to just leave the updates alone. It's really not a good idea to weed through your list and uninstall any you may think are unnecessary. A good rule to go by is if they're in your Add/Remove Programs list, they're supposed to be. They're serving a purpose, even if they look like they're just taking up space. They're not hurting anything, so just leave them be!

If you really don't like looking at them, you can uncheck the Show Updates checkbox at the top of your Add/Remove Programs window. That will hide all of the updates to make your list look a little shorter. If that makes you feel better, it's a much better option than removing something you might need on down the road. I hope this clears everything up for you.

MS Office

Issues With Duplicates

Have a lot of Excel data with a possibility of unwanted duplicates?

Looking for a quick way to locate the duplicates? (Maybe a way that doesn't involve sorting the data differently - after all sometimes we just need the information ordered the way it is. Or the worse yet, the scenario where you spend endless time searching through each one hoping to catch all of them.)

Are you using Excel 2007?

If you answered yes all three times then you're in luck because Excel 2007 has just what you need located in its Conditional Formatting choices.

With just a few clicks we can have Excel highlight any duplicated values so that you can decide which one(s) are unwanted and remove them.

To start the process, highlight the data to be checked.

Next we're looking for the Conditional Formatting button located on the Home tab of the Ribbon.

When you click the Conditional Formatting button you'll be presented with a list of choices. We need the Highlight Cells Rules.

From the bottom of the list we need to choose Duplicate Values.

The Duplicate Values dialog box will open giving you a few choices.

On the left choose what should be highlighted - duplicate values or unique values.

On the right side use the drop down list to choose how the cells will be formatted. If you don't like the preset options then choose Custom from the bottom of the list. You'll be presented with the usual Format Cells dialog box so I'm sure you'll feel right at home setting your preferred style.

When everything is set click OK.

Voila! No more searching for values - it doesn't get any easier to see them than that.

Tip of the Day

Restoring Previously Opened Folders

Are there folders you open up habitually every time you start up your computer? If so, did you know that you can set up your computer to open those folders automatically each time you boot up? Windows Vista users need only apply for this one!

Here's what you need to do to make it happen:

1.) First, open Windows Explorer or browse to any folder.

2.) Next, select "Organize" from the toolbar at the top of the window.

3.) Click on Folder and Search Options and the following window will open up on your screen:

4.) Now, click on the View tab.

5.) Check the option that says “Restore previous folder windows on log on."

6.) Click Apply and then OK.

Now, when you log off, restart or shut down Vista, it will automatically open the previously opened folders on the next boot. This is a great way to get a head start on what you were working on when you last left your system! Go forth and give it a shot!

Today's Feature

MS security Essentials

Just yesterday, Microsoft launched its newest attempt at securing Windows PCs. The product, called Microsoft Security Essentials, will be a free set of basic security tools and A/V software for windows users. This software package is not intended to be the only security software on a pc, but instead a set of tools that will provide basic protection if a computer does not have a full featured security suite. Currently, MS Security Essentials is in beta testing. As of now, MS is not accepting new users, but intends on opening testing to more users as time passes.

While this set of tools may seem like a great idea, many security experts and PC technicians (such as myself) feel that this could backfire on MS. As I mentioned above, MS Security Essentials is not a full featured security suite. If MS does not make this clear to users, they may feel that this set of tools is all they need to secure their computers. This could lead to more infections in the long run if users do not look into a full featured system and opt to only use the MS Security Essentials package.

Microsoft's Security Essentials will include basic antivirus and basic malware protection. What it will NOT include is advanced virus scanning, comprehensive firewall, PC tune up tools and Real time Malware protection. Without these more advanced tools, PC users could still be left at risk. While having these basic tools is a great idea for short term protection, MS will hopefully explain that more advanced protection should be used.

If you would like to read more about the Microsoft Security Essentials package, you can visit the beta website here: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/resources.aspx

Until next time, stay safe out there!

My enjoyment of this site harkens back to my childhood, when I was desperately trying to pronounce the names in the Bible with no front teeth.

This site brings you a pronunciation guide to names and words used in the Bible. Not only do you get a textual explanation of how it would sound, as well as, an audio version so that you can hear it for yourself.

It is so easy to navigate too! Just use one of the alphabetical menus to select the letter that the word you want to know how to say begins with. There is an audio menu and a text menu – so you can pick and chose how you want to learn to say the words.

This could be a fun addition to any Sunday school class, or just a fun way to share your faith with your family, especially with kids! Check it out today!

Special Note From Steve - WOW!! These went like wildfire the last few days! If you missed out, you've gotta grab this amazing software! Not only does it do an unbelievably incredible job at getting back deleted files, it also has one of the greatest backup systems ever conceived! Wait till you try it!

Special, Limited Run Purchase - Almost gone now!

Your Files Could Be Gone Forever Without This!

Amazing New Software Is The Ultimate 1-2 Punch!

"It's Almost Like Magic!"

Super-Smart Software Recovers Deleted Files With Point & Click Ease!

Recover Files From Internal / External HDs, Memory Cards, Flash Drives, MORE!

*** HUGE BONUS - Includes The Best Back-Up Software - Ever! ***

You'd Have To Be Crazier Than An Outhouse Rat To Miss This One!

It happens to all of us sooner or later - we click Delete (or press Format) and suddenly realize that we just killed the wrong file! Oh, that is a sick feeling, isn't it? Truth is, if you're using a computer, digital camera, flash drive, or any kind of device that stores data you WILL eventually delete an important file! We get e-mails constantly from people asking how to get back irreplaceable photos, critical documents, tax records, music etc - it ain't no fun losing important data!

Hey, only two kinds of people in this world - those that have lost critical files and those that WILL!

What do you do when disaster strikes? You know, when you realize you just accidently formatted a memory card and lost all the photos from your once-in-a-lifetime vacation. Or maybe you just accidently deleted an important document you've spent days working on. Perhaps your hard drive is starting to fail and you've just lost access to your data (been there, done that). Maybe all your music was on your MP3 player and now it seems to be gone.

What do you do now?

Does the sweat start to bead up on your forehead? Does your face turn red? Does your pulse quicken and your breathing get shallow? Do you feel that gut twisting panic start to sweep over you?

Relax!

If you have Search & Recover 5 on your computer all is not lost - not even close! THIS is the go-to software for when you need to get data BACK from the digital darkness! This phenomenal software can recover your data - even when it seems hopelessly lost forever in the abyss! PLUS we just got an absolutely amazing deal on the current version that you'd better be sitting down for! WOW - we're gonna save you some serious money today!

Search and Recover 5

First of all, Search & Recover makes getting back deleted files as simple as a few mouse clicks! Really! Once you try it, you'll be completely blown away!! It wasn't that long ago that the only people who had access to this kind of data recovery technology were high-tech pros in white lab coats - and let me tell ya - you could easily shell out HUNDREDS to get files back the way this software does!

This has several really amazing options for recovery too! Unlike some programs, this lets you select the category of files you're looking for! Have it search for deleted photos and movies, have it look for songs & sounds, have it look for emails - or have it look for ANY kind of deleted file! No matter what you need to find, this makes it quick and easy to recover!

Oh, and get this - it even has this powerhouse option called "Total Recovery" that finds all the deleted files in an area (like a folder or drive) recovers them all at once for you! Outstanding! So, even if you have a DISASTER (like an accidental formatting of a data drive / memory card / flash drive or you delete a critical folder), THIS can get it back for you! Talk about a lifesaver!

Plus, using it is oh-so-simple - we're talkin' point & click here! Really! Just tell it what you're looking for, sit back and relax! It will scan your drive and give you a complete report of everything it finds! From there, just click the files you want to recover! 

You read that right - if you can use a mouse, you can use this incredible software!

Talk about SUPERCHARGED SOFTWARE too! This can even recover data on a drive that was formatted - now THAT'S impressive! We're talking pretty much anything too - internal hard drives, external hard drives, flash drives, and even memory cards! It can recover 'em all!

Oh, and this is FANTASTIC NEWS for anyone with a digital camera! If you've ever accidently formatted a memory card that had pictures on it you wanted, you know how much that hurts! Now, just pop your memory card into your camera (or card reader), hook up to your computer and run this software! It will recover your priceless photos in no time! WOW!

OK, I know what you're thinking (didn't know I was a mind reader, did ya)! Let me guess - "OK, that's all well and good, but I'm going to wait and buy this after I have a problem."

I completely understand - but keep this in mind. Once a file has been deleted on your computer, it's only a matter of time before it gets permanently overwritten by something else, and when that happens, it can never be recovered! 

That's why you MUST have this software standing by, ready to go at a moments notice! Wait too long, and nothing can help!

PLUS - That's not all! Recovery is great, but even better would be to have a backup! I mean, think about it - what would happen if right now, as you were reading this, your hard drive completely died? Do you have a current backup? You should - we've seen it happen again and again - people get so complacent thinking that everything is going to be fine in their computer forever. Then, in the blink of an eye, disaster strikes and all their data is gone! Years of photos - gone! Entire music libraries - vaporized! All your documents, files, programs - wiped out! Just think - what would you lose if your computer died right now?

Well, this comes to the rescue (again)! This is the absolute BEST way to back up your computer! EVER! This can create an exact copy ("image" in geek-speak) of your hard drive! And, keepin' with the theme - it's super simple!

Here's how it works - you launch the wizard, follow the prompts, and create an image of your hard drive - you'll be amazed at how easy it really is - and you'll wonder why you haven't been backing up all along! Then, if disaster strikes, you can run a wizard and restore your computer back to EXACTLY the way it was when you created the image! Every file, every folder, even every program - just the way you left them! Now THAT'S the way to recover! Usually you can be back up and running in an hour! AMAZING!

My Personal Little Horror Story -

A couple years back I was testing some software on my computer. I did the install, rebooted, and the computer was totally useless. It wouldn't boot, Windows was totally corrupted - it looked like a real disaster. Can you imagine how much work it was to get that going again? 

Surprise! I was back up and running in about 45 minutes! Luckily, I had made an image of the drive and I simply restored that image! All my data, programs, etc were ready to go and in less than an hour I was back at the computer like nothing had happened! Everything was EXACTLY the way it was when I made the image!

Having an image is SOOOOOOO much easier then trying to reinstall windows, spending a day getting up to date with your patches, installing all your programs (and trying to find all the serial numbers), and getting all your data back on your computer (assuming there was any left). Why risk lost data, hours of work, and lost of frustration when you can make an image? In an hour you could be back up and running like nothing ever happened!

Disk Imaging software is normally expensive too - we're talking $80 or so - and one of the best imaging programs I've run across is actually included with this program! Even if you don't think you're gonna need the recovery software, the disk image software included with this makes it a must-have!

As if all the above weren't enough, this also has what it calls a File Terminator! This part of the software can take sensitive files and delete them permanently and forever - nothing can recover them! This is fantastic if you have sensitive information on your computer that you just don't want anyone else to ever had access to!

Important financial documents, bank statement, loan info, stock records - I'm sure you can think of a few files on your computer right now that you wouldn't want strangers to have access to! Well, when you're done with them, this can make 'em disappear - forever!

Just enable the feature in Search & Recover and it will add a Terminator item to your right-click menu! Just right-click any item you want gone forever, and hit Terminate! It's that easy! 

Your price for all of this? Well, first - let's look at what it's worth! File recovery program, hmm - $40. Imaging program - $40. File Shredder program - $30. Your total cost SHOULD be $110 - but it's NOT!!

Your price? Ready? Just $14.97 and US shipping is FREE! This is the current version you pay $40 in the stores for! Really! We made a special deal with the publisher for you because we were so impressed with it! Just wait till you try it - it's the one program no computer user should be without!
