musicmatch
jukebox
This
is the best software for "ripping" (copying) music off
of your music CD's, converting them into MP3 files (compacted audio
files), and putting them on your computer's hard drive. Then you
can listen to it via your computer, and you don't have to use up
the life of your CD-ROM drive. Make sure you "rip" them
at a bitrate of 128 or higher to get CD quality sound.
my
yahoo! page
This
is cool to have as your homepage. A homepage is the first webpage
that comes up when you open your Internet Browser (which is the
program that you are using to view this page right now). You can
customize your My Yahoo page so that it has the news that you want,
your horoscope, your favorite sports team's scores, the comics that
you want, movie showtimes in your area, your favorite tv channels'
schedules, your favorite colors as the colors of the webpage, etc.
While
you're at it, you might as well sign up for Yahoo!
Mail so you can have an email address to use when you buy something
online so you won't get bombarded with junk email at your regular
email address.
newegg.com
This
is the place to buy parts for the computer that you are
building, rebuiding, upgrading, or whatever else you might be doing
to it. They are very quick in processing your order, use FedEx Express
to ship it, and their prices are killer. They also allow users to
post their reviews of the products so you can check out whether
or not a product is worth buying. This is where I buy most of my
parts.
paypal.com
This
is a very useful service. You can send money via email to anyone.
All they need is an email address. When you send that person money
via PayPal.com, all they have to do is sign up for a PayPal account,
and they can just withdraw the money directly into their bank account.
Very convenient to use when you are buying/selling something on
ebay.com. However,
you can use it for anything.
Note:
PayPal.com was recently acquired by ebay.com, which, as you might
know, is a multi-billion dollar online auction company. Very stable
and secure. So there are no worries using this service.
pricewatch.com
A
great site to use when looking for the best deals on computer related
items, however it is hard to beat newegg.com.
qixo.com
This
is the best site when it comes to looking for deals on flights and
hotels. It works just like hotwire.com,
however this site not only gives you the price with no obligation,
but it also gives all of the flight info, including the
airline, the flight number, and the exact times of the flights.
Sometimes this site will beat hotwire.com, and sometimes hotwire.com
will have the better deal. It is best to try both. Good luck!
radiostorm.com
Radiostorm.com
has some killer Internet radio stations. They sound a lot better
if you have a broadband connection (cable/dsl/T1), but it is still
pretty sweet on 56k (dial-up).
script-o-rama.com
You
can download the script/screenplay for pretty much any movie from
this website.
shoutcast.com
Shoutcast.com
has an extensive list of Internet radio stations that you can choose
from. Just select the genre you are looking for, and it will list
them in order of popularity.
spamarrest.com
If
you want to stop spam cold, then this is definitely the service
to get! The way it works is when someone sends you an email for
the first time after you sign up for the service, they will be sent
an email with a link to a page asking them for verification. All
they have to do is type in a code. Then, after that, their email
will go straight to your inbox.
The
spammers software is not setup to verify email that is sent out.
So their email will never reach your inbox. And you can still go
in and check the email that was not verified in case you think some
legitimate email is in there. But I can almost guarantee there won't
be, unless someone did not take the time to verify their email.

symantec's
list of internet hoaxes
Symantec
is the company that makes the Norton Anti-Virus software, among
other things, and this is their list of Internet Hoaxes. So, if
you get an email saying that you may have gotten a virus, or you
can earn loads of cash by "forwarding this letter", then
go here to find out the real deal.
