Hidden Powers
Basic Computer Skills - Privacy with E-mails
by Pete Everett
Spam senders love to have addresses floating across the internet. They’ll grab them,
add commercial messages, and send to the owners.
To maintain PRIVACY of e-mail addresses:
when forwarding e-mails, delete all previous e-mail addresses.
whenever possible enter all multi-addresses in the BCC section
(and no one in the TO or CC sections.)
In Outlook, BCC normally follows the TO and CC sections.
In Outlook Express, to add BCC, click on View > all headers.
However, you may find different sending sites differ:
AOL- use the CC section: (e-mail 1, e-mail 2, e-mail 3, etc.)
Note: must have parentheses ( enclose the listings ) and commas, separate.
Just a reminder . . . Never open e-mails from strangers.

How To Avoid Cons That
Can Lead To Identity Theft
by Walter Mossberg
When most people think about Internet security problems, they focus on viruses and spyware —
technological attacks that can usually be mitigated by technological defenses. But the most insidious
Internet security problems today rely on human gullibility, not tricky software. While technological
defenses can help you fend off these newer types of attacks, your best weapons against them are common
sense, alertness, and careful email and Web-surfing practices. Read more here:

Web Site of the Week
Have you ever thought about re-visiting sites that no longer exist? Would you like to travel back in time
to see what a favorite looked like "way back when"? Thanks to a generous grant from the Mellon Foundation,
Internet Archive completed a 2 billion page web crawl in 2007. This is the largest web crawl attempted
by Internet Archive. The project was designed to take a global snapshot of the Web.
Browse through 85 billion web pages archived from 1996 to a few months ago. To start surfing the Wayback,
type in the web address of a site or page where you would like to start, and press enter. Then select
from the archived dates available. The resulting pages point to other archived pages at as close a
date as possible. Click here: http://www.archive.org/web/web.php
Past issues of Weekly News have been stored in the Archives page to the left.
