If all of your Excel spreadsheets need to contain a certain header and must print in a specific view, then you'll relish this time-saving trick. You can create a custom Excel template that will allow you to automatically set the header and printer settings.

Virus hoaxes and chain letters are e-mail messages written with one purpose; to be sent to everyone you know. The message they contain are usually untrue. A few of the sympathy messages may describe a real situation that had been resolved years ago, thus the message is no longer valid and may not have been valid for many years. Hoax messages try to get you to pass them on to everyone you know using several different methods called Social Engineering.

Or, how could you not help this poor little girl who is about to die from cancer? It is hard to say no when you first read the hoax emails until several thousand have passed through your mail box, Hopefully you will delete them without even looking, or add them to your Junk Sender list.
