Advanced web publishing tool for both Mac and PC Macromedia dreamweaver
Expensive: Near $400.00 but Powerful.
Adove GoLive, contrary to what Paul said, appears to still be a viable product made by Adobe! http://www.adobe.com/products/golive though it looks like they want to fold its functionality into Dreamweaver 8 in the future. Caller was looking for a Tutor for this product!

Thanks to Adam Brodel of SmarterBroadBand.Com in talking about new long range wireless access in Nevada County
James called into Adam about the You Bet Rd area to see if there is any coverage area there. DVD reproduction & labelling contact a company in town called Sound Idea 478-8770
Jeff, what type of speed can Adam provide via SmarterBroadband.com, check the web site for various options for up & download speeds.
Alan called in to see if LCD's screen are affected by high altitude. He lives at 6300k near Tahoe. Most likely LCD's are not affected by the difference in pressure at that altitude, though Adam says that plasma tv screens are affected.
Coulter has Mac OS10.4 with ITunes can't connect to radio station in Colorado KOTO.org http://koto.org/listen.php, there might be a problem with the proxy server & port number that that internet radio feed is coming in on.
Ellen has a friend with a pc running ME and using 64mb will this computer work ok for getting onto the internet & checking e-mail, yes, just don't open too many windows at once!
Truett, using Real Audio and can't get KVMR online … we recommend removing Real Player on the Add Remove Programs List & using ITunes or Windows Media Player.
Is SmarterBroadband.com available in the Loma Rica area of Grass Valley. Adam suggests checking out the web site to see if that area can get the signal.
Rich, can you magnify images and text on an internet page using Internet Explorer? Check out ADA programs on the PC to check … Google Toolbar uses a nice simple magnifier … try FireFox
Chamba Gmail from Thunderbird hanging up sometimes …. possible that a .wav file is having trouble or another large file is trying to be downloaded on his dial up connection. Go into Gmail via the web and delete any e-mails containing large attachments.
Adam's favorties:
AVG free
RoboForm
Evernote for the PC
Cloudmark to filter spam in Outlook & Outlook Express
Paul's favorites:
Thoughtfulness & Time

AVG Antivirus
AVG is from the Czech Republic, capital Prague, a small and efficient antivirus program, from http://free.grisoft.com
In my opinion, this beats the pants of current incarnations of Norton Anti virus and McAffee which used to be the de facto standard for PC protection but have become bloated and, due to their remaining prevalence, now a prime target of anything that does manage to get by,
AVG has no firewall, because I find XP's own firewall more than adequate.
AVG has no Anti-spam because your Internet Provider should be taking all reasonable measures to defeat spam. What they cannot stop, your machine will certainly have trouble with,
Stick to the Ant Spam tools within a decent EMail program like ThunderBird which relies on your address book to figure who you do or do not communicate with,
The site above also inludes a link to New AVG Anti-Spyware. Spyware is a different kind fo threat handled differently that viruses and worms, but just as important. Windows Defender, provided by Microsoft, has been found largely ineffective even against fairly well known threats.
The above AVG programs are free for personal use, and have limitations such as Support that do NOT impact their efectiveness. KVMR has used a site license for all its computers since 2005.
