Thank you so very much. I too hate hard copy Faxes. It does not appear you can send from K7 but this is certainly still a blessing for sure. I have placed it in my start up so I will be reminded daily till I have time to set it up maybe Friday. I see they have vanity fax numbers as well. I am not sure if they offer a paid premium service or not yet but seems the free one is all you could need.

The image doc you receive,,,, Is it Text based screen shot that Acrobat can reconize or some OCR program ?

Sorry to bother you about all this but I have the full version of Acreobat and distiller and all and can convert these if you can I am sure.

Thank you for your kind info.

Deborah, can you tell me more about this K& thing? I used to run some freeware and some 100-1000+ dollar programs but never was happy with any of them. I hate having a phone cable pluged in to my computer due to lightening strikes as I had one that went right through a UPS backup and surge protector once and have been leary every since. The APC company stood behind thier warranty and replaced the system as agreed due to product failure but I would love to know about the email fax or K& program...

Thanks

Charlie

With no intention of pointing fingers here at Deborah or anyone else. I do advise all caution as a past computer security consultant.

Executing "tools" or programs that are seemingly friendly programs can be dual or multi layer programs embedded with a simple joiner program. When you run what seems and is an actual program that can be helpful and function exactly as it is supposed to, you may also be running a program that is not at all intended to be on your computer and does not have any visable signs of being there.

These programs can be any thing from screen capture and email senders to trojans to any number of other malicious codes that can do anything from executing a simple script all the way up to warping your rundll program in windows or other complex actions.

Anti virus and anti spyware programs are only as good as the latest update and effective only against the more common threats. A skilled script kiddie or hacker can develop programs that do not get widely distributed and go under the radar of reqular virus and malicious code detections.

There are also the old hackers( and a few new ones) that are skilled in the old dos level languages or even bios and low level system programming that no reqular programs are really made to detect.

While some of the best programs I have seen are the free ware programs also some of the most dangerous ones are as well.

My contention is a reasonable one and that is if you are going to make a fortune using a program they why would you need a free program to do this as you surely could purchase the ultimate programs with such returns on your investments. We have historically developed all our programs that we use on our internet ventures in house as we was able to do so due to the fact they did really make us money and not just a pretend or marketing hype thing.

Making money on the internet is certainly possible but its not for free and its not for easy. It requires intense time measures and knowledagable marketing skills. If it were not so then every one would be doing it.

Think about it.

#2 is the only in the lot that captures your attention and holds it. All of them to me do not present the most profession of imaging. If any of them was a nationally reconized logo already I would support them but I feel as if all of them are almost cartoonish in design.

That said again while I probably like #2 the least it is the only one of them that can hold your attention and make you look at the logo.

I am not sure what you intend to accomplish with the logo or what its best intentioned intent is so I hush now.

You said in part : I wish someone had the secret for explaining how to make it easy for people to see the good through all the bad. And meanwhile still use the internet as a mechanism for proper promotions.

Your wish just came true I hope. Forums with dedicated people that really put the effort into running them and then people that really participate in them.

Step two People that lay their credentials on the line and put out the contact infor and then the folks that use their materials have to rate it just like the ebay community works. Community being the key word. When you have a forum, you have to be dedicated to make it a community and really work it and keep out the trolls and then make sure the members are protected. Such work as this will ensure a positive and fruitful community and any less will lead only to a high membership clanish and not productive grouping of people.

Networking is also key. Then you have to decide what factors are included in how you rate things.

No easy workings but its an easy answer. Networking and dedicated work with vision and motivation.

Less and you may want to stick to a day job.

Clintwood Virginia in Dickenson County. We are getting the Coalfield express way put through here as well as what used to be called "Skyline drive" and also a walking trail that Hillary Clinton is running the lead on. This is all too complex to explain the revenue potentials on a forum or in any short space but that being ok as well as we have a group that currently is involved in this commitment and yet I fear they will have limited resources and possibly may be looking to bring others in as well. The Development phase of this can wait for a while but its something to be considered as well. The real money is the quick investors for the mineral removal.

If any interested parties are about, I can introduce you to the current group if they are wanting to add on any more folks or looking for a backup plan. Its all moving at whirl wind speeds right now however and not sure there is a lot of time for anyone to get in unless they can execute quick decisions.

Again the phase 2 and 3 development of the properties is another issue and also ripe for investors but there will be plenty of them when the time comes as this part is more common and understood amoung you professional folks.

The more lucerative parts are less understood but we think they are covered for now.

We are in the same boat here but just the beginning of it and no one to really engineer the town around all that is going to happen and I see traffic problems galore on the horizon.

Putting in two main arteries and the growth over next five years is going to be expotential.

Our coal fields are booming like never before and they are also adding new train lines to get it out of here and an air port as well.

We are about to grow like the SF mining town days.

I dread it but figgure I have a few choices.
1. get run over
2. get out of the way
3. get in the thick of the action and make it all happen.

I am going for door 3.

We are in the worlds finest real-estate anyway and have long been over looked. 10 more years it will be a City, I will be filthy rich and I am moving on at that point. MT OR and Washington state are all sounding good about now as well as some spots in Mexico and Panama and other countries. Some place with mountains and fresh air.

Are things just booming down your way?

Welcome aboard Navydoc. I as per usual confused what all others I know does to me and called Adamstown the more know Allentown.

Things was a boom all around Adamstown my last time up and like here seemingly for no good cause.

Funny how things work. Of course here the coal business is at an all time high and I am not sure what the stimulus there was but it was a growing place.

I have known property management companies that handled both residential and commercial properties. My Bro-in-Law was President of Loomis Properties in Santa Ana CA for years and they did some management of various properties.
