Tip of the Day

Installing a New Program

When installing a new program in Windows, it is recommended that you close all running programs. Actually, you probably don't need to close each and every program on your system, but most people recommend that you do. The quickest way to get everything shut down is to  hit CTR-ALT-DEL.

Shut down everything but Explorer and Systray then go ahead and install. Just reboot your computer to get it all back. You could also right click each program in your system tray (by the clock) and select "close" or "disable" on everything but your monitor and sound.

Something to Think About by Jan Tincher

Did you know there was a cure for heartache?

There is. Laughter. Have you ever sat through a funny Marx Brothers show and felt the same way you did before you started watching it? Probably not. I taped a whole video cassette of World's Funniest Videos and I watch it when I get to feeling down. I can't help but laugh. It may not cure everything, but it takes away my heartache for as long as I'm watching, and many times way beyond.

What makes you laugh? Figure it out and use it often.

Food for Thought

A Plan For Promoting an Affiliate Program

Affiliate programs are a great way to earn a little extra money each month working the Internet. While some people earn up to $1,000 or more per month, most who work affiliate programs seriously land $200 to $700.

Here's a brief plan for making money with these programs: 1. Put a two or three line ad about the program in the signature file of all your emails (that bit of info that goes after your note). "Sig" files are a powerful way to include a marketing message along with your personal notes--probably the most effective marketing tool of all.

2. Get your own web site. It's hard to establish your own identity and customer trust if you are sending people to a generic site provided by the program.

3. Place free ads on sites where other people are pushing affiliate programs. These are usually the same folks who buy.

4. Place paid ads in ezines.  Learn how to write effective affiliate program ads and where to place them. A good place to start is http://adv-marketing.com/marketing/int03classified.htm

Trivia

There was a time when every single source of heat and illumination in a home was activated not by flipping a switch or pushing a button, but by striking a match. Stick matches were kept all around the house. Some were in a tin holder on the kitchen wall next to the stove, and others in more decorative containers throughout the house.

At the Bookstore
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

For some reason, the bookstore clerk couldn't get the computer to recognize my preferred customer card. Peering over her shoulder at the screen, I said, "There's part of the problem. It shows my birth date as 12/30/1899."

"That's right," my husband chimed in. "She was born in June, not December."

I feel inadequate when talking with a mechanic, so when my vehicle started making a strange noise, I sought help from a friend. A car nut, he told me how to explain the difficulty when I took it in for repair.

At the shop, I proudly recited, "The timing is off, and there are premature detonations, which may damage the valves."

As I smugly glanced over the mechanic's shoulder, I saw him write on his clipboard, "Lady says it makes a funny noise."

A diner was agitated that the waiter had brought him no spoon with his coffee. "This coffee," he said loud enough for most of the other patrons to hear, "is going to be pretty hot to stir with my fingers."

The waiter reddened, made a hasty retreat to the kitchen and returned shortly with another cup of coffee.

"This one isn't so hot, sir," he beamed.

A few years ago, I decided to visit my brother who was stationed in Germany. I assumed that most Germans would speak English. But I found that many people spoke only their native tongue - including the ticket inspector on the train. He punched my ticket, then chatted cordially for a bit, making gestures like a windmill. I simply nodded from time to time to show him that I was interested. When he had gone, an American woman soldier in the compartment leaned forward and asked if I spoke German.

"No," I confessed.

"Then that explains," she said, "why you didn't bat an eyelid when he told you that you were on the wrong train."

A Network Technician tells this user that IT is taking the network switch down, which will affect the user's PC and printing connections for about half an hour.

Three minutes later, he sees the user pop her head out of her cubicle.

User: "Are you bringing anything else down?"

Tech: No, why?

User: "Because my coffee pot just went out."
