Any purchases you make through the following links will contribute just
a little bit to the CompuSmile / Scott Quinby cause, at no extra cost to
you! Everything about your shopping experience will be the same: the deals,
the prices, the shipping, etc.
If the banners don't fully load at first, refreshing the page ought to
rectify that.
First off, one particular site I'm parital to:
"Vested Interests"
 |
|
| Herbaria |
|
| You'll love this soap! All natural and handmade
in Kirkwood, MO. A great gift for anyone. |

|
And now all things tech-related:
Dell Computers (my personal preference)
 |
 |
| Dell Small Business |
Dell Home / Home Office |
| Typically slightly better deals than the Home
/ Home Office store |
Good for comparing prices against the Small
Business store |
Computer Hardware
 |
  |
| ComputerGeeks.com |
4AllMemory.com |
| Great prices on closeout-style items, but
make sure what you buy is "new" rather than "refurbished" |
The best place to get RAM; guaranteed to work
with your system, or they'll replace it for free; good prices; free shipping.
Located right here in St. Louis, too. |
Computer Software
 |
 |
Webroot Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus
($60 for a 3-year subscription for 1 PC;
other deals available by phone) |
Content Watch's Net Nanny |
The security package I recommend to all
my customers, and the one I use myself
- The flat-out strongest anti-spyware protection
- Solid anti-virus protection
- Scans for both spyware and viruses at the same time
- Unobtrusive: doesn't bombard you with cryptic "do you want to
allow program ABC to do XYZ?" messages
- Doesn't slow down your system like Norton, McAfee, and Trend Micro
- Works with both XP and Vista
- Very inexpensive:
$60 for 3 years on 1 PC ($20/yr/PC)
(through the link above, make sure to add two years to the initial
one-year subscription)
- Better deals available for multiple computers by calling them at
866-612-4268:
$90 for 3 years on 3 PCs ($10/yr/PC)
$100 for 3 years on 5 PCs ($7/yr/PC)
(with both deals, you can share among friends and family members)
|
My recommended parental control software
- Reasonably priced for multiple-PC households:
$40/yr for 1 PC
$20/yr for each extra PC
- Ability to block access by activity (e.g., web surfing vs. IM-ing),
by web site category (e.g., pornographic, hate/violence, drugs, gambling),
by specific web site (e.g., youtube, facebook), or by time of day
- Web-based management allows for control over kids' roaming laptops
- Profiles allow different kids in the same household to have different
access rights
- Reporting tells you what your kids have been doing online
- Very difficult to circumvent, especially compared to competing products

Online Services
 |
 |
| GoToMyPC.com |
Alentus.net |
| If you ever have the need to work on your
home computer when you're away from it, this service lets you sit down
at any Internet-connected PC and via "remote control" use your
home PC as if you were sitting right in front of it. What you'll see on-screen
is your actual home computer screen, and what you do with it will actually
be happening on your home computer. Try it for free through the link above. |
This is my favorite Microsoft-based web hosting
service. You'll likely never use this link; rather, it's for me to use
when I sign up new clients! |
Thank You!
To those of you who have made a point of shopping through the
links above, thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
