Welcome to the Cooloolabusiness.com Christmas 2010 Newsletter.
We have been very busy in the lead up to Christmas and decided to publish a Christmas newsletter instead of separate newsletters for November and December.
We will be having a bit of time out over Christmas from Dec 24th through to Jan 4th. Routine work will be deferred during this time but if you have any urgent issues, feel free to contact us via phone or email.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our valued clients a very Happy Christmas. We trust that you and yours have a very happy time and we wish you a safe, joyous and happy Christmas and prosperous New Year.
We look forward to the new year and will be introducing some new exciting bonuses for our Members… Stay Tuned.

Microsoft XP
Microsoft recently ceased sales of the popular Windows XP operating system. XP was sold and installed on PCs over a period of 9 years from 2001. With Microsoft stopping development for XP, what is the future for users? Microsoft plans no further Service Packs or feature enhancements for the OS. But given the astounding number of people still using XP, Microsoft says it will provide XP security updates through April 2014. This should mean that Windows XP can be safely used for another 3 years giving you plenty of time to plan for upgrading or PC replacement (a lot changes in the computing world in 3 years).
Backlinks
Backlinks are an important factor in improving rankings for websites in search engines. We provide some backlinks to member sites through our network but ultimately, more backlinks from other sites to your site are required to improve search engine rankings. To help get some more backlinks, visit this site at www.imautomator.com and register for free and submit your website and pages into their system.
HANDY SOFTWARE
Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0
Microsoft has released its second edition of its popular security software package, Security Essentials. Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) 2.0 features a new scanning engine, integration with Windows Firewall, plus network traffic monitoring. We have been using this antivirus software on a couple of our PCs and have found it to be very good. It doesn’t use a lot of system resources like some other paid software and doesn’t cause probelms like the recent AVG issue. We recommend using Microsoft Security Essentials to protect your compter – it isn’t often we find software this good and available without charge.
TheSage 4.0.1774
TheSage English Dictionary and Thesaurus is a professional software package that integrates a complete dictionary and multifaceted thesaurus of the English language into a single and powerful language reference system. TheSage can look up words directly from almost any program (Internet Explorer, Word, Firefox, Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) and is 100% portable.

iTunes Agent is a program that allows you to synchronize your MP3 player, Playstation Portable and your Walkman using an iTunes Library interface. This program works even if you don’t own an iPod and it will synchronize your non-iPod MP3 player, your Playstation Portable and your Walkman phone with your iTunes Library.
