Sooner or later, sending e-mails to "opt in" lists will seriously backfire on you. Did you know 73% of people who complain about getting too many e-mails are from people on "opt in" lists?

Q:

How much technical "know how" should you have when it comes to using a computer?

A:

Almost none. Just the bare basics. Here's something you've seen a hundred times in movies and on TV: An important-looking guy walks into the "tech" (geek) room of his operation. He says, "Hey, No-Life, can you get me an aerial map of California on your PC screen?"

No-Life replies, "Sure", taps his keyboard with lightning speed and... SHAZAAM!... there is the aerial map.

"Now zoom in on San Diego", says IG (Important Guy). The geek does so. "Now find Bleeker Street for me," says IG. "Great! Now can you find the house at 123 Bleeker Street?"

The geek does. Then IG says, "Zoom in on the driveway." In a flash, No-Life does it. "See that yellow Hummer or SUV there? See if you can zoom in and get the license plate for me."

The geek zooms in on the license plate but, it's a bit blurry. "Can you enhance that image for me?" asks Mr. IG to No-Life. The geek does and then, under IG's instructions, No-Life prints out the tag number.

"Thanks," says IG and then he stops the gorgeous female assistant who is scurrying across the room with an armful of printouts. "Hey Doll," says IG, "I've got a 911 situation here. I need you to run this file through all the databases we have access to."
