If you
are not using the resources that are on the Internet, you are
missing a key to being successful in the music industry.
Customers, more and more, are getting their music from the
Internet and fewer people are going to a "brick and mortar"
stores. Advice about the quality of your tunes, how to
record and how to market your music is just a few "clicks"
away. Training courses in music industry techniques,
such as those available through RIDonline™, can really
help you launch your music industry career. It is
predicted that in a few short years a majority of the
music marketing and much of the available training will be done via
the "web." |

But there
is a real dark side to the Internet.
Worms and malicious virus programs can infect and render your
computer useless. Other infections that you can pickup
include "Trojan Horses" which can steal your identity.
Con artists, ready to rip you off, lurk in the dark corners of
cyberspace and send out tons of "spam" that try to trick you
into being ripped off or wiped out. It becomes real necessary
to know the information highway's road hazards and how to avoid them |

Common Sense Security |
|
As a person living in
the 21st century, we have to include security measures to
function normally in life. If we have to go into a
downtown urban area for a court date or to register our
company at the clerk's office, we do it. So its in a
seedy area - we take a few precautions and we take care of our
business. It seems that precautions are getting to be
more and more a way of life and are best used in any area,
seedy or not. |

Some common sense approaches
that can get us safely back and forth
though the hazards are well known to most of us. We keep
the windows up and the doors locked as we travel though the
"bad" part of town. If we bring someone along (rather
than traveling alone) and stick to the main thoroughfares, our
safe travel is all but completely assured. If a
slick-looking stranger tries to get us to pull in the alley
for some "bargain watches," we ignore and keep on the main
road to our destination. |
|
There are also common sense
approaches for traveling the Internet to remain safe. We get a
"firewall" and "spam filter" to protect us from attacks.
We travel with our buddies when we travel the web - our
antivirus and anti-malware programs that can search any
destroy anything that gets through our locked Internet door.
When someone we don't know offers us an unbelievable bargain
if we just "click here," we don't go down that risky Internet
alley. I personally recommend a very well traveled
highway called AOL to those new to the Internet; they do a
great job of blocking you from and warning of the hazards in
the communication highway we call the net.

In this
issue, Daniel gives solutions to a common problem that new and
old computer users often encounter:
"My computer is SO SLOW"

common complaint. A person buys a computer,
begins using it, and all of a sudden it runs like a car with a broken cylinder.
