Jim Edwards here with a “refrigerator” article…

Now you might ask… “What the heck is a refrigerator
article?”

Simple…

This is one of those articles that my newspaper readers
email me and say they liked it so much, the cut it out and
taped it to the ‘fridge!

It’s got some really good tips in it I think you’ll like.

Feel free to share this article on your blog, on your
website, in your autoresponder, or in your newsletter (see
simple reprint instructions at the end).

To your success!

Jim

PS – My buddy, Armand Morin, may have just put the folks
who sell Camtasia out of business… at least as far as all
us information marketers are concerned.

He has just released his own “Screen Cam Software” – a
suite of tools that makes creating screen capture videos
like I make for my “I Gotta Tell You” newsletter an absolute
breeze.

In fact, here’s exactly what I had to say about the software
after I got a sneak preview:

“WOW! I thought nothing could replace Camtasia, but you
guys have taken all the stuff an information marketer needs
to create screen capture info-products, taken out all the
extra junk you don’t need, and made it push-button-simple
to point, click, and create professional level screen
capture videos. This is a must-have if you plan to quickly
create multi-media info-products!”

charges, check this out now:

Time and Money Saving Computer Tips Everyone Can Use

As hard to believe as this may sound, sometimes the
solution to a computer problem doesn’t involve spending
more money.

Sometimes, the solution to your problem lies in just
knowing how to do something a little differently, or
finding one of those “hidden” solutions that usually take a
week to discover.

Based on that model, the following tips should save you at
least $200 and 3 weeks work!

** Free, Fast Anti-Virus **

Now I know some of the “purists” out there will barely
contain themselves from emailing me to say how they
disagree with what I’m about to write, but I know they’ll
control their urges.

I own seven computers of various levels of maturity (one is
5 years old and running strong).

My oldest laptop needed a virus update, but when I
installed Norton 2005, the system just couldn’t handle the
weight of such a huge program.

Solution: log on to www.grisoft.com and download the Free
edition of AVG Anti-Virus.

Much less processor intensive than the bigger anti-software
players, this program gave my old laptop adequate
protection and breathing room to perform other computing
tasks besides keeping the anti-virus running.

** Use Keyboard Shortcuts **

Hit the “CTRL+Z” keys and you can almost always undo the
last action taken in virtually any Windows program.

Knowing this keyboard combination has saved the life of my
computer (by not throwing it into the street) and my sanity
on numerous occasions.

“CTRL+D” in Internet Explorer will instantly create a
“bookmark” in your favorites folder while “CTRL+B” enables
you to organize those bookmarks into folders.

The problem, however, arises when you want to learn all
these keyboard shortcuts, especially in Microsoft Office
applications.

With Microsoft Word at least, you can set up the program to
display the keyboard shortcuts whenever you hold the mouse
over a button.

Got to “Tools” -”Customize” – “Options” and select the
“Show Shortcut Keys In Screen Tips.”

This will cause the shortcut key combination to appear
whenever available for a certain function.

** Slow Surfing? **

If your Internet Explorer starts giving you problems, you
might want to clean up your “Temporary Internet Files.”

Most people don’t realize it, but when you leave a web
page, it doesn’t leave you!

Most of the time you keep a copy of websites you visit on
your hard drive and, over time, they build up.

Here’s one way to clear out those old files. Click your
“Start” button, then “All Programs,” “Accessories,” “System
Tools” and “Disk Cleanup.”

After an initial check of your hard drive (which can take
quite some time if you’ve never used the utility), you can
check the boxes of the files you wish to delete.

To speed up your surfing, at a minimum, make sure you
delete the “Temporary Internet Files.”

** Your House From Space **

Google.com’s “lab” is cooking another nifty gadget for
driving directions. Log on to maps.google.com and get
directions to virtually any U.S. location.

What makes this tool “cool” is the “satellite” link at the
top of the page which enables you to see your destination
from satellite photos taken from outer space.
