I've thrown in the towel and joined the blog craze. Join me at
http://neatnettricks-jteems.blogspot.com .
In a few days, all subscribers to Neat Net Tricks will be receiving a
special mailing. It's a survey, and before you scream "Not another survey!"
please hear me out. NNT is nearing 14 years of continuous publication and in
that period of time, I've only asked readers to complete a couple of
surveys. It has been years since the last one, and high time that I get some
feedback from each and everyone of you. I need your honest opinions and from
that I promise to improve NNT even better. So, when you get the mailing,
please set aside just a few minutes from your busy schedule and do me a real
favor, won't you? I promise it will be time well spent and I'll return the
favor in the form of an even better publication that you'll want to read for
many years to come.
01. THE EAGLES OF HORNBY ISLAND are back again! Has it been a couple of
years since I watched this live video with fascination as hatching time
approached? The Caricks who own the property have taken their house off the
market and the video camera is back in operation. Hopefully these beautiful
birds won't clobber each other over the head with a branch as the discussion
group says happened last year. See for yourself at
http://www.hancockwildlifechannel.org/staticpages/index.php/20080401010059972
but I warn you, it can be addicting!
02. REMINDER FOX at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1191 is
a free Firefox browser add-on that alerts and reminds of important events
without having to maintain a complete calendar.

Spell Check, Inline Search, Super Drag Drop, Crash Recovery, Proxy Switcher,

you're missing. For example, in the current issue we featured a site that

about your USB devices, captures images, converts sound files, allows you to
paint and share drawings, learn a sign language from videos, view your
laptop battery capacity, examine your computer components in depth,
manipulate your photos, and much more, all for free. Our featured article
warns of the current Internet scams that are riding the crest of our
economic woes.
If you're currently a Premium subscriber, you have likely already read that
content-packed issue and tried some of the neat programs mentioned. If not,
