Dear Subscribers,
Welcome again to another issue of AAA-Software E-zine.
I don't know about you, but have you ever tried to search
and download a DVD movie from the Internet?
Don't even bother trying, because all you'll get are tons of
annoying pop-up banners, telling you to click here and there,
anywhere, except on a DVD movie :-)
However, I recently discovered a new tutorial that tells you
"how" and "where" to download DVD movies in DivX format.
(DivX is a compression technology. It can make a full DVD
movie downloadable. DivX does what MP3's did for audio,
it's just working on video.)
For the price of 1 DVD, you can download every DivX Movie
on the Internet for FREE!
Try it, and in no time you will be locating all the movies you
want! You may never have to purchase a DVD movie again...
and you don't need a DVD player, you'll view them right from
your own desktop!
It's so simple to understand, even a teenager can do it.
More about this fascinating tutorial at:

(This is for Windows users only, sorry Mac!)
*** WARNING! ***
Whether you are on Mac or Windows, if you use Microsoft
Word, there has been a nasty problem discovered involving
RTF templates and macros.
If you use them, you better go check if it applies to you.
There is a patch available at:
