Welcome to the Surf Report.
Trick or Treat? If you're reading this edition of the Surf Report
we promise a treat.
Read on for a great web site for all things time and date - world
clock, countdowns, calendar generators and much more.
Nothing is more scary than SPAM so we've put the 2003 CAN-SPAM ACT
in a free searchable askSam eBook - downloadable or searchable
online. And find out how to use askSam as your daily journal.
Plus, Driver Genius and a free replacement for your Windows
calculator.
Since it's Halloween we also have a little treat for the kids -
how to carve an ePumpkin online.
Enjoy,
Wade

1) Time and Date Info Online
You have to give this site a try. The most useful feature on the
site, especially for those who travel, is The World Clock. You can
qucikly see times all over the world and even sort them by city,
country or time zone. You can even setup your personal World
Clock with the cities you track most often.
But there is much more. This site also has...
- A Time Zone Converter - time zone conversions between two cities
- Meeting Planner - find convenient times across time zones
- Countdowns - Countdown to the new year or a selected date
- Calendar - Customizable calendars online
- Calculate the days, months and years between two dates
- Birthday Calculator
- and more...

2) New eBook - The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003
The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited
Pornography and Marketing Act) establishes requirements for those
who send commercial email, spells out penalties for spammers and
companies whose products are advertised in spam if they violate
the law, and gives consumers the right to ask emailers to stop
spamming them. We have the full text of the act in a searchable
database. You can download it to your PC or search online.

would find useful in a searchable eBook? Tell us about it.
askSam eBooks are different than normal eBooks. askSam eBooks can
be any collection of information - books, research information,
manuals, legal documents, databases, laws and acts, and more. We
can even create eBooks from RSS feeds that automatically update
daily.

4) Driver Genius - Easily Update All Your Computer Drivers
Most of us seldom think about device drivers. But drivers tell
all of our important devices - like printers, scanners, modems,
monitors, etc. - how to work.
Old drivers may not work properly in new operating systems, can
slow your system, and cause hardware and software not to work properly.
Keeping device drivers up to date is a tedious process.
I used Driver Genius and updated my drivers in a matter of
minutes. Most drivers were updated automatically and the ones
that were not could easily be downloaded and installed manually.
Also, Driver Genius corrected a long time driver problem with my
home HP Printer. I have not been able to print to my home printer
with my new laptop, even though I downloaded the most updated drivers from HP. Driver Genius pointed me to the right driver and now I can print.

5) Cool Uses for askSam - Daily Journal
So much happens in a day. Where does all the time go? What did I
accomplish today? Wouldn't it be great to track that information
electronically.
askSam is a great tool for journaling or keeping a diary. Use
askSam to log important information from your day -
accomplishements, events, activities, thoughts, important dates,
and more. You can even attach voice recordings or pictures to
your journal entry.
To get you started askSam offers the "Daily Journal" template. To
use this template simply choose FILE -> NEW and select it from the
list of available templates. If you do not have the template you
can download it from:

6) FREE PRODUCT OFFER FreeCalc
Moffsoft FreeCalc is a great replacement for your existing Windows
calculator. They took the standard Windows calculator
functionality and added a printable/savable transaction tape,
sizable display, tray icon, digit groupings, color schemes,
double- and triple-zero keys, visible memory value, and an always-
on-top setting.
