Got something "computer related" to sell? Looking for that rare peripheral? If it's computer related you can submit a short classified ad for exposure in Dave "Bytes". Be sure to include your name and e-mail address in the ad. You can also include a picture of the item. Now some would suggest that there be a charge for this feature but alas, since my bookkeeping skills leave much to be desired I've determined that this will be a free service to all SPCUG members in good standing. "Bytes" is currently sent to almost 1500 homes in the area. Ad requests will be included as soon as possible. I assume absolutely no responsibility as to the accuracy or completeness of supplied info. All transactions are between consulting adults which leaves me entirely off the hook. Please let me know by clicking HERE when your merchandise is sold so that I can remove it from the listing. I will try to run each ad for a month.

Bounce Spam Mail
Recommended by Steve Bass

Fool those spam mailers: Send a fake bounce message back to them, making their targeted mailing list manager think your address was invalid. The program works in a lot of cases when you can't get to the real sender of the message.

Note: Although this program still works, it is no longer supported by the vendor.

Here's A Special Offer From Interlink Networks

LucidLink Wireless Security is targeted at addressing one of the biggest computer security threats in the business: Unsecured WiFi networks. Several weeks ago, the NY Times wrote an article on the growth of cybercrimes being committed over unsecured wireless networks. Hackers can easily get on these networks, launch spam and viruses, read your e-mail, and even access your computer. They can do this from over a mile away and do it in a fashion that makes it impossible to trace back to them.

LucidLink eliminates this threat by making it very easy to secure a wireless network. The LucidLink 3-user Home Office Edition is now be available for free on their web site at www.lucidlink.com.

How to Rename a Series of Files

If you have a series of files you want to rename, but want to keep the sequence intact, here's how:

Using Windows Explorer, locate the files. Be sure you're in "Details" mode.

Go to the last file in the sequence and select it.

Hold down the Shift button and select the first file in the sequence.
All the files should now be highlighted.

Go to File/ Rename. You should now be able to rename the first file. Be sure to keep the file extension. All the files should now be renamed in sequence with the new appellation.
