companies such as Apple
Computers and Microsoft are leaping ahead of them and provide downloadable
tunes via the Internet for a small price. Apple's iTunes, available at HERE has over 200,000 records available for download for 99 cents each, that's not bad considering you can also preview before you buy. Microsoft - never the one to be left behind - released a similarly priced European version that uses their Media Player version 9 application available at HERE You can find more information regarding Microsoft's service at the following website: HERE So what was the music industry’s response? The Beatles' record label Apple Corp decided to sue Apple computers: HERE . Why don't they just create their own downloadable websites? One thing I do know is that regardless of any legal actions, there's still an abundance of people sharing and downloading music. I think the companies have left it too late..Another Email Virus… It seems there are always new variants of email viruses hitting our

PCs weekly and it's difficult to tell which ones are real and which are
hoaxes. One such email was the Jdbgmgr.exe hoax. This contained
instructions where the user was told to delete certain files in their
"System" folder. In this case the files weren't system critical files, but
they could have easily been so. So before you follow any instructions
contained within emails, visit McAfee's virus search page at HERE This page provides a virus search utility and will tell you whether it's a hoax virus and if not, how to erase it. Flash Mobbing More flash mobbing details can be found at: http://www.cheesebikini.com/ and HERE Vince Chin |
