What A Shame

Lets begin with this important statement:
People who have not taken at least one course about computers. Well, should be required to do so BEFORE allowed to purchase any of the following; cellphone, smartphone, phablet, tablet, laptop and even a desktop computer. Why? Because they all as known as computers and they take a little getting used to.

As for me? I took my course long before Microsoft brought out Windows, Hotmail, Internet Explorer and so forth and so on.
In fact in order to get from point A to point B you needed to know DOS and know it pretty well.
In fact the first few versions easily was built on the backbone of DOS. In fact Windows 10 has to have DOS working in it some place. Dont believe me? Open up Command Prompt and you will be looking at DOS. DOS stands for Disk Operating System.

So why the lessson?

I have seen grown men up in years purchase a cell phone and they have zero idea what they have, how to use it and even how to turn it off and on. And they they stand in the middle of an isle in a store and become frustrated and angry at a piece of machinery.
A week later? They are about as bad as when they got the cellphone. I have seen a grown man nearly throw his cell phone in the trash because he was so frustrated.

Some other things:

A. Not knowing what a browser and portals are.

B. What and where to go to recieve their email.

C. That they have to cancel Yahoo ot Hotmail accounts because they change ISPs.

D. They have zero knowledge what ISP stands for. In some brains they think Yahoo is an ISP.

The above is just a few things i have seen, heard about or witnessed.
And to boot; when you try to teach them they become verbally combative.

The point is as follows:

#1. Before you buy someone a cellphone do a little educating.

#2. All the above mentioned tools are just that. An item that can get you the information you need in only seconds.

#3. If a friend spends time doing maintance on your computer to "speed it up" or as they also say "clean it up" be kind enough to give them monentary funding. After all if you took it to a store they might charge you two or three hundred dollars. My going rate is usually $45 per hour plus $50 traveling fee. If work is done in 1 1/2 hours it works out to two hours.

Please remember the following:

Computers have sensitive componts inside. Its not your automobile where a few good whacks and its fixed. In fact a few good whacks on a computer could kill it.

Footnote:
TOPIC: Did you know?

Sometimes there is free software or a game hidden on the software you bought. But in order to locate it you need to know how to open the disk. And this you do by.....oh you thought I was going to tell you how? Shame on you!
Truly, once in a while there is free software on a piece of siftware or pc game you just bought.

Peace out✌

Website tips

So your heart to see what is fresh off the press per se. So for the next few minutes let's talk about your website and or blog OK?

For the sake of argument let's pretend you are new to creating websites. Let's throw in the mix that your website involves your business. Here is some tips to sparkled your site.
Thanksgiving and Christmas is quickly approaching what do you do to get people interested in your website.
#1. Realize that within the first 5-10 seconds you have to wow them without killing them.
#2. Good graphics (jpg and gif) are key. Using jpg and gif are long standards. But using flash these days are used mostly by big named business like Ford and Dodge. So keep it simple.
#3. Keep your website balanced. To many of decorations are a turn off and you lose that potential customer.
#4. Get ideas by visiting other websites. See what they are doing and put the information in your brain for later use.
#5. Personally I use a general holiday theme. Why? Because a good website takes about 2 weeks to be turned over to a different holiday theme. The phrase "Happy Holiday" may seem on the harsh side but it covers not only Thanksgiving and Christmas but Happy New Year as well.
#6. Using gif pictures as a border may seem like a sweet idea but it is NOT.  Why? It removes the visitors eyes from the content of the website. Either simply use jpgs or no border whatsoever.
#7. Knowing html coding is important. It allows you freedom in creating a website.
One example would be the useage if a marquee.
#8. If you do not have a collection of graphics take a few days collecting graphics legally!  There are websites that offer free graphics.
#9. If you plan on separating holiday graphics your website ought to be done by November and December 10th the 15th at the largest.
#10. Lastly, backup the website before you do holiday decorations. This will ensure that you will have a completed website before and after the holidays.

Hope the above is of help to you as we approach the happiest part of the year.

John 13:34-35““A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com. Copyright (C) . All Rights Reserved.

Years ago I heard a story about a person who knew of the needs of another. Due to his shyness he did not want anyone to know of what he would do. Often he would send his/her love gifts via a simple money orders for various amounts.
Do you know what the needs of Thunderdome Ministries are? Or how about yours truly in the realm of proper suits and ties and so forth. You can send a love gift via a simple money order to

No one will know who you are, or the amount you have given since a money order has no need for the senders name nor address. Thus whom ever does not feel comfortable about sending in love gifts this way could just be the best way for you to do so without the world knowing anything else.

I believe that the Lord wants this ministry to move forward. Furthermore He wants to send this person out to do speaking engagements. And lastly I believe that Operation Second Chance needs to move forward in assisting men of faith to adjust to society and with their walk with God as they exit prison life here in the state of Michigan.
Now you know of a way to support this ministry without all the fanfare or everyone knowing who is assisting. Thus you would be the ministries secret supporters. Will you start supporting the ministry this month?
