Are You Paying Twice For The Same Virus Protection?

Chances are that you're paying for virus protection twice. If you are a person, business, or non-profit who has an internet connection, check your bills! Today, I was reminded to update this article and send it out again.  I was helping my church fix and update their computers.  One had current virus protection, the other one's protection ended over a year ago.  The one without virus protection had 377 indications of malware! The church was paying $97 for a year's worth of virus protection directly to a virus protection company.   PLUS they were paying $9.49 a month to their internet provider for, you guessed it, virus protection.  It's been that way for years. Of course,

Online appointment scheduling software is both a productivity and client service tool.  It's one way clients and prospects can schedule a convenient and timely call with you.  But remember,  some people prefer to schedule appointments by phone or email while others enjoy using an online scheduler.

Free MS Office Training For All!

When you put aside 10 minutes every morning for computer training, in one month, you'll increase your productivity by saving yourself many extra steps, over and over again. Last week I taped a podcast series for an association and learned that the PowerPoint slides I submitted weren’t formatted properly.  Someone at the association fixed them. While my version of slides looked great, I had used square slides when the current preference is rectangle. What I also realized was that it had been nearly 10 years since I attended a computer class. Egads!  Today I added a 2-year reminder to my Outlook calendar so that I don’t get this far behind ever again. So, this week, I

I was recently reminded about a situation that happened to me many years ago; because something similar recently happened to a client. More than a decade ago, I couldn't find an article I'd included in one of my e-books on my external hard drive, so I went online to find a version that I may have given another blogger to use. (Bloggers did a lot of guest authoring in the 2000's.) To my surprise, I found a current version of the entire e-book in a PDF or MS Word downloadable format on my website! I
