Code of the Netizens
This Newsletter is not free, despite the misleading advertising above.

The Fee is now due. Each week you must help one collegue on the internet who has less knowledge than you.-Help that person even if you have to visit their classroom or do a little research and get back to them. Trust me, this will help a lot of people get their computer classrooms running much better much faster. OK I'm trusting you!!!
