E-mail Tips


The most important points about e-mail is that it is another great communication tool that is far more versatile than a phone or fax.
This does not mean that you stop making personal phone calls, sending faxes, or writing letters to correspond, it just means you have an alternative mode of communication that has applications.

This does take a bit of a comfort shift for your normal daily habits, as it hasn’t been used by the great masses yet on a regular basis. Here are some great tips about e-mail:

* E-mail is an immediate medium. When you are communicating digitally there is an urgency to respond, since the Internet is impervious to time zones, business hours, or being put on “hold”.

* Check your e-mail frequently, depending on the amount of e-mail you send and receive. A good rule of thumb is to check at least in the morning and the evening. For those of us who are heavy e-mail users, checking several times a day might be more appropriate.

* E-mail can be directed to your pager if you are so inclined. Check out the local services available to you.

* E-mail offers attachments capabilities, which allow you to send graphical information as well as reports to increase the efficiency of the communication.

Potential buyers will be sending you e-mail from various home sites or your company site. They are going to expect an “immediate” response. You can’t respond several weeks later, as they may have found another savvy agent who handled the lead immediately.

Home Based Computers Outperformed by Laptops


Companies have successfully shown that it is completely feasible to have hard drives of 1.2 Terabytes in the very near future. It is not a very well kept secret that the news of laptops coming with 1.2 TB hard drives is being reported in many magazines and online zines. This is big news for those people who find that they want more memory and speed from their laptop computers. This will allow them to run many higher end programs and memory-heavy applications in a much better way.

The laptops coming with 1.2 TB hard drives will have many more features and power-saving applications than the laptop computers that people are used to using. While many people use their home computer systems exclusively for their work and entertainment, there are many more that use laptop computers at both work and at home, completely replacing their home personal computer as their main system.

The new laptops coming with 1.2 TB hard drives will have many more applications for computer users who like to use their systems for entertainment. The ability of laptops to play and store movie files easily on the hard drives is going to be even more popular with the laptops coming with 1.2 TB hard drives. For individual computer users this will mean that the amount of memory and processing power will be much better and faster than what they have in their laptops now.

The goal of these companies is to produce a hard drive system that can be implemented in the same space as the existing hard drives but offer much higher levels of processing speed and storage capacity. The laptops coming with 1.2 TB hard drives will make it much easier for laptop users to run the same sort of memory-hungry applications as computers at home and at the office. Being able to work on large computer applications at home on the laptop computer is a big bonus for many people who do not want to be chained to one area in their homes. The ability of the laptop computer to allow them to work anywhere is a very popular aspect to their use.

Being able to use these higher-powered laptops in situations where they once simply did not cope well with applications is one of the major selling points for businesses looking to upgrade their laptops. The ability of their employees to be able to have access to the same sort of allocations while on the road or away from the office is a very attractive aspect of this new announcement. Being able to have higher capacity hard drives in the same space and weight as the older laptops will improve many aspects of business program applications.

Laptops have come down a lot in price over the past few years and more people have started using them, both in the office and on the road. The largest change to the demographic of the laptop, however, is that more people have started using their laptop computer as a replacement for their home computer. When once, laptops were only used for portability, they now have become so powerful that they can do everything that home computers can and more.

The laptops of today have much larger screens than they once did, which was always something that laptop users complained about in relation to the larger screens on their home computers. With larger screens, faster processors and now the prediction of much larger hard drives on the horizon, it will not be long before laptop computers push many home based computer systems off the desk at home.
