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.
Before moving on, please take a moment to bookmark this page for
future easy access.
First off, one particular site I'm parital to:
"Vested Interests"
You'll love this soap! All natural and handmade in Kirkwood,
MO. A great gift for anyone. Actually, I won't make a cent on any of
these purchases; I just like the company and its products.
The Big Kahuna: iTunes
For all of you who buy stuff from the iTunes store on a regular basis,
this is likely the easiest and best way to pass your goodwill my way.
Just click on the link below, and iTunes will open (try it now to see
for yourself!). I'll get credit for any purchase you make at that point.
Come back to this page to re-launch iTunes before making future purchases,
and I'll be forever grateful!

Orbitz |
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
 |
  |
| NewEgg.com |
TigerDirect.com |
| Consistently the best deals on retail hardware,
software, and other electronics, often offering rebates as well. |
Just like NewEgg.com. Shop between the two,
and you can't go wrong. |
 |
 |
| 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 |
Mozy.com |
| 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. |
Unlimited secure online data backup for $4.95/month.
And the software is so much easier to use than similar services'. They also offer
a free 2GB-limit service that is enough for many people's needs. |
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!
