Happy Turkey Day! |
|
| From
the editor |
We celebrate a couple of
great holidays this month. Thanksgiving Day reminds us
to be thankful for the countless blessings each of us
has received over the past year. Veterans Day
(November 11), of course, honors those service men and
women who have helped to protect the abundant freedoms
we now enjoy. Be sure to give a sincere "thanks" to
Veterans you see this month for their personal
sacrifices and for their dedication to our great
country.

Time is a very precious element for most of
us; however, the Help Desk is asking that if
you are not able to log in and connect the
first time that you try, that you restart your
computer, and try again in five to ten
minutes. If you are still not able to log in
and connect after this time period, please
feel free to call the Help Desk. Please
remember that it is always helpful if you have
the error message ready that you are receiving
when you are unable to connect. Error messages
will typically have a number with them. Please
collect as much information from these error
messages as you can. It goes a long way in
helping us.

Shortcut Method Of Adding Attachments To E-mails
To add an attachment to an e-mail message, most people
click on the paperclip icon of the e-mail message to be sent and then
search for the file to be attached via the "Insert Attachment" or
"Choose Attachment" Dialog Box. There's an even easier and usually
faster method to attach pictures or other documents to an e-mail
message. It's called the drag-and-drop method. This method works whether
you use Outlook Express, Messenger or Eudora on either Windows or
Macintosh operating systems.
If you've already located the file you want to send as an attachment,
you simply do the following:
1. Create a new message in your e-mail client software.
2. Click your cursor arrow on the file you wish to attach to this
new message with the left mouse button.
3. Keeping the mouse button pressed, drag the file over to the
message window.
4. Drop the file when you have it positioned anywhere over the
body of the message and release the mouse button.
5. Your client software will automatically add the file to the
message as an attachment.

Q: When I type in a website address it
sent me to an entirely different page than the one I typed in. What just
happened?
A: More than likely, this happened because the web address you
typed in is actually owned by the site you ended up with. For
example, if you type in www.grandma.com,
you would expect to go to a website that would contain information
relating to being a grandma, but instead you end up at 1-800-Car-Loan
website. That is because the car loan company also owns the domain
name www.grandma.com. They
have "redirected" their grandma.com address to carLoan.com to hopefully
sell more car loans.
Send me your questions and we will do our best
to answer them!
