Clients are strongly urged to refrain from using ANY service or paying ANY invoices from Domain Registry of America.
This company sends out advertisements for domain services which are designed to look like invoices. Unless you read every single word of the mailing, you could easily be fooled into paying the fake invoice, which also causes your domain to be transferred to their control. This is all despite a court decision forbidding them from engaging in deceptive practices.
The only way to make them stop once and for all is to starve them; refuse to take the bait!

I opened accounts with E*Trade some time ago, both cash and IRA. At the time I opened the IRA, there were no fees for such accounts. When informed of their intention of instituting annual fees for such accounts, I closed mine. They charged me $50 for the privilege of getting my own money back. This issue was never resolved to my satisfaction.
Now, due to bad investments in the subprime market, E*Trade teeters on the brink of bankruptcy. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of folks.
Readers are advised not to use the services of E*Trade.

Clients are advised not to buy or install Microsoft Vista, nor buy a new PC with Vista pre-installed. Our personal experience is that Vista is buggy, difficult to work with, and incompatible with a wide assortment of existing hardware and software (including older versions of Microsoft’s own software, e.g., Outlook 2000 and Money).
The only way issues like this get fixed is when people vote with their feet and their wallets. So cast your vote by refusing to accept this train wreck of an operating system.
UPDATE:
Dell is now offering a choice between Vista and XP on customized PCs. They’ve gotten the message even if Microsoft hasn’t.

R.J. Howard Computing was founded as a sole proprietorship in 1997 in San Diego, California for the purpose of providing affordable, competent web design, hardware, software and network support to the small business and non-profit communities.
In 1998 we returned to Palm Springs, California and joined the Desert Business Association (DBA) in order to better identify and serve small businesses. We also assumed responsibility for the DBA’s web site and membership database.

- Added MCP, MCSE, and MCSA certifications
