National Dial-up now available

 

      Do you travel?  During the three months that you’re in Arizona, you can now keep your TurboNet dial-up service.  Stop by before you leave for the national dialer CD.  There’s no extra charge, no service fee, and you’ll have a local number to dial.  We cover nearly all of the U.S. and parts of Canada.  Check http://www.turbonet.com/accessnumbers/accessnumbers.aspx for numbers.

 

      Does your aunt live in Houston?  She can now have TurboNet Internet service every day.  We serve Lewiston, Spokane, Colfax, and 124,000 other cities and towns across the country.  Toll-free, real-person support, from the same people you talk to – us.  Please recommend us to your friends.  Your satisfaction with our service is our best advertising!  

 

      Each person who signs up on your recommendation will get a free month of service, and you’ll get a free month as well.  Be sure they mention your name so we can give credit to both of you.

 

Killing the Common Cold

 

      If you are coming down with a cold, try this:  Sleep with a stocking cap pulled down to the tip of your nose.  In fifteen or twenty minutes your sinuses will clear and you’ll be able to breathe.  If you do this for a couple of nights, and avoid chills in the daytime, your cold should be gone or much better.  The common cold (rhinovirus) is a temperature-sensitive virus which prefers temperatures slightly below body temp.  When you raise the temperature where it lives – in the nose and sinuses and maybe the throat – the body’s defenses take care of it.  If you get overheated, pull an arm or leg out from under the covers, don’t uncover your nose.

 

Cactus TurboNet Anti-Spam System

 

      Are you getting lots of emails with [Spam] in the subject line?  Would you rather not be getting these messages at all?  Our mail server can shunt those messages into a special Spam folder which does not go to your email inbox. 

      To set it up, go to http://www.CactusComputer.com and click the link to My Account. 

1.  Click on Spam Folder.  Log in (your username is the first part of your email address).  Click the box in front of Use Spam Folder, then Save Settings. 

2.  To enter email addresses in the White List (people whose emails NEVER go into the Spam folder) click on White List.  Note that a few emailing lists don’t tell you their real email address.  To get it, look at the X-Sender field in the full headers of the message.

3.  For the first month or so, you'll want to check your Spam folder occasionally.  If email that you really want ends up in the Spam folder, add the sender's email address to your White List.  Email in the Spam folder is kept for three days, then deleted.  To view the Spam folder, use the Web Email at http://mail.turbonet.com/mail.  Log in, and click the Folders menu at the top or bottom of the page.  Click the Spam folder.  (Hint:  I delete the spam in the folder as I look at it, so I don't have to look at it again)
