WELCOME to all of my new subscribers this month! I truly appreciate you! 
DRSNews Subscribers are THE BEST!

In this issue:

1) A Great Little Computer Utility I can't do without
    (Update: newer versions of Windows now include two of these)
2) The Illustrated Dictionary of Appliance Terms

Next time: Latest Refrigerator and Range Recalls

1) We're venturing a bit off-topic this issue, but if you've been reading for very long, you
know from time to time I like to let you know about computer utilities that I use every day
and that can save you a lot of time and aggravation. 'Wish I could calculate how many
hours just these 3 simple little programs save me every month! 'Hope you enjoy them as
much as I do.

The first is one I told you about a few years ago, but it continues to amaze me how much it
streamlines my online life. Especially whenever I use someone another computer that's
without it.

That's RoboForm, just my favorite utility of all time! I use it constantly, all day every day,
and if you spend much time online and never tried it, you're in for a treat!

I spent $29.95 on the pro version many years (and about 5 computers) ago, and keep it on
all my machines. I can't do without it, and you'll feel the same way once you try it, so I wanted
to share it with you.

I no longer have pages of pencil-smudged user ID's and passwords stuffed into a notebook;
they're all (500+!)  'remembered' securely by RoboForm, as well as my name, address, phone
number, etc, all filled into forms in about a second when needed! I just can't recommend this
one highly enough! Try the free trial download at:

Two other ones I wouldn't want to do without are "ShortKeys" and "Ditto", both amazing time
savers for me.

2) I'm pretty well done with this project and would love your opinion. The text portions are
finished, even though it'll always be a work in progress.

I call it a 'Dictionary of Appliance Terms', and have nearly all of the illustrations added. And
it'll be available as one downloadable pdf file when I get it 'tweaked'. That's where you come
in:

Please let me know what you think when you get a chance. Any ideas you have for
improvements, changes, more ease of use, terms you'd like to see added, etc, are welcome.
Here's what I have so far: Appliance Dictionary

There's been a demand for something like this for 'handy' folks for a while; sort of an abridged
'encyclopedia' of terms used in appliance service every day. I tend to assume that everyone
knows what I'm talking about, but it can get confusing. This project is an attempt to list common
(and not so common) words and phrases used in the profession.
