VIRUS PROTECTION TIPS by Slaven Radic, PocoMail CEO


Today, viruses have become a major problem for both users and

Internet service providers. Many of today's viruses do not have destructive payloads, which means they will not cause serious

damage, though there are definite exceptions.


The main damage done today by viruses is to the Internet

infrastructure - when certain virus infections reach their peak

they swamp servers with infected copies of the virus. This slows

down the affected servers, and in the case of email viruses

fills up email storage so that legitimate email is returned, and

in extreme cases can knock off corporate email systems off line

as they buckle under the increased email volume. All this can

cause world wide email delivery to often fail, resulting in

missing messages without "undeliverable mail" notices you would

normally get. These problems can also delay your email by

several days, to be delivered much later than you expected.

CREATING BIBLIOGRAPHIES WITH ASKSAM AND CITATION

By Phil Schnyder, askSam CEO


Citation is an amazing tool for recording and formatting

bibliographical information. But many askSam users prefer the flexibility of askSam for keeping their notes, research, and bibliographical information. That is why we created a new askSam/Citation Template that gives you the best of both worlds.


The askSam/Citation Template provides researchers and academic

writers with a system for entering, searching, and organizing

references and notes. Whether you gather information from books, articles, Web pages, legal sources, journals, or reports, the

askSam/Citation Template has entry forms for all these different

types of information. Each entry form allows you to enter

bibliographic information as well as notes.

SPECIAL $49.95 OFFER ON CITATION FOR ASKSAM CUSTOMERS ONLY

(Save $100 off the academic price)


If you already own askSam you can order Citation 8.2 for $49.95

for the next five days only.


If you are a researcher or academic writer, try using Citation

and askSam together. With askSam and Citation together you can

enjoy the flexibility of askSam for keeping your notes and

research, while having the power and ease of formatting your

bibliographical information automatically with Citation. Now you

can have the best of both worlds and save money too.
