Building From Home
Ev and Leo live in a beautiful part of the country and are developing an online business from their home outside Portland, Oregon. In addition to their new website for collectible sports magazines, old car ads, and other memorabilia (kollection-konnection) they have branched out into magazine subscriptions.
It’s a natural. People read magazines — lots of them — but they can’t always find where to sign up for a subscription. Sure, schools offer them from time to time as fund raisers but where is a school kid and a pencil when you need one?
A Base For Your Business
How would you use a website? eBay’s recent change in fees make storing large numbers of slow selling items in store inventory less affordable. The base price for a store, with even minimally affordable monthly, good till canceled (GTC) listing fees is nearly $50.00 a month. At five cents per item per month the costs roll up quickly. A thousand items, not unusual for many sellers, takes the basic price to $100.00 a month, and final value fees (sales commissions) takes it through the roof.
Windows Registry Repair
If you run any version of Microsoft Windows then you have a Windows registry. This is a place, actually a database, on your computer that stores settings and options for your hardware, operating system, most software (programs), and user settings. It often gets cluttered with extraneous entries from programs that were deleted but didn’t get entirely removed, or from failed attempts at installation of new software and, for other reasons, it may contain corrupted information. This can slow down the operation of your computer or, in fact, cause it to fail to operate correctly, even locking up from time to time.
Open Productivity
I’ve written about this before but it really is such a good solution for so many that I feel I need to revisit the topic.
For many years now Microsoft has dominated the office productivity software market with products like Work, Excel, Power Point, and Publisher, banishing the likes of WordPerfect, Lotus 1 2 3, SuperCalc, and so many others, to a distant memory. Productivity products like these are often bundled together into what is known as an office productivity suite. When Word, Excel, Outlook, Power Point, Publisher, and other software packages are bundled together like this it is known as Microsoft Office. And it is quite expensive; often several hundred dollars.
Affiliate Websites
There is a lot of heavy “get rich with this program” promotion going on for what I call “cookie-cutter” affiliate websites. You sign up, pay a fee (often a down stroke and a monthly hosting/service price) and you get a pre-made website. You are told you can just sit back and watch the dollars flow in. Typically the only person that gets rich with this kind of a deal is the person running the website program in the first place. Even re-sellers of the program, if they have their own affiliate offering, seldom make any real money!
Free Kindle Reader
We’re pretty excited about the Kindle. It’s a powerful digital book reader with a great number of features, not the least of which is you can download any of some 450,000 book and periodical titles from Amazon. The Kindle is an expensive toy for some and a wonderful learning tool for others.
Just recently Amazon announced a free software version of the Kindle reader for your PC. We’ve installed it and had a look and we’re quite impressed. It is easy to use and gets the job done without a lot of fuss. You can get your own copy HERE and start reading Kindle books today.

Can A Quality Office Productivity Suite Really Be FREE?
Competing head-on with Microsoft’s Office suite, OpenOffice.org offers a full, professional, suite of office productivity programs that rivals what the software giant charges $hundreds for and they offer it for free. That’s right. FREE!
How can they do this? There must be a catch, right? Nope. It’s a thing called Open Source that makes it all work. Open Source is about serious people who get together to create great stuff and make it available for others without charge. And there’s a lot of this going around lately. Chat boards, discussion forums, word processors, games, movie viewers, music players, file transfer (FTP) programs, web browsers, whole operating systems that rival Windoze, even the software that makes this website run, are all professional-grade software packages available for free. They are not sold. They have no price. They are free to the taker.
