CYBER MAGIC TRICKS

TRICK#1: GET YOUR ANSWER WITH ONE CLICK!
http://www.gurunet.com/
Here's a neat way to get information on just about anything you see on the web, in e-mail or in documents! Just hold down the Alt key and right click on any word and Shazam! Up pops a screen with more information on the word or subject along with a thesaurus lookup, translations into over 10 languages and an automatic web lookup!

The entire process is as easy as it gets- no typing- no big search process and takes just a second or two. Great trick and it's free!

TRICK#2: GET THE SPIES OUT OF YOUR COMPUTER!
http://www.lavasoft.nu/
Did you know there is a good chance that you have a spy in your computer! Security folks call it spyware and gets on your computer through many popular shareware or freeware programs. When you download a program with one of these nasties, the program automatically installs itself on your system, without you even knowing it.

Now to the rescue comes a small and easy to use program that will scan your system for known advertising systems, and let you remove them safely. Quite simply, this software scans your system so you can view a list of all spyware references residing on your system, and select to remove any or all of these moles found on your system.

All this and to top it off this spy catcher is free!


GREAT PLACES
GREAT PLACE #1: REAL ESTATE BRIEFINGS ON THE WEB!

GREAT PLACE #2: GREATEST REFERENCE BOOKS ON-LINE!
http://www.recyber.com/reintelligence/library.html
The Librarian at the Real Estate On-line Library just announced the addition of a huge collection of many of the most popular reference books available anywhere. Starting with the 70-volume Harvard Classic collection, the complete Gray's Anatomy plus a mind boggling reference list- plus verse plus fiction plus non fiction and you start to rival many "hard floor" libraries!

When you add that to the Real Estate On-line Library's already extensive bookshelves full of complete text real estate reference materials and you'll find out why so many folks bookmark this giant on-line resource!
