My 2¢ Worth

he first day of Spring will arrive in just a couple of days — in this hemisphere anyway. It even looks as if we'll have Spring-like weather for a change.

 am glad to see it! I've had Spring fever for about a month now. I need to get outdoors. There's never much to do in the winter, at least nothing that I care to do. Thank God for the computer. Makes me wonder how I ever lived without it.

Get Rich - Doing What Others Don't!


by: Roy Primm
NicheMan.com

"The quickest way to wealth
That I've found to be true;
Is to stick out your chest
Give your best
And do what others don't like to do!"
- (NicheBrain.com)

It's been said the difference between the "haves" and the "have-nots" - can be traced back to the people who did ... and the people who did not!

When it comes to creating a money-making niche, consider using what I call the principle of yucky.

Using the principle of yucky is one of the quickest ways to make money you'll ever find. Period. No hype here.

Master this principle and I can guarantee you'll never be broke another day in your life.

In fact, if everyone would use this principle the unemployment numbers would melt like an ice cube in July. The Welfare rolls would shrink like a cheap suit, and poverty would drastically decrease.

So, what exactly is the principle of yucky? I'm glad you asked, it's simply doing what other people find disgusting, irritating, or in a word yucky.

A billionaire once said, "The quickest way to success is to do what others don't like to do." Don't laugh, most people are willing to gladly pay money to people who will do the things they find disgusting, irritating or stressful. Wouldn't you?

For example, if you had rats running through your restaurant at lunchtime would you pay someone to get rid of them? Of course, you would.

But rats aren't the only things people find disgusting or yucky. Thousands of yucky services exist that people will pay you to do. The key point here is the thing may be yucky to them, but not to you, especially if you can grow rich doing it. Believe me, money in your pocket will make it less yucky - whatever it is.

For example, take the man in Florida who has a business that makes over $100,000 a year picking up dog poop in parks. The single mother who started a business cleaning bathrooms earning over $5,000 a week. Or the husband and wife team who clears $2,000 a week bathing dogs in the clients home.

Yes, the list is endless; it's only limited by your imagination. You'd be surprised what people will pay you for, just to get out of doing it themselves. Use this attitude to make money.

You'll discover the most penny-pinching, tightwad, miser will gladly throw money at you. Why? To get out of doing something they find yucky, disgusting, irritating or stressful. Haven't you been paying attention?

That's what makes the principle of yucky so valuable my friend, especially to the alert entrepreneurial-minded person. In fact, if you are an entrepreneurial minded person $ signs should be slowly swirling around your head as you read this article.

You now have the start of a small niche business that could make you big money, very quickly and with very little risk. From a business point of view what could be better than that?

Thousands of people in your local area will gladly pay you to help them do some yucky routine stuff in their life. They're just waiting for you to offer your services to them. An added benefit if you act fast- will be litttle or no competition!

If you have an established business, you can use the principle of yucky to get an edge on your competition. You simply do what your competitors don't, can't, or won't do. Believe me your customers will take notice. Wouldn't you?

This week's TIP

Nowrap for Tables

Are your tables wrapping text and making some cells taller that others as a result? There's a very simple solution to this problem, an attribute of the <td> tag within your table. It's called nowrap and has no other value than itself. Here's how it works:

<td nowrap>

What this does is preclude text from wrapping inside the cell, but it will have the effect of stretching your tables horizontally. But if you want nice clean tables that don't have cell height variations, it's an effective method of ensuring all text stays on one line.

Your Computer Can't Keep Time


by: Stephen Bucaro
Bucaro TecHelp

A computer needs a certain amount of information to operate; for example, the date and time, the amount of memory installed, the number of drives and their configuration, and so on. In the early days of computers, either the user typed in this information each time the computer started, or it was set using DIP switches and jumpers. Today, computers store this information in a CMOS chip that uses a small battery to retain the information when the computer is shut off.

CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) is type of chip that consumes very little power; therefore, while the computer is turned off, the battery discharges very slowly. But the battery will totally discharge if you leave your computer turned off for a year or so. Even if you turn your computer on every day, the battery is designed to last only a couple of years. Occasionally a battery will fail prematurely.

Today's plug-and-play computers can detect most of the necessary settings, but if your CMOS battery is dead, your computer will not be able to retain the date and time. The computer will also lose any custom settings, for example, the boot sequence. If you set a password in CMOS, you may be locked out of the computer. If the CMOS battery does fail, you might receive the message "System Configuration Lost" when you start the computer. It would be wise to record all the CMOS settings as a precaution.

To record the CMOS settings, watch for an on-screen prompt when you first start your computer. The prompt tells you to press a key, usually the Del or F2, to enter CMOS. To enter the CMOS configuration utility, you have to press the indicated key while the message is on the screen. After the CMOS configuration screen appears, follow the instructions provided to page through all the screens and record all the settings.

If your computer loses its time setting overnight, the CMOS battery may not be holding a charge. The CMOS battery is located inside the case on the motherboard. Changing the battery is usually a job for a computer technician. In fact, a layman might not even be able to find the battery.

If you want to locate the CMOS battery in your computer, be aware that a static discharge from your hands can damage components inside the case. After taking proper precautions, open the case and look on the motherboard for a battery. If you have a diagram of your motherboard, locate the battery on the diagram first.

Different motherboards use different types of batteries. The battery may be shaped like a barrel or a coin. Some motherboards use a component that resembles a chip which contains the CMOS and the battery (made by DALLAS or Benchmarq). Batteries come in different voltages, so make sure you get an exact replacement.

Sometimes the battery is mounted in a holder. Sometimes it is soldered to the motherboard. De-soldering and re-soldering a battery is usually a job for a computer technician. An inexperienced solderer can cause a lot of damage. If you want to try to do it yourself, first practice on an obsolete circuit board. You may change your mind.

If the CMOS battery has failed because it's too old, this might be an opportunity to upgrade your motherboard. When upgrading a motherboard, the most important considerations are to make sure the new motherboard is the correct form factor for your case, and that the new motherboard has the correct bus connector slots for your expansion boards.
