EMAIL SHORTCUTS
We Internet users still have no reliable way of determining someone's email address (other than perhaps asking him or her). But the research is made a little easier with Email-Directory.Com where there are more than 200 email directories worldwide, neatly categorized by country, interest, profession, and academic affiliation. It's worth a try next time you're trying to hunt down an address.

Have you ever needed an email address for confirmation purposes when registering for something on the Web, and didn't want to subject your email address to potential spam? Would 10 minutes be enough time? (If not, you can ask for an extension of another 10 minutes)., This free service at 10 Minute Mail may be just what you need for a disposable address that doesn't last very long.

FIND REALLY USEFUL SOFTWARE TO IMPROVE YOUR COMPUTER'S PERFORMANCE
SmartWrap analyzes and rewraps messy text, removing quote marks and unwanted line breaks. It works in Eudora with a simple drag and drop plug-in; or, outside the Eudora environment, you can put SmartWrap to good use in just about any document with the clipboard feature.

Sometimes you may wish to uninstall hidden software using the Add/Remove Programs under the Control Panel, but you may find that the program is not listed. To make it show up, browse for the file "sysoc.inf" which you should find in the Windows\NF path on your hard drive. Open this file with Notepad and examine the programs there. Some, you'll note, have "Hide" indicated. Remove "Hide" from the programs you want to show in Windows Add/Remove and save the file. While these now will appear in Add/Remove, not all can be uninstalled.
