Links and Mail

Found a really neat utility for Firefox. Actually it's an add-on. Found it at Kim Komando's site. There's a link to Kim's site at the bottom of the page. The add-on is called Interclue and should be available for Internet Explorer, Safari, etc., soon. It gives you the ability to hover over a link and find out all about it before clicking on it and traveling to the site. The beach house has it installed and will be reviewing it over the next few weeks. Here's the Firefox link - Mozilla.org.

Now for a subject near and dear to my heart, email manners. The HowTo site has a very good article about How to Improve Your E-mail Etiquette. As said many times before using GMail will cure what ails you concerning email. The spam filter in GMail is super. I also like the way it has an internal search engine. Since I have every GMail received since 2005, with the exception of reported spam, it's nice to be able to search with an engine as powerful as Google.

Speaking of email, thanks to everyone for the nice cards and letters about yesterday's post. Apparently I am not alone in my opinion about how rude some children AND their parents have become circa 2009.

"Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use."
