SPAM - Filter

Anti Spam Filter - Freeware

This anti spam filter is freeware from

http://www.spamihilator.com

Before you start to download and install this, make a note of your email incoming mail server account details as these are changed during installation. Should you want to uninstall Spamihilator it should reset these details, but it is safer to make a note just in case.

For Outlook Express click on Tools, Accounts and highlight the account by clicking on it. Select Properties, Servers and note the Incoming Mail Server (SMTP) details and POP3 account.

Download the software. The latest version is 0.9.9.27.

Spamihilator works between your E-Mail client and the Internet and examines every incoming E-Mail. All your mail is downloaded first so it is not a method to filter out large files for those on a Dial-up connection .
Useless spam mails (Junk) will be filtered out. This process runs completely in the background.

The Setup Wizard
Use the setup wizard to configure your mail client. The wizard will be launched after the installation of Spamihilator.
Full HELP documentation will download with the program installation.

Memory Stick

Posted from an EMail circulated by EU Cartridges who supply computer items and consumables to group members

We often get asked what a memory stick is and what you can do with it. The info on our website was a bit outdated but we've just changed that.

A memory stick is an extremely useful item and very cheap!


USB Flash Drive? What is that?

A USB memory stick (also known as USB thumb drive, flash drive, pen drive or jump drive) is a portable memory storage. It is re-writeable and holds its memory without a power supply. Thumb drives will fit into any USB port on any computer.
It's a very convenient little tool and ideal for:
- transferring files of any format from laptop, desktop or network computers
- able to store - and transfer from one computer to the other - videos, pictures, MP3 music, text documents, schoolwork, .....- convenient for taking files between family or friends, library, classroom, home, work, .....
- much easier to carry around than lots of floppy disks or a CD- easy to understand, simply plug it into a USB port- able to provide fast transfer of information (much faster than floppy disks or CD's)- an alternative to accessing files via a network- able to cope with much larger file sizes than floppy disks- a convenient storage place for presentations- allows easy transfer between different computing platforms (e.g. Windows, Mac, Linux)
Memory sticks drives are available in storage sizes of up to 8 gigabytes. Most people, however, will find that sizes of 1 GB to 2 GB will do nicely. If you want to store mostly text, with few images, then an even smaller thumb drive may meet the need.
Memory sticks are stable, versatile, durable and portable data storage devices. As such they are ideal for almost any computer user who wants safe, long-term storage for a low price!
Thanks!

Saving Photos attached to an EMail

Photos that have come as attachments to an Email are only stored in the Temporary Internet Folder .. so if the Email is deleted then the photos are as well.

These photos are sometime too large to view on the screen within an Email and also you might like to store them for printing or viewing later

Open Outlook Express

Double Click on the Email with the photos in order to fully view and see the Attachment Line


Right Click ANYWHERE in the Attachment line and Select SAVE ALL.

Check the SAVE TO box .. Use the Browse Button to Select My Documents/ My Pictures and the Folder where you want the photos stored.

Click on SAVE

If they have been successfully saved in any folder in My Pictures.. the next time you open Picasa the photos will be indexed.
You can now view the photos normal size… edit… use Photobox to order prints, insert in a Photobook etc etc
