================================================================
Tuesday, May 8, 2007
Summer is almost here. Well, ok, so maybe it's still a couple
months away, but that's no reason to put off thinking about
vacation.
In this edition of the Surf Report we have a great new eBook
containing information on more than 400 National Parks - perfect
for travel. Plus a link to a website with even more information.
Also, if you feel like taking a trip but don't have time, explore
the world from your PC with - Google Earth. The updated version
is worth a look.
And, we realize you do have to work if you expect a vacation -
we found a great free product to help you check what's running
on your computer -- sort of a task manager on steroids.
Plus, an askSam custom solution, training dates, and special
offers on great products that enhance askSam.
Enjoy,
Wade

1) The National Park Service Online
The U.S. National Park Service cares for and protects national
parks. People from all around the world visit national parks.
There are nearly 400 natural, cultural and recreational sites
across the nation.
The National Park Service (NPS) webiste contains articles, facts,
photos, contact information, and more. The directory can be
browsed by location, category, or alphabetical and is completely
searchable.
Plan your summer vacation or just read some great facts about U.S.
National Parks, Memorials, Historical Sites and more. Either way,
you'll learn a lot on this site.
http://www.nps.gov
Don't forget - askSam is a great place to store your travel
research. Save web pages, copy and paste articles and
pictures, even add your own notes. We've created an askSam
National Parks eBook to get you started.

2) Free askSam eBook: National Parks Service - Parks Index
We realize that you may not always have internet access. So we've
provided you a way to search the basic information from the
National Parks Service website in askSam.
This eBook provides name, location, contact information and a
short description for over 400 National Parks, monuments,
historical sites, and more.
Download this great resource or view online.

3) Google Earth 4 (FREE)
Sometimes you just can't get away for vacation. Try Google Earth
which combines the Google Search with satellite imagery, maps,
terrain and 3D buildings to allow you to travel the world without
leaving your desk. Just type an address and fly to your house.
Enter a city, location, or landmark and zoom right in. Find
schools, parks, restaurants, and hotels. Get driving directions.
Tilt and rotate the view to see 3D terrain and buildings. Save and
share your searches and favorites.
Google Earth was updated in January 2007 with a much simpler user
interface (among other features).

4) askSam Custom Solution - Processing Chemical Formulas!
askSam is not just a desktop software application, it's also a
powerful development environment that lets you (or us) develop
custom applications.
We've recently developed an application for a company to import,
store, organize, search, and publish online over 10,000 chemical
formulas for custom medications that were originally collected andstored in Word, PDF and Excel over a number of years. An askSam
custom solution made it easy to combine all these different
formats, parse and validate the information, and add fields.
askSam was even able to locate discontinued or replaced products
by comparing the formulas to a list. Plus askSam added in the
ability to hook into other databases (ie SQL), security, and, of
course, askSam's powerful search features.
If you are interested in learning more about how askSam can
develop or customize your applications contact Jim Hartman -
jwhartman@asksam.com; 800-800-1997 (850-584-6590 x106).

5) Process Explorer (Free)
Process Explorer is Windows Task Manager on steroids. Task Manager
will show you which applications and processes are running, but
some process names aren't very clear. Process Explorer helps you
get to the bottom of things by digging down to see which
application started a process and which resources it's currently
using. This is a great help when trying to figure out which
background processes to shut down. It can even help locate
spyware, too.
