I am a Mac user but pc offers more games and online games that I can access. I’m wondering what my cost would be for a pc.

Actually, good PC hardware is not so much cheaper now - Apple narrowed the difference in price. What makes you think that Apple don’t make PC’s?

Equivalent quality might be had from IBM hardware, but it doesn’t have the same style - and your PC will be completely unable to run Mac OSX.

I looked into this last year, and to buy the gaming rig I’d be interested in would be around 1500, for a nice big iMac, the price was 1700 (with a slightly smaller graphics card).

It’s worth the little extra for MacOSX - so your internet browsing is worry free, and if ever one of them fails to boot (does that happen with OSX the way it does in Windows?) then you can always reboot and choose the other.

Remember also, with a normal PC you sit and watch BIOS booting for 20 seconds before you get to the stage where you turn on a Mac…

Can anyone possibly tell me - why would I get a thumbs down for this answer?

Don’t you think the liberals trying to stop it are being hypocritical by trying to stop free speech, which isn’t even racist any more? How can they be liberal if they are doing something that is essentially facist?

(I do not like Nick Griffin or the BNP just to let you know though).

Nick Griffin was fairly and squarely voted in by individuals in this country and therefore has as much right to stand up and have his say as all the others. His views are shared by quite a lot of people even if only in part - when the Big 3 were "bullying" him on Question Time didn’t they stop to think that a lot of people would find this distasteful and in effect make him more popular to some? Just because he dares to speak against the majority this should not be a reason to silence him and persecute him. I have to say I listened with interest to all that was said and could not really argue with his points as there was an element of truth in a lot of what he said whether people like to admit it or not - also, I think they should invite him to another Question Time stint, say in the North West or Yorkshire, and let the British audience see what people in these locations have to say - I think it would be a totally different programme than the one that was aired tonight!

At the end of the day a hell of a lot of people, who DO NOT vote for the BNP are sick to the back teeth of being told they cannot say this, cannot do that for fear of upsetting others etc, etc,political correctness is going mad and it is refreshing to listen to somebody who really doesn’t give a damn about upsetting the applecart so to speak. It is a shame that more and more people don’t do the same thing. I mean, last time I checked, we were still a democracy X

Sorry if I sound like an idiot asking this.

I want to be part of a student exchange program in England and so I have been doing some research.

The thing that I have been wondering about is how much homework do high school students get assigned?

I would prefer the answer from a current or former high school student from England, but all answers are welcome!

Thank you ahead of time
I’m in Year 10, I’m 15 years old. We’re supposed to get homework in most of our lessons, mainly English, Maths and Science.
I study Art and Design, Psychology Spanish and Religious, and I only get homework every few weeks.
At my school, when we’ve got exams, other subjects aren’t supposed to give us homework because we’re supposed to revise.
This is only what happens in my school, I’m not sure about anywhere else, I suppose all schools are different.

Hope this helps

The pitches are designed for bowlers, not for batsmen. This was seen in T20 match too, where India decided to bat first. So based on such pitches, India should select to field first because conditions play in favor of team fielding first.

Ricky Ponting is actually master of the Jedi Mind trick.

He learnt it from Michael Vaughan at Edgbasten in 2005.

"You will bat."

"Oh I think we’ll have a bat."

I need to know how to get the applications for colleges how do you get them.

Go to the website of the college you would like to apply to. Find the admissions page, and there should be a link to either an online application, or a print out of their paper application.

I have done taxes for the past 2 years, however I have worked for H&R Block. I have prepared taxes seperately but just used the free online software. I am now opening my own mobile tax service and would like to know which professional software is the best and inexpensive? I have looked up Drake and others but everything is about $1000 i was hoping to spend about $200-$400 on the software. Can someone out there please help me find the best software for my budget.

H/R has a program on the shelves called
2nd Story Software also has one called Tax Act, I have used both and prefer this one
the other major ones, ie Drake etc are quite expensive but very good, if you have a lot of clients and need help, they are excellent in response

I’ve been working on a story for a while, and it’s about 26 full pages (8×11) long. I wanted to make a website on freewebs or something and maybe post a few chapters, but you know someone could steal it or say it’s theirs. Is there any way to makeshift a copyright?

I heard something about mailing a manuscript to yourself and not opening it is the poor man’s copyright.

I keep on stopping. Writing a diary entry, drawing a picture, writing a new chapter to my story…

I need serious tips, man. I’m up to my neck in homework.

Do your work in a quiet environment, only have your homework and nothing else there. Turn off your computer, phone, and make sure your desk is completely empty of everything.

If that is not possible, then your other suggestion in to go to a library. There is nothing there that will distract you.

I have recently opened an inbound tour agency in India, please let me know how can I improve my marketing of tours package at out of India? How can get more clients from all over world for my tour agency?

9 Inexpensive and Effective Ways To Find More Group Business:

If you want to increase the number of motorcoach tours at your museum, you need to find the groups most likely to book with you. Capitalize on the resources you already have to build a good list of leads. Here are nine of those resources:

1. The list of groups that have visited your site in the past

Tour operators and groups who have already booked with you are natural candidates for more reservations in the future. Keeping good group tour records — including contact names, addresses, and phone and fax numbers — is critical for continued marketing efforts.

2. Phone inquiries that come into your museum

Do you keep a log of all inquiries about group tours, including full contact information? You should. Even if people who call don’t end up booking a tour now, it doesn’t mean that they won’t in the future.

3. Lobby cards, visit evaluation forms and group tour flyers

Individual visitors can be an excellent source of group leads. In fact, if they have enjoyed their visit, they’re likely to be your most enthusiastic sales force. Take advantage of that by asking for their help. Have group tour flyers prominently displayed with a headline that says, " If you enjoyed your visit to the Yourname Museum, the groups you belong to will, too!" And on your lobby cards or visit evaluation forms, ask visitors if they know of any groups that would be interested in hearing about your group tours. Include space to fill in the group name and contact information.

4. Your associate group, board, staff and volunteers

It’s easy to overlook the obvious. But before these people can help you build your motorcoach trade, they need to know that you want to build it. Tell them, and ask for their assistance.

Photocopy some group referral forms and pass them out at meetings, along with group tour flyers. Ask everyone to suggest a group tour to at least one group they belong to or know of, and ask them to fill out a form with contact information for that group. You might even consider running a contest to see who can generate the most bookings in three months. There’s nothing like a little competition to get things rolling!

5. Your newsletter

This is a great vehicle to use to let members and others know that you’re actively seeking group business. Consider adding a "group news" column to keep readers apprised of your progress and new tour offerings. If you list names of groups who have recently visited, send a copy of the issue to those group leaders. Highlight the name of their group and attach a note saying, "Thanks for visiting. We hope to see you again soon."

6. A group tour page on your website

Devote a complete page of your website to group tour promotion. Instead of simply mentioning that you offer group rates, write a tantalizing description of the kinds of experiences available to groups and what your group tours include. For example, is there some form of authentic entertainment you can offer? Can you provide them with tea on the porch or a candlelight tour? Great. Tell them about it. Also show them how they can turn a visit to your museum into an entire day trip to your area. List some popular nearby attractions, shopping spots and restaurants. Groups are always looking for new and different tour ideas, so the more creative you are, the better.

7. Inquiries generated from special interest websites that link to yours

Whatever type of object your collection is strong in, there are groups of hobbyists out there who collect, study, build, create or paint it. Many of them probably already provide a link to your website from theirs. If not, do some Web searches, find compatible special interest sites, and e-mail their webmasters. Ask them to consider linking to you. Include a brief description of your collection and a sentence like, "Your visitors may also be interested to know that we offer special in-depth tours to collector/genealogy/quilting/whatever groups. They can e-mail groups@tyourmuseum.org for more information."

Such a communication may not only generate a link, but also a write-up about your tours on their website or in their ezine. (To find out who is currently linking to you, go to AltaVista and type link:www.yourdomainname.org into the search box. The list of results that comes up will be websites that link to yours.)

8. Lists of tour operators who have requested information from your local convention and visitors bureau, regional tourism promotion agency, or state office of tourism

If you receive lists like this, are you using them to your best advantage? You aren’t if your typical response is to stick a couple of brochures in an envelope, mail it off, and do nothing more. Lists like these require telephone contact — and the sooner the better. Before you mail anything, make a brief call to each name on the list that looks like an appropriate lead. These aren’t tough phone calls to make because the recipients have already expressed an interest in your city. The purpose of your call is simply to thank them for that interest, to ask if they have any further questions about the area, and to offer to send them your group tour materials. You’ll be able to tell from the course of the conversation whether or not they’re really potential customers. If they are, add their name and contact information to your permanent leads list or database after you mail the brochures. Even if they don’t book now, they may in the future.

9. Inquiries resulting from press releases sent to group tour industry trade magazines

Send press releases to these publications several months before your major special events, and whenever you have a dazzling new group tour or tour package to offer. Links to major trade publications can be found in our Links Library. To familiarize yourself with each magazine and its editorial style, request a media kit and sample copy. If submission guidelines and deadlines aren’t listed on the website, call the publication and request that information. One last tip: Subscribing to one or two trade periodicals is a great way to learn more about the group market and how you can best serve it.

hope this helps!
cheers!!
