Celebrate Memorial Day with Pride

Celebrate Memorial Day with Pride Remember our veterans Greetings! It's Memorial Day and it always brings memories of my dad. He served in the Merchant Marine in World War II and traveled overseas many times. He passed away in 1998 after living with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's for several years. I wish now that I had asked him more about his years in the service. Unfortunately in the history of the world, there has always been war. Let's all hope and pray that someday, in our lifetime, there can be peace in the world. It's not too much to ask. Take some time today to remember those who have served and protected us through all the wars and conflicts. Thank the families of those currently serving and say a little prayer for their soldier's safe return. God bless. Remember, May 31 is the final day for the FREE SHIPPING offer for my book, Taming Your Computer -- The Simple Basics and Beyond. Save $4. Click here to order now.

Computer Tip of the Week

Greetings!

FREE Translations Try it, you'll like it! Have you ever wished there was a quick way to translate text from another language into English? Well, there is. The Internet is full of wonderful treasures and FreeTranslation.com is one of them. Let's pretend that you received a message in Spanish from a long-lost friend. You don't have anyone to translate it for you, so you copy the text from the message, go to FreeTranslation.com, paste the text into the box on the right, and click Free Translation. Of course you will want to make sure that the language choices at the top of the box are correct, i.e., Spanish to English. It won't be a letter-perfect translation, but you'll get the general idea of what the message says. What will they think of next? Remember, instructions for copying and pasting are on page 80 of my book, Taming Your Computer -- The Simple Basics and Beyond. Don't forget to order your copies of Taming Your Computer -- The Simple Basics and Beyond before the end of May to receive FREE SHIPPING. By the way, have you checked out the glossary at the back of the book? It's a great resource for all those techie-terms you hear your grandkids using. Have a wonderful week!

Phoney Solicitations

Good Morning!

Phoney Solicitations See who it REALLY is!

I have to thank my friend Anita Larson for this tip. I read it in her newsletter last week. It's something I didn't know and I'll bet you didn't either. Thanks, Anita. How many times have you received an e-mail from an address that looks like your bank or credit card company or some other official looking business? They want to confirm your account or they're telling you that there's a problem with your account, or something that sounds urgent. They ask you to click on a link to verify your information to clear up the problem. I would guess that 99.9% of these solicitations are phoney -- phishing (pronounced fishing) expeditions that attempt to get your personal information to steal your identity. Anita's newsletter said that you can see who the solicitation is really from by holding your cursor over that link (the underlined text) without clicking and look at the bottom of your screen. There you will see the REAL website address of the sender. I can almost GUARANTEE that it won't be from a legitimate company or organization. DO NOT reply to these solicitations. Delete it immediately and call your bank or credit card company to verify your account. Sometimes they will ask you to forward the message to them so they can try to track down the sender. Remember, FREE SHIPPING is available on all orders of my book, Taming Your Computer -- The Simple Basics and Beyond, until May 31. That's a $4 savings. Click here to order your copy today.
