Electronic Mail NotesE-mail or electronic mail - transmission of messages via a computer network - local area network or the Internet (Lance and Reeder 36-56). Simple text and/or attachments.

Create, send, receive, forward, store, print, and delete e-mail messages. Mail notification alert available on most software.

Message mailbox - storage location on the computer that connects you to the local area network or the Internet. The server is called a mail server. E-mail program normally supplied by Internet service providers and online services.

For efficiency, e-mail software allows one message to be sent to a distribution list. Software copies the message and sends it to each person on the distribution list (Shelly Cashman Series® Microsoft Word 2002 Project 2). Site an example.

Like letters, you must address an e-mail message, and to receive e-mail, someone must have your e-mail address. Internet e-mail address - combination of user name and a domain name.

User-ID - unique combination of characters - different from other user names in the same domain. Example - Henry Jones on scsite.com - HJones, HenryJones, or H_Jones.

At-sign (@) - separates user name from domain - H_Jones@scsite.com or HJones@scsite.com. Signature - attached automatically to outgoing messages - your name, your company, favorite quotation. Today, e-mail quickly is becoming a primary communication method for both personal and business use (footnote - Holloway says that by 2005 over half of all commerce will be conducted using e-mail and the Internet).

FIGURE W4A - 1

I am making a loan request based on a detailed financial projection, which demonstrates that by combining $85,000 of my own assets with a loan of $155,000, I can open a computer store and offer consulting services. I will consider securing the loan using the equity in my home as collateral. The loan will allow me to hire a full-time salesperson, a full-time technician, and two part-time salespeople and technicians.

My conservative estimate of revenue and cash flow indicates that I will make a profit after three months and will become self-sustaining after six months. I currently have two small business contracts for supplying 30 computers, and I expect to have a third proposal approved within the next three weeks. Within one year, I expect to double my sales and technical staff to meet growing demand.

Elm Park Village Computer Center will offer a wide variety of services to its customers.

Elm Park Village Computer Center will be conveniently located for both the home and business computer user. We look forward to being part of the growing community of Elm Park Village.

Since CES covers the entire technology gadget world, cell phones have to compete with MP3 players, televisions, and computers just to get noticed. And because most cell phone manufacturers and carriers save their biggest announcements for the annual Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) trade show held every spring, CES can be somewhat quiet as far as mobiles are concerned. That's not to say there's no news to report, but the bigger announcements concerned upgrades or refinements to existing models or services rather than entirely new handsets. Of course, Samsung introduced a few new phones, but even the new Palm Treo 700w is built on an existing product. Yet, of what we did see, high-speed data, most notably in the Samsung ZX20, and music, most notably in the Motorola Rokr E2, were major themes.

3G on the riseAfter years of lagging behind Europe and Asia, the United States now has serviceable 3G networks and a solid choice of compatible handsets--but only for CDMA carriers. It all started at CES 2005, when Verizon Wireless announced its 3G EV-DO network and accompanying V Cast multimedia service. As expected, Sprint was second to market when it activated its EV-DO network last November, but we figured in Las Vegas, we'd see some additional 3G news from Cingular; last month, the carrier announced a 16-city HSDPA network for laptop users but not for cell phones. Despite our predictions, however, Cingular was decidedly quiet at CES. Instead, the 3G came from Samsung and LG, both of which announced new phones for high-speed GSM networks.

Samsung's ZX20, which clinched the Best of CES award for the cell phone category, will run on 3.5G HSDPA networks and provide data speeds of 1.8Mbps. That's a far cry from the poky 56Kbps download speeds available on most current cell phones. For slightly slower (but still 3G) UMTS networks, Samsung announced the ZX10, and LG announced its CU320. Of course, you're probably wondering just when we'll actually see these devices in stores. According to our best information, Cingular will make the LG CU320 and the Samsung ZX20 available (on a UMTS basis) in the next few weeks. The HSDPA phone will go live in the second quarter, and it will extend to most major markets by the end of the year.

Back on the CDMA front, Samsung announced the EV-DO Samsung a930, and UTStarcom gave us a peek at the CDM8945.

Music on your phoneAlthough it was scooped last November when Sprint unveiled its Music Store, Verizon fought back at CES with a flashy event at the Hard Rock

Hotel, where the carrier announced V Cast Music. As with Sprint, you can download songs directly to your cell phone, but unlike with Sprint, songs will go to your handset and your PC if you decide to download the songs over the air to your phone. The dual downloads mean songs can be transferred back and forth, yet another key differentiator from Sprint. Downloads to your computer are 99 cents each (hello iTunes), while songs downloaded over the air to your phone are $1.99 each. While cheaper than Sprint, wireless downloads still will impact your wallet significantly, but there is a way out. Verizon readily admitted that you can first download songs to your PC at 99 cents each, then load them on to your phone with a USB cable, thus saving $1 in the process.

Verizon's Music Store, which is based on Windows, will launch January 16 on the LG VX8100. Customers will need to bring in their VX8100 to a Verizon store for an upgrade. Yet, there's been word of a rather disturbing development in the past few days. According to Phonescoop.com, the upgrade disables the playback of any preexisting MP3s saved to the memory card. We don't like the sound of that at all. Beyond the VX8100, additional phones that should support the Music Store include the Samsung a930 and the UTStarcom CDM8945.

Not to be outdone, Motorola announced the Rokr E2, an update to its mediocre Rokr E1 iTunes phone. The new and much improved Rokr E2 corrects some of its predecessor's flaws by allowing for music listening through Bluetooth headsets, increasing the song memory above the paltry 100 tracks, adding an FM radio, and boosting the camera resolution to 1.3 megapixels. The design is still a bit boring, but this time, there's a version in black. Also, Sony Ericsson announced a new Walkman phone, the W810i.
