How to get control of spam
More than 10.8 TRILLION spam messages will be sent out this year, according to a report from th IDC Market Intelligence firm. If you’ve had it with the share of junk e-mail you’ve been getting, there’s only one method for dealing with it: You need an anti-spam filter that uses Bayesian filters.
Bayesian filtering is like a robot for your Outlook e-mail box. It intelligently knows which e-mails you’ve received that are good and which are spam by using artificial intelligence and server blacklists. It makes sure good emails make it to your Inbox.
The anti-spam program I like the most for Windows machines is called SpamBully. It analyzes email so effectively that in many cases it is more accurate than filtering by hand.
The very first time you start SpamBully, its Bayesian spam filter will intelligently learn from your own personal e-mail habits, identifying good and spam messages.
Everytime you download your email, SpamBully will make sure good e-mails make it to your Inbox. Spam emails are sent to the “Spam” folder. E-mails SpamBully may have difficulty classifying, go to a special “Unsure” folder. You can always adjust emails in these folders by using the “Spam” and “Not Spam” buttons in the SpamBully toolbar.
You decide who and what makes it into your Inbox. Choose which e-mail addresses,words/phrases, countries, and IP’s are allowed or blocked from your Inbox. You do not need to add e-mails in your address book to your Allow/Block list. SpamBully already makes sure these addresses always make it to your Inbox.
Optionally you can just delete spam messages instead of sorting them to a spam folder. You never have to see a spam message again.
One of the reasons I like this program so much is because you can try it out for two weeks absolutely free. If you want to purchase it, it’s just $29.95 a year. That’s very reasonable for the amount of protection it delivers.

How to save big money on printer ink
One of the most frustrating things computer users can go through is to suddenly be faced with an “out of ink” message when printing an important document. Even more frustrating is going to the store and paying those outrageous prices for new ink cartridges.
If you’ve ever gone to the store to buy ink cartridges and discovered that buying an entirely new printer might actually be cheaper, you already know just how much brand name ink cartridges can cost. You’ve probably also tried buying so-called replacement inks at a bargain price, only to find that they didn’t offer the same quality or represented very little actual value.
Is it possible to find high-quality ink that rivals the cartridges offered by the manufacturer without paying a premium price?
The answer is yes. Just do a search on remanufactured or crcycled ink cartridges and you’ll find several companies online that provide these services. I use a company called 411inkjets.com. They provide free shipping on most of my orders, a one year money back guarantee and terrific prices.
I have saved as much as 75% by buying remanufactured ink cartridges. The ones I got from411inkjets.com have worked flawlessly with every printer I’ve ever used - HP, Canon, Epson, Lexmark, you name it.
They’re not the only company out there, of course. And I’ve noticed a lot of ink recycling shops opening in storefronts. I just prefer the convenience of ordering online and not having to run out. Because of the savings, I can order in advance and always have a supply onhand when the printer runs dry.
