| If you mention a URL in an e-mail message
be sure to include the "http://" at the beginning of the address.
The mail reader/browser will then interpret it as an internet URL
and make it a clickable link. Without the "http:'' the browser treats
it like regular text. Being able to click on the link is a lot better
that cutting and pasting it or typing it in. Give it a try.
Jack Finkbiner sent me the following via e-mail: This url will help you to determine if it is your server or your phone line causing a slow hook up on the internet. http://www.3com.com/56k/need4_56k/linetest.html It sure helped me out. Jack Finkbiner ( Jack followed the example above and the link was "clickable" within my e-mail message -- Good job Jack! ) -- wrg
When you send the same e-mail message to a lot of people, make yourself the main recipient and BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) everyone else. Doing this will protect the identity of the people on your list and their mail will look much neater too. Don't you hate to be on a list of 100 people to get an e-mail message? Start using this tip and pass it along to your friends.
Have you heard of SMTP, FTP or POP3? Do you know what they are? There is a source for a Glossary of Inernet Terms. The list is periodically updated to make sure it stays current with changing technology.
Having trouble finding something with a search engine? Ron Greenwood told me about a new way to search. Dogpile.com (that's not a typo) will submit your search word or phrase to several search engines and present you with a list of GOOD hits. I like it so much that I put it at the top of my Search Engine bookmark list. Try it --- you'll like it!
Have you ever had a phone number but didn't know who it belonged to?** I found a very interesting "Reverse Phone Directory" that will take care of that for you. ** "to whom it belongs" would be better grammer, but I write the way I talk ;-)
