You can advertise any service or products that you have and not brake the bank. There are thousands of ways to advertise your service or products. The one thing I found out, their are still hundreds of mom and pops newspaper and newsletters out their won't cost you a arm or a leg. Just constant advertising as low as a $1.00 or $6.00 Inch . From thousands of issue, to 125,000 a issue. The main goal is set yourself at a level that you can afford, each month, each week or what every you feel comfortable with.
What Are Some of the Cheap Ways To Advertise?
(A) Use your computer and make a template with MS word or Wordperfect . Now if you do not have any of these programs. Don't worry. Go to http://www.openofficenewus.com/ . Openoffice is a wordprocessing software you should have if you don't. Openoffice have a New Verision out. About $13.00 a year for support. Openoffice great tool have. This software your can produce flyers for your Service or Products. take the hard copy to printer that will give you the most for your money. If you go to a large printing company, it will cost you more than going to a mom and pop shop to print large amounts of your flyer. I suggest keep the flyer in black and white format. Color will be very expenses to do the same large amount of printing. Start off printing 1000 to 5000 flyer. Do what you can afford.
(B) Low cost advertising on the internet is another way of putting the word out about you service or product. Don't be like most that think once they place an ad that thousands of people will be coming to your door. This is the wrong way to view this type of advertising. You may need to place ads in every month or once every two or three months just to let people know that you are out their. It is a constant work effort on your part. Still remember the idea is to advertise with some guts, but at a affordable cost to you. Advertise one or three ads in different places just to see what the response rate. Place one ad in the paper and another on the internet. Learn how to code each ad you place. To see how much response you receiving from your ads. You must use a code system. If your ad is not responing well. You can pull the ad and change it around and insert it again.
Examples: I placed my classified with the following companies on May 6 2010. The Natioal Advertiser (Newspaper) Uni-Rainbow-Ent (Internet Service) Here is the ad I ran:
Send me 500 Words. I will design and host your website. Two FREE months with each other. $49.95 + 10 F/C stamps To: N.R. Kingsbur, Dept. TNA5610, 4816 Emo Street, Capitol Heights, MD 20743
This is how I design my ad campign using the code to let me know how my responses are coming in. OK, look at the Dept section. TNA is the code for the company that I'm advertising with . TNA= The National Advertiser. 5= The month I placed the ad. 6= The day, 10= the year. Now this is the system I use design for myself. You can design the system that best for you. The main goal is to know where,when who and what is working when you place your ad. I will place a ad insert in for about three months. This amount of time gives me good feedback. By detemining what ads are receiving the most responses during that period. Those ads that do not fit my standards are pull and redesign and place back again. Now remember this system is to my standards in placing ads. We want ads that work. We want to place ads in that are affordable. And ads that will give us a good response rate during the period it is running. Below is a list of companies that you can write to and receive more information on their rates and a copy of their paper or newsletter you may place a ad in.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton stated "The pen is mightier than the
sword." These days, not may people use the pen to write with.
More often they use typewriters or, even more frequently, computers and word processors. But make no mistake, the written
word is still very powerful, and if you own a word processor
you are sitting on top of one of the most powerful money-making
machines ever created.
Most people use their computer to do simple tasks, such as their
taxes. Or they buy a word processor so their children can write
term papers and get better grades in school. Very few people
realize that their computers can make them money as well as
fulfilling all of these other functions. If your computer is
taking up desk space but not bringing you any extra income, it's
time for you to put that machine to work for you.
Of course, the logical question is "How can my computer make
money for me?" Computers are extremely versatile and can be
programmed to do almost anything. Many different computer
functions can be incorporated into a home-based business, but
one of the easiest to master is the word processor. There are
dozens of word processing programs on the market, and you should
be able to master one in about five or six hours of practice.
And,if you don't have a computer, don't worry. You can still
cash in on this great business idea. many computer companies
make word processing machines which are like super typewriters,
combining the functions of both typewriters and computers.
Once you are familiar with your word processor, look out! You
will be ready to take on the world with your home-based, word-
processing business.
WORD PROCESSING RICHES
Using your word processor to make money is easy. In fact, it's
easy as finding someone who needs a document created and selling
your service to them. Once you've read through the following
suggestions, you will have lots of great ideas on how to use
your computer to make money.
NEWSLETTER WRITING
A successful company needs to keep their employees up to date on
company activities (such as corporate buy outs, company
recreational events, and policy changes) and trade news (such as
new legislation affecting customers, competition news and
manufacturer updates). The easiest and least expensive way to
do all of this is through an employee newsletter.
The problem with this is most companies especially smaller
ones, do not have the capital to hire a full-time writer. Many
companies attempt to designate someone within the organization
to write their newsletter, but this person is not a writer, in
fact the one in charge of the newsletter is usually the secretary.
Using nothing more than a typewriter, she tries to produce a nice-
looking newsletter in a few minutes she has to spare between
projects. Needless to say, the result is usually less than
spectacular.
That's where you and your word processor come in. Using your
computer, you can easily put together a newsletter that looks
very professional--with columns, bold headlines, graphs and even
pictures. Bring a sample newsletter into a business and have the
manager compare it to his current newsletter (if he has one at
all). Then tell him that by subscribing to your newsletter service,
productivity and profit will rise for two reasons. First, because
he will not be paying someone from inside the company to write the
newsletter. Second, his employees will work more efficiently because
they will be better informed.
Before you know it, you will have 10 to 15 companies paying you to
write their newsletter, and will probably be just about all you can
handle. Since each one will be paying you about $300 a month for
the service, you will need to make the decision whether to continue
to expand your service and hire more help, or simply relax and let
the money keep rolling in.
MAIL ORDER REPORTS
Fads and trends come and go, but one thing that will always sell
is information. With your word processor, you have one of the best
mediums for presenting information, and you can make a bundle doing
just that.
Just walk through your local book store or library and notice how
many self-help, diet and how-to books there are. This should give
you a feel how hungry consumers are for this type of information.
Once you've read through a few of these types of books, you should
know enough about the subject to write a brief five to ten page
report. With the computer, you can make the report look very
professional through the use of page numbers, double columns,
pull quotes in the middle of the pages, and a bold catch title.
When the paper is complete, it's time for you to begin the
marketing procedure. Take out an ad in the classified section
of your local newspaper. Word the advertisement so that customers
will be enticed to send you a check to learn more about the
subject. Here are a few examples.
Tired of reading through useless diet books? TRY THE SECRETS OF
CONTROLLING YOUR WEIGHT. Just send $3 to...
Plumbers charge over $100 dollars to make a house call. BE YOUR
OWN PLUMBER, a new informed book, costs only $5. To order, send to...
Since printing costs will be minimal (between 25 cents and $1
per report) most of the money you collect will go directly to
profit. And, since these reports are easy to produce, you can
use some of that income to write and print a new report and
sell it the same way. See how easy it is to make the whole
thing snowball?
Here are some more subjects you can easily write brief reports
and sell through the mail:
* How To Grow A Garden
* Selected Mexican Recipes
* Stop Smoking
* How To Paint Your House
* Mail-Order Marketing
* Making Your Own Patio Furniture
* Camping Made Easy
* Easy Baking Techniques
If some of this appeal to you, think of something else.
Just remember, the idea must appeal to a wide arrange of
customers or you will not sell enough products to defray
your production costs.
TYPING SERVICE
When you begin to use your computer, you will quickly see the
advantages you have over a standard typewriter. You can easily
check your spelling and grammar, set your margins and type face
as you wish, and make universal changes throughout the document
without retyping the entire thing.
Because of these extensive features, your computer saves you time
and effort when typing documents, and you can pass those savings
on to your customers. With your computer, you can easily input a
document, proofread it, give a draft copy to the customer for
approval, make changes, then print a final version--all in less
time than it would take a standard typist to type a single copy.
This is one of the easiest businesses to run once you master your
word processor because all you need to know is how to type, no
other talents are required. If you have a modern (telephone hookup)
for your computer, you can even send documents across the country
or around the world just as easily as you can deliver them across
the street.
Your main concern in this business is finding customers who need
typing done. Here are some customer suggestions and tips on how
to get in touch with them:
Writers: There are literally thousands of people in this country
who enjoy writing either for a hobby or as a source of extra
income. By running an ad in one of the many writers magazines
(such as Writers Digest or The Writer) you will get responses
from writers all across the country who want their manuscripts
typed.
Professionals: Small businesses often cannot afford the luxury
of a secretary. Larger businesses sometimes have large projects
to type but do not wish to hire someone extra. In either case
an outside typist can be a valuable service.
Students: Many high school and college students don't have the
time to type their own papers even if they do have the ability
to. Especially during mid-terms or finals, a typing service can
really make money at a school. Post flyers in every classroom
and every bulletin board you can find.
The only requirement you need to stick to in this business is
accuracy. No matter who you are typing for, they will stand for
less than 100 percent perfect documents. Always check, double
check, then triple check your work before you send it to your
clients.
COMPUTING THE POSSIBILITIES
As you can see, with a computer or word processor, you can open
up a whole new world of business opportunities. If you are one
of the few business people who are still operating without one,
you really should look into making that big purchase. While the
initial capital outlay may seem high, a little ingenuity is all
it takes to make the computer pay for itself.

Knowing What You’re Working With Helps Technicians
Getting help with your computer software can be easier when you know the correct terms to use. One of the biggest problems that new computer users have with technical support is not knowing how to correctly describe the problem that they’re having. And it isn’t fair to expect a tech support person to automatically know what a “thing-a-ma-jingy,” or “whatcha-ma-call-it” is.
The following describes the correct names for common components of software so that when you experience a problem, you can effectively describe an issue that you’re having and a technician can readily resolve it.
User interface – this is the visual design of a program. It may contain squares, boxes, words, icons, and buttons. If you’re experiencing insufficient memory for example, you might see black rectangles across the user interface of your software programs.
Title bar – this is the top-most part of a program that displays its own name or it may describe the contents displayed in another part of the interface. If a program is incorrectly coded, you may see a wrong description in this part of its interface.
Menu bar - this part of a program displays menu items and menu options. Some of the most common parts of a menu bar grants access to File commands, Open commands, Save commands, and Print commands. An example of an error in this part of an interface would be if an option was missing or grayed out (lighter in color).
Tool bar – this part of a program displays small icons across the top which represent tools. Clicking an icon will open a tool or process a command that might also exist on a program’s menu bar. Problems in this part of an interface are uncommon, however if you find yourself repeatedly clicking an icon with no results, you can correctly describe the problem by referring to the toolbar.
Minimize, Restore, and Exit buttons – these three buttons are usually located on the right-most upper part of a program’s interface and each allow you to minimize a program’s screen, restore it to its original size, or shut down the program completely.
Scroll bar – this convenient tool allows users to move data up and down the computer screen.
Status bar – this part of a program is located at the bottom-most part of its interface, and it usually displays small messages that indicate the progress of a command or task. If programmed incorrectly, an application might display the wrong information in this area.
Context menu – like the menu bar, a context menu displays when a user right-clicks on something. It displays commands just like what you see on a File menu or a Help menu.
Input box – input boxes are usually small rectangles that allow you to type data into a simple interfaces like a webpage or browser window. If you find that you can’t type information into one of these, you can effectively resolve the issue with a technician by calling it an input box, rather than a “white rectangle,” or “place to put in text.”
Button – buttons perform a command after a user clicks them with a mouse. Problems occur when the text of a button is grayed out or if it doesn’t appear to sink into the screen when clicked.
Check box – a check box is a small box that allows a user to indicate several choices among many. When clicked, a small “x” displays inside a box. Similar to the check box, a radio button allows a user to indicate a single choice among many. Problems with radio buttons and check boxes occur when a user makes one choice, but the interface reacts as if the user made many choices (or none at all). When describing a problem to a technician, be sure to indicate whether the problem occurs with a check box or a radio box. Computer novices mistakenly interchange the names of both of these controls.
Making Your Computer Work with You - Not Against You
Although you did not design or build your computer, you can turn it into a device that responds to your way of using it as if you were its original engineer or programmer. This is because the computer is a mere platform - a blank canvas, if you will - waiting for you to direct its operation or paint the picture of the perfect machine. All this is possible from making just a few changes in your computer's current configuration.
Your computer's main configurations are housed in Windows Control Panel. Within this small section of Windows, you can make some major changes from the way that your computer looks to the way that your computer responds to the people who use it. But your specifications don't just apply to Windows, they also apply to the many software programs that are installed onto the computer (not to mention that many software programs can be further customized through their own configurations). We aren't going to cover them all, but we will introduce some of the most popular so that you can get a feel of the control over your system that these configurations give you.
Users. Before we get into the individual settings, it's important that you understand that each set of configurations you make is specific to the users that sit down in front of a computer. Changes made to a system by one person will differ from the changes made by another. Enabled by a username and password, individual desktop settings (icons, background picture, and other settings) are available after logging onto Windows.
Display Properties. Through Display Properties, a user can change the background of the Windows Desktop, add a screensaver, change the overall color scheme and fonts of Windows, and adjust a computer's color depth and/or resolution (screen area). Not just a bunch of preference settings, display properties help individuals who have to deal with visual problems.
Accessibility Options. Speaking of visual problems, another setting that's useful is accessibility options. This setting allows people with disabilities to use a computer that accommodates vision and hearing problems.
Keyboard and Mouse Options. The keyboard and mouse controls give users the option of speeding up or slowing down the movements of both of these peripherals. For those entering the United States from a foreign country, users will appreciate how Windows grants use of keyboard layouts native to their original language. Other uses will appreciate the different selection of cursors and the ability to add additional ones.
Passwords. Since the computer in use may be shared with others, Passwords gives the almighty administrator the means to determine whether all users will share the same preferences and desktop settings or if users can customize preferences and desktop settings.
Regional Settings. Things get really personal in Regional Settings - as this configuration makes changes according to a user's location and language. Options available can accommodate a person's preference for the display of numbers, currency, time, and date format.
Sounds Properties. Multimedia fans can create a rich PC environment filled with sound through this setting. Sounds can be assigned to numerous events and they don't even need to be the default sounds installed by Windows. Users can download sounds from the Internet or create their own sounds with a microphone.
Dialing Properties. Even the way a user connects to the Internet can be customized. Through Dialing Properties, users can determine how a phone and modem dials into an Internet service provider.
From just these basic configuration options, you can create your own experience with a computer each time you sit down in front of one. Customizing your PC is what makes using a computer truly unique and enjoyable, so have fun and build a situation at home or a work in which you'll love to work with everyday. Should you feel a little nervous about it at first, remember that your computer's original configuration can be saved to a back up file should you ever want to restore it to the same state that it was in when you first bought it.
It really makes me mad as a smallbusiness owner, that I take the hard money I have made and place it in a advertisingcampaign just to find out that the company that I place the ad with is a FAKE. The type of advertising I'm talking about is solo ads and opt- in ads to thousands of email address. You want people to know that your business is out their. To think that their are people out on the Internet that are placing FAKE sites out there just to grab your hard earn money is sicking. I made the mistake, Now I want to put the word out , so that you do not make the same mistake as I did. Before you do business with a company on the Internet, make sure you check the company out. Here is a web site you should BookMark and be regular at. SCAM WATCH This site is updated with a list of site that you should watch out for. This site has all the government agencies you need to contact if you have been scammed. I did not know this info then. But you know it Now. BE SAFE
Hello and Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday. Well I know everyone been shopping and all the pockets are dry out. No green or cards to spend anything else. So folks I been getting your email and I understand the money is gone or getting close to it. I have been ask to find some software that is cheap or FREE. The software that everyone wants is Spyware and Anti Virus software. Here are a few programs that I like .
(A) CT Cookie Spy { FREE}: a good program that I use a lot. it is able to collect all the cookies and Spyware on your computer and place in the program and shot out information. What,where, and when . The best part I like about this program is the information date. CT Cookie Spyware will tell you when the spyware was placed,who by and how long it will stay on your computer. the longest date I have seen is 98 years.
Instructions: Below will be links where you can download CT Cookie Spy. Once you download the program and click to upon it. The program will collect all the Spyware and place it in the program itself. You will see a list of the spyware next to a check off block. check off all the spyware that in off your computer, but watch out for some cookies like a paypal account or gmail etc... these cookies are useful. Once you have check off all the spyware and cookies that you want off your computer, click the delete button on the right. Once this is done, you have remove all the cookies and spyware off. I use CT Cookie Spy about twice or three times a week because I'm on my computer about 50 to 85 hours a week. so it depends on how long you are on the computer.
(B) Spyware Terminator { Free with some add on you pay for} This is a great program even if you have to buy the add ons. it updates itself, checks your computer on the spot to see if you have any viruses on it. checks any program that you are installing or opening on your computer. the program will allow or block any program that it thinks is harmful to your computer . You must decide yes or no.
Instruction: If you are going to download both the programs. Open CT Cookie Spyware first, then Spyware Teminator. Once you download the Spyware Terminator and open it. Make sure that you are on the Internet. This will let Spyware Terminator update itself for information on all new viruses that are out on the internet and then begin to scan your computer for all the known viruses .
BUYING A PERSONAL COMPUTER - General Information: Familiarize yourself with some of the computer language and terminology then shop at several different computer stores and test some of the hundreds of different models being offered. Most of the computers and programs are simple to operate and you can perform many valuable tasks as well as play games.
Keep in mind that the cost of the system you purchase will usually include only the basic "software" needed and you will probably have to purchase more later in order to do everything you want your computer to do for you. Most software is not cheap...
The basic system consists of the Central Processing Unit, a Keyboard, Screen (Monitor) and Printer. A "mouse" is used on some brands and a cassette recorder can also be used, mostly for games and short programs. A flexible disk (floppy disk) similar to a small phonograph record; or a hard disk, together with an instructional manual, contain the programs that tell the person... and the computer, what to do.
A component that changes electric signals into audio tones, called a "Modem" is used to link your unit with others over the telephone.
Across the country are located large computer systems which store a great amount of information on various subjects. You can hook the computer into one or more of these systems with a "Data-Base Management" program, and by paying a monthly user fee.
The smallest unit of information for the computer is the "Bit". 8 Bits make a "Byte". "Memory" takes two forms...RAM which means Random Access Memory, is a temporary memory picked up when you enter information into the keyboard or from a disk...ROM means Read Only Memory is measured in "K's" with 1,024 Bytes-1K.
The software program will display a "Menu" on the screen. You choose what you want the computer to do and press the proper keys specified in the menu in order to perform the task.
One of the greatest uses of the computer is "word processing", which is merely "glorified" typing, using the keyboard with the copy appearing on the screen as you type. You can correct or change your copy in just about any way imaginable and perform many other time saving functions before the copy is "sent to the printer" or to a disk to be stored for future processing or printing.
Before you make a decision on the purchase be sure you have a good idea of what computer applications you want. Are you going to use it extensively for word processing? For Accounting? Budgeting, Education, Entertainment, or perhaps a mailorder newsletter which requires fancy pictures and a good deal of art work, etc.
Pick up the brochures and booklets explaining the various computers and the software programs so you can review and study the various functions and make comparisons of ease of operation, price refund policy, etc.
When you shop for a computer system ask to operate the various computers yourself so that you will get the feel of each different brand.
Find out about the warranty and service, the availability of added hardware and software.
Does the dealer offer instructions with the purchase? Get the total cost for the unit and the software which will be required to perform the applications you want.
Purchase only the minimum software you need to get started and learn each program as you proceed. You will have a much better knowledge of just what additional software you will need after you have had the computer for a short time and have become more familiar with what it will do for you. However, since you will have substantial funds invested it will pay to purchase all the software necessary for your various needs so that you will get full value from your investment, but be certain you are not getting substitute programs or partial duplications of ones you already have.
What do you need a computer for? You can now purchase a computer that will run thousands of different programs. You can do just about anything; from games and entertainment to instruction, mathematics, engineering, managing any kind of data, to desk top publishing, business inventories and accounting. Those old timers in the accounting profession and in business management now look back over the many years of working without a computer and wonder how it was possible to accomplish what they did without a computer. Printers can now purchase a desktop publishing system for $10,0000 sufficient for many typesetting jobs that previously cost $60,000 just a couple of years ago. The computer-laser system is much faster thus saving on labor costs and by using plain paper at less than 1› a sheet instead of photo paper at 30› to 60›, they can cut operating costs extensively.
What kind of computer do you need? First look at the ease of use. Is it "user friendly"? Is the instruction manual easy to follow? Is there adequate software available for it? Does it give you a large enough screen to fit any work you will require? Can you "import" other compatible programs, images, etc., and merge with existing work? Does it give detailed realistic and high resolution results? How about color? Will you need color now or in the future? Is it easily expandable so that more memory or circuit boards, etc., can be added as your need grows? What type of printers will the computer handle?
Can you get questions answered and help when you need it. What about repairs, guarantees and service contracts? How much memory comes with the basic computer and is it going to be sufficient to handle all your projects? Considering the type of software being produced today you should purchase a system with no less than 256K and preferably much more. Also get a computer with at least two disk drives that will handle 2 sided, double density disks. The keyboard can be an integral part of the computer or detached. Detached is generally preferable because it gives you more flexibility. Pick a computer that uses a keyboard you feel comfortable with. Most computers now are built with standard keys. Be sure it is easy to control the "cursor", graphic keys, escape, repeat, break, reset and return keys.
As to the display window (monitor) you will need, if you are going to be doing a great deal of word processing (typing) a monochrome with green color is much easier on the eyes than black and white. If you are going to be doing color work or graphics you will need color monitor.
Printer: A printer is like a typewriter without keys. It prints out the information that is in the memory of the computer. The main kinds of printers are the "Dot Matrix", "The Letter Quality", and the various ink jet and laser printers. The dot matrix forms letters with tiny wires that punch a pattern of dots on the ribbon for each letter. Some are low print quality, but others look nearly letter quality. Letter quality printers produce typewriter quality print and are referred to as impact printers.
Certain brands of electronic typewriters can be interfaced (connected) with the computer and used as a printer. If you plan on going this route be sure to give it a good test before you buy. Many interfaced typewriters print slowly and also there is the possibility that the warranty on the typewriter may be voided. There are several different ways the paper is fed through the printer. Check to be certain the method used is adequate for your purpose. Also make sure the printer will accept the width and length of paper you require. It will take at least 80 characters for 8 1/2" paper and you will need 132 column printer for accounting or spreadsheets. Check the speed to determine how fast the printer works as there is a large variation between various types and brands of printers. The Laser printer is a great addition to the family of printers. Most good quality laser printers cost much more than Dot Matrix or Letter-Quality printers, but for many purposes they are well worth the difference. They have a great advantage when working with graphics, design, typesetting or desktop publishing. Perhaps a mailorder newsletter which requires fancy pictures and a good deal of art work etc.
Modem: You can use your computer to connect to hundreds of different sources of information through the use of a modem. This is an accessory that connects the computer to the telephone line. How fast you are able to send information over the phone is determined by the Baud rate. You should probably have a modem with 1200 baud that will work with the majority of others. Check with your dealer to be sure it is adequate for your system. You will need communication software programs in order to send and receive stored information.
Along with the line of communications, you can get a speech synthesizer or voice recognition add-on that converts your spoken words into writing or visa versa. To create computer game controllers, graphics and pictures you can get such things as light pens, plotters, mouses, etc. Other more expensive devices allow you to import photos, text, etc., directly into the computer for hard-copy printout. You can add circuit boards to your computer which will activate electrical devices; turn them on or off, dial your phone, or make mechanical monsters do what you command.
Software needed: Software is simply instructions that tell the compute what to do. It comes in the form of cassette tapes, diskettes or hard disks. Applications software will do exactly what you want to do; such as play a game, maintain a mailing list or teach mathematics, etc. Operating systems are programs that manage all the things that are going on inside your computer. Each different brand of computer has its own unique operating system so the software for some will not work on others. (Incompatibility) Different versions of the same software programs are made for each different type of system. However there are several operating systems that are "standard" compatibles and work on many different brands thus making thousands of programs available for most computers. Be sure you buy a computer with an operating system that can handle a great number of the programs available. Determine what you want the computer to do for you; games, accounting, name lists, desktop publishing, etc., then find out what software programs are available for that particular brand.
You can get software for about any kind of game, for Music composition, picture creation and transfers; for all kinds of educational programs, Budgeting, home management, mathematical analysis and engineering. business software includes word processing (which merely means an easy and much better way to type than with a typewriter), spreadsheets for financial analysis and planning, accounting, mailing lists, and just about anything else. For example, using the computer for all accounting activities for a firm is a terrific time and money saver. You can write the checks, enter receipts, accounts payable, accounts receivable, control inventories, prepare payrolls, and make the journal entries. All of these entries are automatically posted to the general ledger, eliminating hand posting altogether, and the trial balance, balance sheet, income statement, quarterly payroll reports, W-2 forms, income tax returns and other financial records are all ready to print out.
Before you settle on what software to purchase you should check out how easy it is to use. Are the instructions and screen help menus easy to understand? How fast does the program run and does it do everything you need? Does the software publisher furnish support and updates, with a number to call in the event of problems? Is the warranty adequate? Can you return the software if it doesn't perform as represented? Is it protected so that it is difficult or impossible to make a backup copy?
You can get software in the form of cassette tapes, cartridges, diskettes or hard disks. However cassette tapes and cartridges have several disadvantages including the fact that much of the best software is not available on cassettes. Preferably, settle for no less than programs on two sided-double density floppy diskettes. They are easy to use, store a great deal of information, reasonably priced and you can find anything on the disk almost instantly.
Programming: Would you like to write your own software program? Well, they try to tell you that it is easy. Don't you believe it. It takes a great deal of study and hundreds of hours at the computer to learn to the extent you can create any worthwhile programs. Even though it is a challenge and may be an enjoyable pastime there are so many programs available today that unless you are an expert programmer there is little chance you can come up with one that is marketable.
Basic is the most used computer language and is probably the one most valuable for you to learn, but since there are several versions a program that runs on one computer may not run on another brand. Pascal and Assembler are languages which are used mostly by expert programmers. Scientists and engineers can use a language called Fortran for best results. Several other languages are used for computer and video games.
Taking care of your computer system: It is good policy to keep your computer and printing equipment covered with anti-static dust free covers when not in use. Keep your screen and other equipment clean and free of dust. Use a head cleaning kit to clean your disk drive in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. Place your computer so that air circulates freely around it. Use three wire plug ins with a ground and get a surge protector to protect your computer from sudden voltage changes. Use a felt tip pen for diskette labels and don't touch the magnetic surface. Keep your diskettes stored away from sunlight or heat and if you spill coffee or drink on a disk, forget it!
Read the small print of your warranty so you will know exactly what to expect in the event of problems. Keep the original boxes and packing materials so that you can safely ship your equipment back for repairs or adjustment.
