#3 - JUST UPDATED at 2SS.Com Get Help Now

We recently completed an update to...

Support Links & Phone Nos. for Popular software titles.

This little known tool available at 2SS.Com plugs you, directly into the software help and support resources needed by many small businesses.  First authored in January 2006 the table listing includes for each software title:

  • Software Title / Mfg.

  • Key Purpose

  • Internet (Buy, get info. and/or download)

  • Internet Support

  • Telephone Support

  • E-mail Support

  • Comments, notes & common troubleshooting issues

If you are trying to resolve a software problem fast we always recommend that you call us first, and we typically do not charge for telephone support aimed at helping you go in the right direction.  But if you have a specific feature you're troubleshooting or you know that your software comes with application-oriented support, this list can help you get your technical support request started FAST!

Note MS Word and PDF versions are both
 available for you to save on your PC. 

Privacy and how to help insure yours!
 

Have you considered all the dimensions of your personal privacy?

Following are a number of dimensions for considering personal privacy, and some things that those who are interested might do to achieve more of it!  This guide begins by identifying dimensions of privacy including CREDIT & FINANCE, MEDICAL INFORMATION, ONLINE and E-MAIL, TELEPHONE, and PERSONAL or RESIDENCE ADDRESS.

We've confined our suggestions to what we suspect is reasonably legal and proper, but we're not lawyers and in any case you need to judge for yourself.  There are of course a number of other (We'd say 'over-the-top') things one might do to achieve or improve privacy that range from just fictitious to totally illegal.  In addition a Google search on 'Personal Privacy' will lead to a number of on-line and off-line resources on the topic.

To see more details on EACH of the above DIMENSIONS of privacy please see our eBay guide with the same title (Click here!)

Considerations that you'll find in our detailed guide for just the dimension labeled 'ONLINE and E-MAIL' privacy include:

  • Internet

  • Passwords

  • Opt-Out of on-line info. gathering 

  • Spam

  • Renew

  • Google

  • Tips for Protecting Personal Online Privacy

  • E-mail forwarding
