How To Store And Find Information On Your Computer
Dear Computer Lady,
I am a stay at home mom with a home party plan business. I do a lot of training through
emails.
My question and dilemma is this, when I receive an email I "move" it to a folder in my email
account. Is there a way to save that folder and its contents to my computer and burn that
info onto a cd or just have as a folder on my desktop?
I refer to this information often and would like access to it quickly and readily.
Thanks for your help and all your great emails, Jacqueline in Reno, NV
Dear Jacqueline,
Moving e-mail messages in and out of your e-mail program is more involved than it would
seem. This is because each message is contained in one larger file that your e-mail
program maintains. When you drag a message to your desktop, it does become a separate
file, but you still need to have your e-mail program open to use the file, and putting that
message back into your e-mail program is not as easy as getting it out.
I have experimented with saving messages over the years and have done everything from
saving each one as a text file, to creating extensive folders in my email program.
Since you want to have the information readily available on your desktop, and you said that
you have a lot of information, I would suggest that you use a program that would not only
allow you to easily organize your information, but also includes a great search function for
those times when you can't remember where you saved that bit of information that you
need.
I use a great program called "Treepad Business Edition" for my information storage. I have
one file that I store articles for this newsletter in, and another that I use for training
information and answers to questions that my VeggieLight.com team members ask me. I
also keep another file with information from online purchases so I can easily go back and
find receipts from online purchases.
Treepad Business Edition allows me to organize my information in a folder (or tree)
structure similar to how you might organize folders in your e-mail program. The one
difference between the two is that I have never lost a Treepad file because of corruption,
while it is fairly common to lose your e-mail folder due to a corrupt or virus infected e-mail
message. It is easy to create folders and subfolders in Treepad, and you can easily drag an
article from one place to another in the program.
2. When I know I have information in the program, but can't remember where I put it, Treepad
has a great search function that helps me find exactly what I am looking for.
Give this program a try and let me know what you think. Download a free 30 day trial using

How To Take Advantage Of Your Ipod
We all know what the Apple iPod is capable of. Of course, one is able to download, store
and play an almost infinite number of songs on just about any version of the iPod. And for
more advanced users, there are iPods capable of playing movies and videos, and can
display pictures as well. Indeed, the iPod is a fantastic item for someone to bring all of their
favorite songs and singers with them wherever they go. Yup, the iPod pretty neat in that
regard.
So, why would you want to waste the capabilities and abilities of your iPod on stuff you
already know and like?
Okay, so there's an absolutely favorite song that you just can't live without and must have
with you at all times or else you may just die. That makes sense, so go ahead, put that song
on your iPod. But, even though it's easy, effective and enjoyable to plaster your iPod full of
familiar songs, that's incredibly boring and bland. It's like going to a high-end car dealer to
test drive a Porsche, but you pout with your arms folded because you want to drive a
Tempo. What have you got to lose, besides experiencing and discovering something new?
The same principle can apply to the iPod. The iPod is designed to store songs downloaded
from a computer onto it. So, take advantage of that and download and listen to every song
and artist that you've heard of and wanted to hear. Depending on how you download music,
it'll cost you nothing, or it'll cost you about a buck a song. If you're paying for your
3. downloads (good for you), set aside some money for new chances and discoveries.
Remember the old days of buying tapes and CD's? You had to purchase the entire album in
order to get the opportunity to listen to it. And, if you found that the artist or album wasn't to
your liking ' or just plain sucked ' well, too bad for you, because most record stores wouldn't
take the album back. Many people complained that this wasn't particularly fair, but, hey,
that's the way it was.
Now, the technology exists to listen to just about anything you want wherever you want. So,
what do most people do? Download the popular song of the day and listen to it non-stop on
their iPod, even though it gets played on the radio every 14 seconds. Now, there's nothing
wrong with that at all ' it's your iPod, do what you want with it. But, the opportunity now
presents itself where you can take a chance and discover something you've always wanted
to hear, without any risk to you.
Another great thing about the iPod is its portability. If you want to really get to know and
understand a particular artist that you're interested in, you can download the songs onto
your iPod and listen to them wherever you want, whenever you want. So, you don't have to
listen to small sample in a crowded record store, or listen on your computer while you're
doing seven other things at the same time. You can get the tracks on your iPod, go for a
walk or sit quietly and really immerse yourself and decide if you really like the songs and
singers or not.
The iPod is a tremendously convenient and fun device to have. That being said, some
people aren't really exploring the limits of their iPod because they don't realize that the iPod
is designed to play music ' all kinds and forms of music.
