TRICK#1: WEB SITES FROM YOUR HARD DRIVE - FREE!
http://www.maximumsoft.com/

Not long ago you'd pay an arm and a leg for software that can save complete copies of your favorite business research or other helpful sites. Students can now afford to download a wide variety of useful information to their hard drive. Web gurus can download an entire site and study its structure and details!

This free and easy to use software is a multi functional off-line browser that copies entire Web sites (up to thousands of levels!) and stores them locally until you are ready to view them. It goes way beyond the built in capabilities of traditional web browsers and features precise link searching, rapid downloading and lots of other powerful features.

If you are house hunting you can easily download all the information you need to review with your family -- and you can then do that review off line wherever and whenever you desire!

Do you know if your web site is running smoothly all the time? Now you can monitor your site (small or large) to be sure that it is up and running without interruption!

This free monitoring service sends you an e-mail alert if it detects that your site is down or if any error is encountered. They then send you a second e-mail if your site continues to show problems 30 minutes after the initial error was detected. Finally, when your site is back up you will receive a "recovery" e-mail.

Next time your provider tells you that all is running without a hitch be sure to send along a copy of your reports -- they will confirm what Aunt Agnes has been telling you all along "That site ain't always working!"

Friend just bought a house? Neighbor has a wedding coming up? Congratulations in order? Here's a fresh new collection of e-greeting cards. This is where the real estate professionals go to help them keep in touch with their buyers and sellers. You can easily find what you need interspersed among the professional cards.

The Real Estate CyberSpace Society hosts this great place where you will find 24 additional top e-tools for real estate folks and their clients --- all with the Society's compliments!

Want to e-mail Tom Cruise? Or maybe Tiger Woods. How about Neil Diamond or George W. Bush? This fun place gives you an alphabetized directory allowing you to track down celebrity e-mail addresses.

This is a good site to try out the old Ctrl + F trick. Simply hold down your Ctrl and F keys simultaneously and enter a few search letters to find your celebrity. We tried "Boz" and guess what? Up came Bozo the Clown at: bozo@tribune.com

Great place to clown around!
