The Computer Guy's Space

We would like to help our FB friends and Blog readers avoid a service call. 

If you have more than one PC in your home or small office and all of them suddenly cannot surf the web, then the likely culprit is your Internet Service Provider.  Please always call your ISP before incurring a billable service call. 

If a computer service company comes on site and it turns out to be a problem with your ISP, then you will be billed for a minimum one-hour visit even though the problem is not able to be resolved until you get your service re-established.

Another little tip....If your Internet service is working and your ISP suddenly sends you some software in the mail and you aren't expecting it, do not load it without first checking with them to make sure you really have to load it.  Sometimes the software they send out "breaks" things.  And then you have to hire a company like ours to come out and fix what they broke.

In  MEMORIAM - 63 YEARS LATER

Please  read the little cartoon carefully, it's  powerful. Then read the comments at the  end.
I'm doing my small part by  forwarding this message. I hope you'll consider  doing the same.

In  Memoriam

It  is now more than 60 years after the Second World  War in Europe ended  This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain,  in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million  Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900  Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred,  raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German, Russian, and American Peoples looking the other  way!

Now, more than ever,  with Iraq, Iran,  and others, claiming  the Holocaust to  be 'a myth,' it's imperative to make sure the  world never forgets, because there are others  who would like to do it again.

This is intended to reach 40 million people  worldwide!

Join us and be a link in the  memorial chain and help us distribute it around  the world.
Please send a link to this item to 10  people you know and ask them to continue  the memorial  chain.

Here's to US!!!!

No matter what our kids and the new generation think about us,

WE ARE AMAZING !!!!

OUR LIFE IS LIVING PROOF !!!!

To Those of  Us  Born

1930 - 1979

At the end of this email is a quote of the month by Jay Leno.. If you don't read anything else, please read what he said.

Very well stated, Mr. Leno.

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!! 

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads.

As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes.

Riding in the back of a pick- up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar. And, we weren't overweight..   WHY?

Because we were always outside playing...that's why!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on..

No one was able to reach us all day. And, we were OKAY.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps

and then ride them down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Play stations, Nintendo's and X-boxes. There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet and no chat rooms.

WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We would get spankings with wooden spoons, switches, ping pong paddles, or just a bare hand and no one would call child services to report abuse.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them.

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team.

Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.

Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever.

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.

If YOU are one of them, CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.

While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave and lucky their parents were.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it ?

The quote of the month is by

Jay Leno:

'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'

For those that prefer to think that God is not watching over us...go ahead and delete this.

For the rest of us...pass this on.

That’s right.  Some employers are now asking for your credentials to get into your social networking sites. 

Here is a clip from an article:

Last June, the city of Bozeman, Mont., became notorious when it implemented a policy that required anyone applying to a city job to hand over logins and passwords for any social networking sites they used. We're not just talking about Facebook and MySpace, either. They wanted access to chat rooms and forums frequented by applicants. After people made a fuss about the invasive policy, Bozeman officials backed down and decided to adjust their application requirements.

That type of interview requirement doesn't seem to have caught on with other employers. Then again, Victory Christian School in North Augusta, S.C., recently announced it wants its students to hand over the same information if they might be acting in a way not in line with the school's policies.

Perhaps job seekers should expect to experience these demands sooner than later. Naturally, questions arise: Is this legal? What if I don't hand over my information? What's the point to all this?

Please give us some feedback.  What do you think about this?  We’d love to know. (We think it is outrageous.)
