How reliable is email in today’s Internet world? Perfect, isn’t it? You would think that it would be completely reliable — we use it all the time. All we’re doing is pushing around electrons and we’ve known how to do that, in one way or another, for an awfully long time.

Whether we are writing to friends, sending a joke, sending a picture, or sending a business message, email has become a part of our lives. We’ve come to rely on it for easy communications. We don’t even understand our friends that don’t “do” email.

Back in the early 1990’s, I was driving to work one day and heard an NPR announcement of the upcoming radio drama series “Star Wars.”

My excitement at the announcement was overwhelmed by the impression of the actual radio drama!

Instead of the visual candy of the screen version, the radio drama enabled me to visualize the events and people. Definitely a good thing! Several of the roles were reprised by the original actors.

Star Wars (“Episode 4″) was filled in the holes in the movie. The 2.5 hour movie became 13 episodes at about 45 minutes each — lots of time for characters to develop and to address the background, too.

This set includes not only the original Episode 4, but also Episode 5 (The Empire Strikes Back) and Episode 6 (Return of the Jedi).

I highly recommend this CD set. You’ll enjoy it for a long time.

I just woke up to this sale over at Sunbelt Software — and it ends tomorrow July 4th!

I sent a quick Special Edition newsletter to the subscribers of my free email computer tips newsletter to let them know.

As I’ve written a number of times, I believe that all computer users should have an anti-spyware/anti-adware program that runs all the time. Periodic scans are not a precaution — they are an attempt to identify a problem after it already exists and then to try to cure it!

Prevention is the key. Why let your computer get infected and then try to clean it? An always-running program can prevent many spyware/adware infections from occurring. CounterSpy also has a deep-scanning program to periodically scan your hard drive to see if anything got through. CounterSpy checks for program and signature updates every time you reboot, too.

I prefer, I run and I recommend CounterSpy.

Act now and get $4 off the regular $19.99 price of CounterSpy.

If you’ve got 2 computers, you can get 2 licenses for only $25.96 during this Sale.

By the way, I watched as their sale last week on their Kerio Firewall program expired — their web server is set to Eastern Daylight Time — they’re in Florida and the web server is set to Florida local time. Don’t wait until the last minute…The Sale Ends July 4th.
