internet explorer vs firefox vs the new google chrome

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5433454/google_chrome_vs_internet_explorer.html?cat=15

In reset studies it has been found that internet explorer (IE) has become the slowest browser out there.  The  above link takes you to an article that goes over the browser usage and speed.

I have used firefox for years, I have just recently started using Google chrome and I really like the speed!! 

I recommend trying a new browser!!!! When you do it will import all of your bookmarks from IE for you. 

tips for forwarding an email

Hello Everyone,
I have a few tips for you on how to forward an email without all the extra forward junk. 

 When you hit the forward button on your email it will open a new email for you and allow you to edit the forwarding message.  At this point you should high light the extra email trail and any other info you do not want to pass to clients.  Once you have selected content to remove simple hit the delete button.

**You can edit in content in the body of an email before you send it**

**It is very important to delete the old email trail from the new forwarded message**

Another tip for sending or forwarding emails to mulitiple clients is to add the contact info to the BCC (blind copy) box instead of the TO or COPY box.  I will talk more about this in the next blog.

Tip for searching the internet

I have found these tips to be useful when trying to search the internet. 

1. Place a plus sign (+) prior to each word to view each word separately within your search results, such as: "+writer+grammar+punctuation".
2. Place a minus sign (-) prior to each word to omit a word, such as: "recipe-meat" for a vegetarian meal.
3. Use quotation marks ("), to view consecutive words of a phrase, such as: "flower arrangement."
4. Use hyphens to replace quotation marks, such as: To-be-or-not-to-be.
5. Use plus signs with the quotation of a phrase, such as: +baking+"chocolate cake."
6. Connect words and phrases with hyphens and quotation marks to pinpoint the search, such as: "baking German-chocolate-cake."
7. Use and within a phrase. “James Taylor and singer” will result with a list of singers with the name of James Taylor.
8. Use not to eliminate part of a search. “James Taylor not singer” will result with a list of people that are '‘not’' singers, but have the name of James Taylor.
9. Use or. “James Taylor or Frank Sinatra” will result with a list of ‘'either or both’' of these phrases.
10. Connect to search similar items, such as: "blue-bird or black-bird or blackbird."
