Hello to all my dear subscribers,


Here's another issue, packed with some great free- and 
shareware tips, that I'm sure you'll love.

But let me start with some good news!

If you're thinking about creating or building your own web 
site, you'll need to know about HTML-code. 

My friend, John Gilson, from Brantford Educational Services 
sells an excellent HTML-course on the Internet, and he has 
agreed to GIVE AWAY the first 21 Lessons to you for FREE! 

John's lessons are designed to teach you all you need to 
know to code in HTML, even without having any notion of 
programming. John used nice images and simple text to 
explain all the basics of HTML, so you won't get lost. 

Hey, even I didn't, and I've never had computer lessons :-)

You can access John's FREE Lessons via this special link:
http://aaasoftware-ezine.com/htmlcourse.htm 

Remember, working long hours at the computer can be bad
for your health, so don't forget to take abreak now and then, 
okay? 

I don't want to loose you yet :-)

Oh, before you go, I'd like to invite you to take a moment and 
participate in my new Shareware Poll. It only takes a minute, 
and you can tell the world if you register the shareware you 
use... or not :-)

Just click the link below, and scroll to the end of the page:

Nice to have you all here again, and happy downloading!
