Opening Pages
These are not the title of a new Disney movie. Neither are these the number of our inaanaks who missed out on their presents in 2005.

To check for new emails, we normally open our browser or our email client, login and click the Get button.

Will it be nice if someone sends us an email and it will be automatically downloaded to our email client or any other email enabled device. This process is called Push Email.

Most road warriors today either carry a notebook, a PDA or a smartphone. These devices cost a lot of money so it is quite difficult for most folks to be mobile always. The most people can go is to access WAP sites using their mobile phones. Unfortunately, WAP sites are very limited and not to forget, telcos charge an arm and a leg for data access outside of their portals. I just wish that they give you an unlimited and free package during off-peak hours. This will surely encourage the masses to go online even by just browsing WAP sites.

Ask Dr. J
Question: I recently had my Epson LX300+ fixed (the main board was replaced with a new one) and it cost me a "bundle". Still it's not printing! They said it could be the printer cable, so I bought a new one, and it still doesn't print. They say it could be the printer port, but the solution to this is to replace the motherboard. Is there any other way to solve this without having to buy a new motherboard? Thanks for your help. - Dodie Nolasco.
