Hi all
As some of you know, I own a multimedia company - a lil web design, a lil video, etc etc - all that high end geeky stuff that makes some of you shudder in fear or disregard as stuff only cyborgs understand. ;-) and you might be right.
Occationally some of you ask a web question or video question and I got to thinking it might be a good idea to throw some tech tips out there at you from time to time.
Todays tech tip is web related. Im sure you have been spammed or suffer from pop up hell from time to time. Your inbox and email are worthless most of the time and on and on. Well there are several things I wanted to turn you all on to. First - most of you more than likely use Interner Explorer or Netscape ( maybe AOL's Browser or MSN's ) If you do - you are doomed. More so from IE. Thats no surprise for most of you Im sure. There is hope however.
There is a broswer called FIREFOX that is your saving grace. But before you install FIREFOX you will need to install a program called AD_AWARE www.lavasoft.de/ the freeware version will get rid of SOME of those nasty tracking, spyware, and pain inthe ass ware that drives you nuts.
Then go over to www.mozilla.org/products/
And download and install FIREFOX and THUNDERBIRD.
Thunderbird is the email program. Firefox is the web browser. Thunderbird will work for people who presently use OUTLOOK or NETSCAPE mail - not for people who use AOL, YAHOO, MSN or get their mail online thru a browser.
I can not say enough about these products - they are FREE, they are AWESOME and they WORK.
Now they are a little advanced so if you arent a full blown geek I would wait until your own personal full blown geek stops by and have them help you out. You will be glad you did. Go to the links I popped into this message and read up on this stuff for yourself - if you have any questions shoot me a message and I'll do what I can to help you out.
See - I must be feeling better? Right?
Hope this helps - if you have a question shoot it my way - be it web, or graphics or how to shoot a prefect hunting video ;-)
