Miscellaneous Stuff You Need to Know
-
The word "Internet" is
capitalized. Why? I don't know.
-
Be wary of your laptop
power supply. Mine went bad but I didn't know it. The laptop just
wouldn't work, so I plugged the same power supply into my back up
laptop and it burned it up too. If you travel alot you might want to
consider a company or insurance policy that guarantees overnight
replacement. You also better have back up CDs of all files you
absolutely need while on the road.
-
I hate UPS
-
When converting a
Microsoft Word file to Adobe PDF there could be a very slight shift
of text either up or down. This could cause text to jump to the next
page unexpectedly. With a little experience and practice you'll
learn to adjust for this potential in your Word file which will save
you lots of hassle when doing the conversions.
-
While I'm on the topic of
Adobe, you need to learn how to set the conversion functions that
you want like, password/no password, print/no print, copy and
paste/no copy and paste, hotlinks/no hotlinks, etc.
-
Windows XP will be a pain
to install and make all your programs run, but you will most likely
love it once it gets up and running. I run my computer really hard
with sometimes 18 browser windows open and 4 or 5 programs and XP
hardly ever crashes, unlike Windows 98 which required me to reboot
several times a day.
-
I hate UPS
-
When conducting telephone
seminars ALWAYS email a set of guidelines to the attendees prior to
the seminar. I don't allow questions during the main part of the
seminar because I don't want to ruin my tape of the event. I stay on
the line after the main taping is done to answer questions. You want
to make this clear to participants BEFORE they come armed with 50
questions they expect you to answer right away.
-
Did I mention that I hate
UPS?
