November 2010 NewsletterWell, autumn is well and truly here and only about 7 weeks left of 2010, where has this year gone?? I hope you are fit and well, and here is a roundup of this month’s news.
Dell PC System for sale.
The details are: Windows XP (Service Pack 2) Intel Celeron Processor (2.4Ghz) 1 Gb RAM 37Gb Hard drive (26Gb free space) Microsoft Office 2000 17” Flat screen monitor Keyboard & Mouse Price including basic set up £130.00 There is only one, so it’s first come first served. Dragon Voice Recognition Software
I have been using this amazing software called Dragon Naturally Speaking, which allows you to dictate your words and commands through a microphone or webcam, directly into your computer or laptop, and it simply types your words straight into a Word document or email. It is really accurate, once you have set it up to recognise your voice and accent, and has to be seen to be believed. As well as dictation, it will obey your commands such as Open Email, Open Internet etc. It is available though Amazon for less than £60.00 and is ideal for those who have trouble using a normal keyboard and mouse. Highly recommended. Winter Tune Up & Service
It’s probably time for its winter service and clean up. It could be a number of things slowing it down, too numerous to go through here, but I offer a fixed price tune up and service to my customers. This takes about an hour and I do a full service as well as checking your computer’s security is working properly. It also includes a full back up of all your valuable date, documents, pictures emails etc, just in cased disaster where to strike. Just call or email me to arrange a visit from Dr Henry, to restore your computer to its former glory. Michele Moss (Mobile Personal Assistant)
Web Albums
The answer is to create a free Web Album, which allows you to upload as many pictures as you wish, to your own personal web album. You then send your friends or family members an email which doesn’t contains loads of attachments, instead a simple link to your web album, which they click on and voila, your pictures are all there, and able to be downloaded and printed. Brilliant and free. If you would like a lesson on how to do this, let me know and I’d be happy to come and show you how simple it is. And finally…….3D Stereogram time again. This time I’m actually going to tell you what it is. If you stare at the picture for longer enough, your eyes will re-focus and you will see the three dancing girls hidden in the picture. It’s just too clever.
That’s it for this month. I hope this has been interesting for you, and remember that me and Michele are here for you if you need any further help. Speak soon |
I
sometimes get PCs to sell, and I have a really good one, that needs a new loving
home. It has been completely refurbished and runs really well. It would be ideal
as a starter computer, or as a second computer for home.
I have
recently been helping a couple of customers who have difficulty in using the
keyboard and mouse, due to arthritis in their hands.
Is your
computer running too slowly or just not performing as well as it used to?
My
lovely wife Michele, (who is much cleverer than me) works for a number of
clients in various capacities. She comes from a financial background at Marks
& Spencer, and does many people’s bookkeeping, financial organisation and
VAT returns. But she also acts for many people as their personal assistant, for
example, she has professional clients such as barristers and magistrates, who
have people to help their business life, but Michele organises their home life,
such as arranging workmen, writing letters, and generally turning chaos into
order. So if you, or someone you know, could benefit for having some help in
organising their life, call or email me and Michele will arrange to visit to
discuss your requirements. Plus she makes a great chicken soup!
Have
you ever been away on holiday or been to a family function and taken loads of
photos, which you want to share with your family and friends? Well you certainly
DON’T want to send an email with 50 or more attachments.
