Review by Michael E. Callahan aka Dr. File Finder
CoffeeCup Spam Blocker, by CoffeeCup Software, Inc. is a spam filtering program for POP3 mail accounts that’s impressive in its simplicity. The program is very intuitive and extremely easy-to-use. That makes it perfect for both new and experienced users. The program gives you the power to monitor and filter the email from multiple accounts, which it does quietly in the background. The program comes with its own SPAM filters which you can easily add to. This segment of the program is quite impressive because it lets you filter on a variety of criteria. Filter by email address, email domain, file extension of a file attachment, words or phrases, and even by country. The program will also let you filter out all emails that use "non-Western" character sets. Very slick! And also quite effective. I was dazzled by how intuitive the program was right out of the proverbial box.
CoffeeCup Spam Blocker also helps you to protect all the emails sent by those you want to receive emails from. The program lets you import your addresses from Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, and Outlook Express. Don’t use one of those email programs? NO problem, because you can also import all your email addresses from a text file which makes it very easy and flexible! I like that. I often get emails from software authors who are not in my "friends" list and here again, no problem. Spam Blocker makes it easy to add a new email address to your list of friends. And, at the same time, it makes it just as easy to add an address to the list of emails to block. Another impressive feature gives you the ability to determine how an email gets filtered. For example, you can indicate that if any X number of keywords appear in an email then it should be marked as SPAM. And, you can do the same when you add words or phrases of your own. Excellent! CoffeeCup Spam Blocker, by CoffeeCup Software, Inc., Is a powerful program for filtering out junk email, or "spam." The program is very easy-to-use and very intuitive. You can easily add all your friends emails so they will not get filtered. Add new friends while also being able to add new things to the "blacklist." When you’ve scanned the incoming emails, you can "clear" the display, which means you only have to deal with so many emails at a time — that’s a very nice feature! I was totally impressed with how well the program works. So, if you’re looking for a program to help you filter out junk email, this may be just what you’re looking for. Give it a try.

Create your own web site without any knowledge of HTML.
Strength:
Namo Webeditor Professional 2006 is an easy-to-use program; compared with the similar tool Dreamweaver series, it is more suitable for novices to create their first website. Dreamweaver is a powerful program for professional computer staff to construct websites, that is, it is not recommended for a layman to use Dreamweaver–he may as well try Namo webeditor.
Weakness:
The stability of Namo Webeditor Professional 2006 is not very good–there are many crashes when they are editing the page. It can be seen as a deadly bug of the software because the crashes appear frequently.
Benefits
I’m interested in surfing Internet and have dreamed of being a website editor a couple years before. Now, my dream comes true but I realize that my knowledge on Web is far from a qualified editor, for I’m not good in editing web sites. When I first got to operate Dreamweaver, I was scared because there are many codes. If I delete one in template, the whole website that I created may collapse, which made me unhappy and had no idea. But for my instructor’s direction, I would have given up. You know, I’m more familiar with MS Office series than Dreamweaver, so I often made mistakes out of my habits. Isn’t there a tool for a green hand to practice constructing web sites?
Today I happened to know Namo Webeditor Professional 2006 and decided to try. The interface is familiar to me - there are many icons taking after MS Word. I was not good at CSS programming in Dreamweaver, but it seems easier to define CSS in Namo Webeditor. So, if you are interested in Internet while you do not how to start, Namo Webeditor is a pretty nice assistant.
Setup
The download file is a big “brother”; among most soft wares in my hard disc - there are about 70MB. I was surprised at the size at first, but it is also a small program compared with Dreamweaver (approximately 200MB).
The installation is straightforward, and there are two additional programs (webUtilities and WebCanvas) in the setup wizard. If you do not want to install the additional ones, just cancel the selected items. If you choose “launch Readme”;, it will automatically connect the official website and there are some guidelines. It’s a considerate design for users to learn more about the software.
It offers a shortcut to uninstall that you can remove the tool by itself.
Interface
When I first launch this tool, it left me a deep impression on the unique design. There are three choices for editing - Edit interface is a WYSIWYG one; Edit & HTML is the common one that we use in Dreamweaver that shows codes and our works; HTML is a pure code programming one and you can preview your works in “preview”;.
There are lots of icons that we have seen in MS Word, so a newbie will not be confused.
It’s more friendly and easier for beginners.
System Requirements
Namo Webeditor Professional 2006 gets well along with Windows 98 SE, 2000, ME, XP, or Vista. The web browser is an affiliated facility for checking your works - there are three default ones: IE 5.0 (or above), Firefox, and Opera. The RAM requires 128MB (256MB is preferred). These configurations can be ignored to today’s users, since the common one is 512MB or higher and most operating systems are Windows XP or Vista.
Conclusion
Namo Webeditor Professional 2006 is easier for beginners to use. Compared with Dreamweaver, it is smaller and handier. The stability, however, is the mortal blemish of Namo Webeditor. If you edit your page, do remember to save it at any time, otherwise, there might be crashes.
In short, it is a nice facility for beginners to learn how to create web sites. To many advanced users, Dreamweaver is stronger for them to meet their specific needs.

Most desktop and laptop computers sold after 2002 are USB 2.0 enabled. USB 2.0 enabled means that the computer has one or more USB-enhanced host controllers. To determine if your computer running the Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 operating system has a USB-enhanced host controller, follow these steps:
1. Start Device Manager. To do so, click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type devmgmt.msc, and then click OK.

2. In the Device Manager window, expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers node. Look for a host controller with the word “Enhanced” in the title. If you find one, your system has USB 2.0 capable ports and has the necessary host controller drivers.

3. If you do not find an enhanced host controller in step 2, expand the Other Devices section. Look for Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller. If you find this item, your system has USB 2.0 capable ports, but you need to install drivers for this host controller. If you do not find this item, your system does not have any USB 2.0 ports.

What is USB?
Starting in 1996, a few computer manufacturers started including USB support in their new machines. It wasn’t until the release of the best-selling iMac in 1998 that USB became widespread. It is expected to completely replace serial and parallel ports.
What is USB 2.0?
Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Lucent, Microsoft, NEC and Philips jointly led the initiative to develop a higher data transfer rate than the 1.1 specification to meet the bandwidth demands of developing technologies. The USB 2.0 specification was released in April 2000.
