Ringo

Looking for a site to put your friends emails, pictures, birthdays etc.
Try Ringo. It's Free and the nice thing is that you can easily tell everyone who is signed up with your service when your email, physical address or telephone number change without having to email them or contact them directly.
As long as they are on your contact list and they are signed up for Ringo. All of your contacts and there contacts will be updated with the correct information.
I've seen this a while on American Online. But it was nice that someone else made a service that was not associated with a paid service. This makes it easier for you to still get the contact information up to date.

Just email me at Manny@plasencia.us and in subject area say "I Want Gmail invite."
I would be glad to send you an invite.
You can't go wrong with 2 gig of storage. Hopefully to increase soon.
It's still in beta after a year but it works well and I am glad that they are not releasing the final product until they do extensive work to make a final product.
Why can't Microsoft do the same.

HP Settlement

This is a special email sent to me via HP for a HP computer that I currently own. If you changed emails or moved. You should read the information below and check the links to see if your computer is listed on the lawsuit. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT NOTICE What is this lawsuit about? The lawsuit the Court preliminarily approved for settlement as a nationwide class action and this notice is titled Melissa Dukes and Thomas J. Dolan, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. Hewlett-Packard Company, Case No. CV-2002-270. Plaintiffs allege that HP committed deceptive and unfair trade practices because HP allegedly did not disclose to Plaintiffs and Class Members that HP: (a) placed recovery software on certain PC hard disk drives, which reduced the storage space on their computer hard drives; (b) did not provide them CD-ROMs containing recovery software; and, (c) loaded a version of the Windows XP operating system that did not include the "ValueAdd" and "Support" folders, which were included in stand-alone versions of Windows XP available for purchase separately. Plaintiffs claim that the foregoing practices caused damages to them and the Class. However, HP believes and contends that the current configuration of the Class PC Models is preferred, and that hard drive recovery is superior to recovery with CDs. HP denies any and all liability for the claims alleged in Plaintiffs_ lawsuit. By preliminarily approving the Settlement of this lawsuit, the Court has not decided in favor of the Plaintiffs or HP. What are My Options if I am a Class Member? You May File a Claim to Receive the Settlement Benefits. Class Members must submit a properly completed Requested Relief Form by September 9, 2005. Class Members may complete a Requested Relief Form, or request a copy of the form, online at http://www.computersettlement.com/.

Tips for Recording Word Microns

as per Dummies Etip here is a good tip to know

Tips for Recording Word Macros


About the only thing that's not recorded by the macro recorder are mouse movements within the document. The macro recorder will record buttons or menu choices you click, but if you move around the document with the mouse or select text with the mouse, those actions aren't recorded. Remember to use the keyboard for navigating or selecting text while recording a macro.

Here are other tips to keep in mind as you record macros:

Macros are normally stored in the global Normal.dot template. To store a macro in the template attached to the current document, change the setting of the Record Macro dialog box's Store Macro In list box.

If you use the Find or Replace commands, be sure to move to the beginning of the document first.

Avoid any commands that depend on the content of a document that is active when you record the macro.

Time Warner Giving out TV via PC

Yes this is true. Time Warner Cable is giving people in San Diego Cable 75 cable channels via Personal Computer. If it goes right this may change how we view watch TV in the future.
Its already available now. They have been selling for a while now dual monitors that you can watch television and use it for your computer as well. But the prices I believe are too high now. Maybe it vendors start lowering the prices then consumers will catch on to this phase. Stay tune and pray that this goes national soon.

Microsoft Pirated CD's

Yes if your one of the millions of people who have Microsoft pirated CD's.
These are your alternatives.
1- Disable Windows update - If you don't your windows operating system will be locked. And you will not be able to sign on to your computer again. Losing your valuable data. Because the only real way out is to buy a license version of windows or reformat your hard drive again.
2- Window has been telling us for years that they were going to lock people out of their pc's if they have pirated software. Guess what they're doing it now.
3- If you bought a pc from a vendor and windows is telling you that you have a pirated windows license. Windows will give you a new license. But here's the catch. You have to rat out on the vendor or individual who sold you that computer.
The task from what I hear is tedious but for a free license that's what you have to do.
