Be careful leaving the
power on full time on some laser printers. I used my $2000.00 color
laser printer only a little the last year, but left the power on

with your manufacturer if you plan on leaving equipment on full
time.

files for your website is not that hard. I just figured it out. If
you want to learn check out Mike Stewart at

I'm going to suggest that
everyone out there reading this get some training. I don't care what
level you are at - get some training. This applies especially if you
are a relative beginner with computers or if you've only been doing
a limited number of things with your computer for many years. There
are so many shortcuts and things to learn that will skyrocket your
productivity. It's no wonder many of you are having trouble with
Internet marketing when you don't even know the basics of getting
around your computer. Hey, I was right where you are and getting
training helped put me where I am today.
