‘     YOU DESERVE A PC THAT CAN…      ‘

‘     ==================================    ‘

‘     1. Send the current word processor (or     ‘

‘     spreadsheet) document as an E-Mail     ‘

‘     attachment when you choose:    ‘

‘          FileàSendToàMail Recipient    ‘

‘     And continue to choose a recipient and     ‘

‘     press [Send].     ‘

 

‘     2. Send the current word processor (or    ‘

‘     spreadsheet) document by Fax when you     ‘

‘     choose:     ‘

‘          FileàWinFax    ‘

‘     And continue to choose a recipient and     ‘

‘     press [Send].     ‘

 

‘     3. Use a contact manager like ACT,    

‘     GoldMine or even Outlook as a master    ‘

‘     directory that lets you select who to send to    ‘

‘     and then send off a multi-person E-Mail or    ‘

‘     Fax and keep a record of what was sent, to      ‘

      whom and when.     ‘

 

‘     4.  Makes you look good every time by insuring    ‘

‘     automatically that your company name, phone,    ‘

‘     fax and E-Mail are always included on every      ‘

‘     communication and every page right where they     ‘

‘     should be.     ‘

 

‘     5.  Prints envelopes as easily as you print     ‘

‘     letters without any re-typing of already-typed     ‘

‘     addresses.    ‘

 

‘     These simple capabilities are reasonable     ‘

‘     expectations you deserve to have working for    ‘

‘     you whenever you sit down at your PC to be     ‘

‘     productive.  The challenging part is that they    

’     become available at the end of a set-up process   

‘     that  includes:    ‘

‘     *  Properly installing all your software title-by-title.   ‘

‘     *  Adding a few customizations to make actually    ‘

‘         doing work as simple and intuitive as possible.      ‘

“     *  Integrating your software with settings that allow   ‘

‘         it to work together (e.g. Fax from Word      ‘

‘         processor or E-Mail to a contact list).     ‘

‘     *  Implementing finishing touches like templates    ‘

‘         that put your logo, and contact info. where its     ‘

‘         needed, automatically.     ‘

 

‘     If your PC isn’t yet what you deserve, please      ‘

‘     don’t hesitate to call on 2SS.Com to help you       ‘

‘     answer questions about how to get there,      ‘

      where to purchase, and what it might cost.      ‘

‘     We’d be pleased to assist you with some free   

‘     advice by E-Mail or phone, or by becoming     ‘

‘     your consultants in creating the PC you deserve!      ‘

 

‘     UPGRADE OFFER   ‘

‘     Many of you know we’ve been developing a     ‘

‘     new business interest at 2SS.Com.  In formulating    ‘

‘     it we’ve positioned ourselves to offer basic     ‘

‘     Windows 2000 Prof. upgrades for as little as $300    ‘

‘     (including a Windows 2000 Prof. UPGRADE     ‘

‘     License) depending on your software and    

‘     hardware requirements.  If you’re thinking about     ‘

‘     an upgrade of your Pentium II or higher PC, ask     ‘

      about our ‘NO FILES LOST – UPGRADE      ‘

‘     GUARANTEE’      ‘

‘     QUESTIONS?     ‘

‘     -------------------------------------------------------------     ‘

‘     WHO WILL OWN YOUR NAME?

‘     The controversial Internet naming authority      ‘

‘     (meeting in London) is making new ‘top-level’    

‘     domain names like ".name" that could upstage    ‘

‘     the tried-and-true ".com."      ‘

 

‘     The authority (aka ICANN), has chosen     ‘

‘     seven companies to manage and issue various     ‘

‘     parts of the master list of all domain names     ‘

‘     internationally.    ‘

 

‘     Each company will be authorized to sell and     ‘

‘     manage names with new suffixes: ".name,"      ‘

‘     ".biz," ".info," ".museum," ".pro," ".coop" and      ‘

‘     ".aero" in addition to the current ".com,"      ‘

‘     ".net" and ".org." domains.     ‘

 

‘     One such company, Global Name Registry, is a     ‘

‘     small Internet start-up with rights to the “.name”    

‘     registry.  They are expected to reap millions of     ‘

‘     dollars from handing out domain names to     ‘

‘     individuals.  And, if Global Name Registry has    ‘

‘     its way, it will become the electronic world's      ‘

‘     main identity tool.     ‘

 

‘     For example, your name might become your      ‘

‘     cell phone number as well as your email     ‘

‘     address and Web page.  With a password it      ‘

‘     could also be enough to transfer money or pay    ‘

‘     for online purchases using a variety of      ‘

’     electronic devices.      ‘

 

‘     It could be a welcome initiative that will allow      

‘     people to get rid of bucket loads of passwords.   ‘

‘     It (the international exclusive right to sell a      ‘

‘     person's own name!) is also a great deal of     ‘

’     power for a small start-up company.  For    ‘

‘     more information see a related article at     ‘

http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2766691,00.html     ‘

 

 

‘     IS YOUR BUSINESS ON eBAY?     ‘

‘     Businesses have discovered and begun to     ‘

‘     use eBay. During the last 12+ months, much of    ‘

‘     eBay’s merchandise has shifted sharply from     ‘

‘     collectibles and bric-a-brac to more practical    ‘

‘     items  ranging from power drills to socks.     ‘

‘     The transformation is due in large part to     ‘

‘     growing popularity among retailers, manuf-     ‘

‘     acturers and liquidators, who are now using      ‘

‘     eBay as a new sales channel to unload     ‘

‘     returns, refurbished merchandise and a large    ‘

‘     variety of other goods. (This item was drawn    ‘

‘     from a more detailed article available at:     ‘

http://www.msnbc.com/news/581159.asp?0na=2214142-)     ‘

‘     PRODUCT WATCH     ‘

‘     -------------------------------------------------------------     ‘

‘     KYOCERA SMARTPHONE QCP 6035     ‘

‘     Finally, one device, two functions - handled well!    ‘

‘     The Kyocera ($399 to $499 street, with a      ‘

‘     one-year digital phone service contract from      ‘

‘     Verizon) is a versatile device that can lighten    ‘

‘     your load and cut purchase, service, and      ‘

‘     support costs.     ‘

 

‘     It’s a tri-mode CDMA phone and a full-blown     ‘

‘     Palm OS PDA with 8MB of RAM. If you      ‘

‘     issue or plan to issue Palm PDAs and phones      ‘

‘     in your firm, it’s a natural replacement.  The     ‘

‘     Kyocera at 7.4 ounces and measuring     ‘

‘     5.5 x 2.6 x 0.9 inches (HWD), is a multi-     ‘

‘     function device you’ll be willing to carry.    ‘

 

 

‘     MAXATTACH     ‘

‘     Maxtor(R) is introducing a file server      ‘

‘     capable of packing nearly a TERABYTE in      ‘

‘     (that’s a thousand gigabytes) just 3U     ‘

‘     (3 levels or about 18 inches) of rack space --   ‘

‘     the MaxAttach(TM) NAS 4100.     ‘

 

‘     Translation:  It will never be worth cleaning     ‘

‘     ‘off your hard disk if you plan to buy a new     ‘

      PC at some point in the not-too-distant future.     ‘

      And, you’ll be able to save on that hard disk     ‘

‘     just about anything you can imagine including    ‘

‘     favorite TV shows, movies, music collections    ‘

‘     and more.     ‘
