Twice monthly in the Premium edition you get at least 12 tips not published in the Standard issue. Additionally, there's a Pick-of-the-Issue tip, a "Two-Minute Tekkie Tip" containing some timely advice, a "Spotted On The Web" item of interest, and a full-length featured article of real interest to every computer user. Sprinkled throughout Premium issues are contests for software giveways and other special reports and features. All of this comes to you in enhanced graphics and no ads. If you're not familiar with NNT Premium, you can get a "sneak peek" of a recent issue at http://www.neatnettricks.com and even sign up for a subscription without risk. I'm betting that you'll agree, $12 a year is a bargain for what you'll get in your email box 24 times a year. * * * * * 05. FREE FLASH WEBSITE.
