Thanks Jeagan! Actually, the Seeds of Wisdom Letter will be a newsletter, whereas Gordon's Instant Fame & Fortune course will be a course, with the first lesson free.... :)

Thanks Jeagan, I'm quite excited myself with what's going on at Sowpub right now.... We're testing a few different things "behind the scenes" and bringing what works to the forefront.... I really see Sowpub as a small community, and I'm grateful for those who participate in the "community spirit" here.... :)

Yes, it's caused some troubles in different regions, I hope it's cleared up in your area though....

By the way, this is on a related topic ... Recently I found two pieces of SPYWARE in my computer.

Spyware is commercial software which continuously reports information about what you might be doing to commercial companies.... Often you might install a piece of software (or even a trial piece of software), and it secretly installs spyware. Even if you delete the original piece of software, often the spyware remains, constantly sending out information on what you're doing to certain companies....

I think this is an invasion of privacy! I'm glad I found the two pieces of spyware sitting on my machine, and removed them totally.... Here's how you can do it too.

I've used a great free program called ZoneAlarm. You can get a free version for personal use, and it's the best security program for your computer that I've come across.... It will also prevent people from hacking into your machine. You can get ZoneAlarm from www.zonelabs.com .... There's two versions, ZoneAlarm is the free one (for personal use), and ZoneAlarm Pro is the version you pay for with some added features. (They have an affiliate program, but I'm not an affiliate.... just a happy user. :) )

I'm using ZoneAlarm and it works great.... It's a wild world out there, but fortunately there are some tools at our disposal which we can use to protect ourselves. :)

Anyhow, Jeagan, thanks for your kind compliments, it means a lot to me.... I hope you find the additional info about "Spyware" useful too. :)
