<br>

Two months ago I mentioned that I was going to prepare some<br>
training videos (and handouts) on learning Microsoft Excel.<br>
<br>
Well the first of these is almost ready!<br>
<br>
This first set of videos will help you get the most out of<br>
Microsoft Excel by understanding &quot;Functions and Formulas.&quot;<br>
<br>
Due to my wife's background in Physics, Maths and Accountancy<br>
her input will make this series all the better too..<br>
<br>
...AND THERE IS A TWIST!<br>
<br>
For a limited number of folk I am going to offer a Master<br>
Resale License - this basically means you will be able to<br>
sell the Training Videos and keep ALL the PROFIT!<br>
<br>
I will supply all the original videos, sales website with<br>
graphics etc.<br>

     <description><![CDATA[If you are in the US - "Happy 4th July"

...this email SHOULD have gone out last week but I had a chest
infection!

This newsletter is a very short one, and a little bit
different.

I have created a new website I would like your opinion
on.

I realize that it is not going to appeal to everyone, but
it is relevant to Windows XP.

The website is a small one containing a growing collection
of Videos that review the latest type of PC:

The UMPC or "Ultra Moble PC" (only just released last month).

The site is at:

<a href="http://www.umpc.tv">http://www.umpc.tv</a>

...I am looking to create more "mini" websites like this
that talk about a particular technology with the hope of
educating the visitor.

So I would love your feedback!]]></description>

1) HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE USB 2.0 ON MY COMPUTER?<br>
<br>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
If you have an older computer but want to use modern<br>
devices with it you are probably going to require a<br>
high speed USB 2.0 connection.<br>
<br>
But since they look exactly the same as the older USB 1.1<br>
connections - how can you tell what you have...?<br>

May 2006 Windows XP Newsletter PART 1<br>
<br>
...Well it is around midnight here in the UK but before I head<br>
of to bed I just had time to send out this short newsletter<br>
informing you of some Beta 2 downloads from Microsoft and<br>
a warning about a virus spreading via Microsoft Word documents.<br>
<br>
If the term beta 2 means nothing it is a term used in software<br>
to describe software that is not yet fully finished, but good<br>
enough for the public to try and then give feedback to the<br>
software company...<br>
<br>
PS - Don't forget to download your free 21 page guide...<br>

<p>1) THE WINDOWS VISTA UPGRADE ADVISOR GUIDE.<br>
<br>
-----------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
Last week (17th May) Microsoft released a tool that allows<br>
you to check your computer to see if it is ready to upgrade<br>
to Windows Vista.<br>
<br>
...so I have created a 21 page guide to the tool and answered<br>
a few common questions about the tool.<br>

There is currently a new virus spreading via infected Microsoft<br>
Word documents.<br>
<br>
Microsoft are due to release a patch soon BUT in the meantime<br>
I highly recommend that you DO NOT:<br>
<br>
- Download Word Documents form the Internet and open them.<br>
<br>
- Open Word documents sent to you via email, even if they look<br>
like they came from someone you know - if you did not ask for<br>
it do not open it!<br>

Windows XP!<br>
