Wahoo's Computer & Internet Tips Newsletter - August 2005In The News This Month... Anyways, the weather finally smartened up at the beginning of August and it's been pretty nice since. Maybe that's why the summer has flown by because of the crappy weather we got in June and July. I remember hearing the phrase of "getting an Indian summer" and as a young child thinking that meant we would have more summer holidays from school. Imagine the disappointment I felt when we still had to go back right after Labour Day! I have included 2 articles for your reading pleasure this month. The first article is Entrepreneurial Laboratory - Market Testing Prior To Investing by Riki Trafford. The second article is Why Buy a Laptop by Christian Barzelle. Hope you enjoy them! That's that. Thanks for reading! Did You Know...?The writers of The Simpsons have never revealed what state Springfield is in. Entrepreneurial Laboratory - Market Testing Prior To Investing"Entrepreneurial Laboratory" is what the Internet has
transformed into during the last ten years. Amazingly, the
year was 1993 when Marc Andreasen launched the first ever"point & click" Internet browser called Mosaic at a trusting
world. And, an Internet usable by every person was born!
You no longer needed to learn strange programming languages From the time when the Internet first appeared, it contained a galaxy of stuff covering a mind-boggling range of topics. The Internet quickly became an alternative for audio systems, VCR, telephone, and in some situations, television. But for the entrepreneur, its most compelling, and
potentially life-changing role is as an almost
instantaneous, very low cost medium for direct mail No, I don't mean the TV corporate-style advertising aimed at building brand image, and winning design awards. I mean the kind of advertising which calls you to do something, rather than just smile gently and ask "what was all that about" as we often do with TV ads. The call might be to sign up for more information, download an e-book, to phone a call centre, or even bare your credit card and order goods or services on line! In traditional Direct Marketing, the cost for setting up
magazine advertisements can run into hundreds or even
thousands of dollars, followed by a wait of weeks or months
before the advertiser gets responses back. In contrast, the
cost for an Internet entrepreneur to set up a small ad is
little more than tens of dollars or as much as a couple Is this opportunity just what your business is ready for? Will your current business increase revenue upon adding a new online sales process? Or is it a new online business venture you're ready to launch? Considering that many of the payment, fulfillment and ordering processes can be automated - along with many sales processes too - this amazing technological medium contains outstanding commercial power.

Why Buy A Laptop?Millions of people now have a computer in their homes and perhaps another one they use while on the job. Although many still use the old desktop models, more and more consumers are switching to laptop computers. Convenience of use and portability are two of the main reasons for this switch. If you have not yet decided to use a laptop, here are some reasons to consider doing so. A laptop weighs less than the traditional model of
computer. This means that when you move furniture or clean
around your desk area, it will be easier to lift your
laptop or rearrange its location. You can scoot it forward The laptop is readily portable between work and home for those wishing to coordinate functions between both locations. Rather than copying programs or files to disk to transport between the two locations, all you need to do is turn the unit off and carry it with you. USB ports are used for the very same purpose, but the laptop allows you to use the same keyboard and programs at all times rather than adapting to more than one system. Laptops may be used for several hours without being plugged
in to recharge their batteries. This makes it convenient
to take with you to presentations or meetings to take
notes, record data, or just about anything you need to get
more out of such events. You can bring your laptop along It's clear to see that laptop computers are here to stay. As technology becomes even more advanced and yet more compressed, it is likely that tinier units will compete for popularity, like the pocket computer. The bottom line is that the old clunkers are on their way out, and perhaps with good reason. It's time to make way for new innovations that can help us move faster and link information in ways that make our lives more comfortable and meaningful. If you do not yet use a laptop, give some thought to getting one for home or office. Christian Barzelle is the website owner of Found Laptop Group which is considered to be a key resource for laptops. Copyright 2000 - 2006 Wahoo Enterprises
