Sorry mungkin OOT tapi mudah2an bermanfaat. Webwasher untuk mempercepat browsing karena nggak perlu load banner, maupun popup window. Microsoft Manual mungkin perlu karena kabanyakan disini software microsoft yang "dibeli" nggak ada manualnya. salam, Utomo Sorry pak admin ngabisin 4KB --------- WebWasher --------- The three things that annoy me the most are banner ads, javascript pop-up windows, and Yoko Ono. I don't think I can do much about Yoko, but I think I have found a way to deal with the first two: WebWasher. You've probably already heard of WebWasher. Me, well, I'm an old coot and I am just getting around to using it. Originally developed by German electronics giant Siemens, WebWasher is a free filter program for both the PC and Mac versions of Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Once you install WebWasher on your computer, the program automatically blocks unwanted Web content like banner ads and pop-up windows. Instead of the ads, all you see is white space -- the ads aren't even downloaded! :) Why would anyone want to block out banner ads? Well, some banner ads are offensive to children (I did a Yahoo search for "Patrick Crispen" while I was at a local elementary school, and a banner ad for Playboy appeared. Granted, it was funny ... just not appropriate.) Also, cutting out banner ads and pop-up windows speeds up your Web surfing (one less thing to download). Finally -- and correct me if I am wrong -- I think blocking banner ads also solves the DoubleClick "tracking cookie" problem we talked about a couple of months ago. Aren't DoubleClick's cookies served with their ads? Block the ads, and I think you also block DoubleClick's cookies (but I could be wrong). What is most amazing is that WebWasher is free for non-commercial (home) users. You heard right, folks: IT'S FREE! To download it, point your Web browser to <A HREF="http://www.webwasher.de/en/software/wwash/download.htm" http://www.webwasher.de/en/software/wwash/download.htm </A>. Once you download WebWasher to your hard drive (the file less than 1 Mb in size, so it should download pretty quickly). double-click on the installation file to install the program, and then follow the on- screen instructions to configure both WebWasher and your browser. This sounds complicated, but it is actually pretty easy. :) That's it! You are now free to surf the Web relatively ad-free. And unlike a lot of other ad filtering programs, WebWasher doesn't change the appearance of most popular Web sites. In fact, some sites -- like Intellicast -- look significantly better without the ads! Cool, huh? Now if only I could find a YokoWasher program, my life would be complete. :) ----------------- Microsoft Manuals ----------------- It is not too often that I am proud of Microsoft, but this is an exception. Many people around the world have vision problems and are unable to read regular, printed materials. To help these people, Microsoft has created a page at <A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/enable/products/docs/default.htm"> http://www.microsoft.com/enable/products/docs/default.htm </A> that provides plain text, downloadable versions of most of the manuals that ship with Microsoft's products. Visually impaired people can download these text files and enlarge the print or have the text read to them with a text-to-speech reader. The files are not perfect -- many include formatting tags like <H3> here and there -- but they are better than nothing. Why do I mention this here? Well, 1. If you are visually impaired, Microsoft's "Accesible Documentation" page is a godsend. 2. If you have misplaced any of the manuals that came with your version of Windows, Office, or FrontPage, you can read all of Microsoft manuals here (sans images) for free! - Kirim bunga untuk handaitaulan & relasi di jakarta www.indokado.com To unsubscribe, e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Netika BerInternet : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
