Viewing The View..
Glancing out, towards the horizon, let us see what we can see…
Permission Pass Letter?
Three scammers scamming,
Two exclamation points,
ONE golden ATM card.
I also received a very REAL-looking notice from Amazon telling me my 42″ HDTV had shipped to an address in Kentucky.
Only.. I didn’t order a TV.. and live several states away from Kentucky..
And every hyperlink pointed to a URL (web address) ending in dot ru (“.ru”)
Russia.
(I hear that’s where the cyber mafia lives.)
Wonder what would have happened had I clicked?
Similarly…
paperclip, paperclip, catch me a fool…

PS: Yes. That “Dearest one” was the same old form we’ve come to know and love over the last 20 years..

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.

I had heard about the CyberLink PhotoDirector 2011 (Win) for free yesterday but since I loath anything CyberLink does because it slows down your PC and takes it over..I didn’t post it. IIRC it kept crashing(unstable) my PC and was soooo slow even with 4Gs of ram. That goes for their Video software also. Maybe others have had better luck with it..but I try to avoid CyberLink anything.
People are posting this..so here it is Get CyberLink PhotoDirector 2011 (Win) for free | The Cheapskate – CNET News It’s normally $ 100.00.
However I do have this ..Not Free..But $ 9.99 versus $49.98 seems reasonable.

delenn13,
I understand swords & sorcery remains a popular genre. (But I hung up my 20-sided dice long ago.)
As always, I appreciate your taking the time to share with us. (The only “Cyberlink” I have ever run into, in my limited computer experience, has been the burning “studio” that OEMs would helpfully add for us.. so no comment there.)
For those interested, here is CNET’s full write-up: http://download.cnet.com/8301-2007_4-57515576-12/exclusive-new-cyberlink-photo-and-video-tools/
