Translations: facile il modo
----------------------------
Have you ever been looking for a piece of information only to find
the answer to your question is in a different language? Have you ever
wanted to automatically translate your own webpage into another language?
There are easy tools to do this on the Internet, quickly and easily.
One such tool is called Babel Fish (run by Altavista) is available at:
http://world.altavista.com/
Babel Fish translates to languages such as French, Spanish, and
German for both text you type in and the contents of an entire website
and back again. Although this service is not perfect, it can typically
get you close enough so that the parties can understand the general idea
being communicated.
For an example, try translating KwikLink's web page by going to:

Lightning: The Modem Killer
---------------------------
During a lightning storm, it is traditional for households to unplug
valuable electronic equipment to prevent them from being damaged by
sudden electrical surges. One connection that is frequently forgotten
is the phone line plugged into your computer. Since lightning can hit
the phone lines almost as easily as power lines, this puts your computer
equipment in danger of being damaged by these surges.
So, remember - don't forget about power surges through the phone lines
that might potentially damage your computer.
Focus: Does A Virus Love You?
-----------------------------
As many Internet users are aware, last Thursday a scripting "virus"
spread through the Internet affecting systems using Microsoft Outlook
as a mail reader or any other Windows systems where the individual
explicitly executed the message's attachment. Normally, it is not easy
to be infected with a virus by simply opening a message - but this one
effectively "tricks" Outlook into automatically loading it when the message
it opens meaning that the "I LOVE YOU" macro virus was difficult to avoid
for many individuals and businesses.
These sorts of incidents make it more and more important to ensure that
you have proper virus protection on your computer and that the virus
scanner is updated regularly from the net. To make matters easier,
Computer Associates virus scanner InnoculateIT is free to home users.
Virus scanners and updates can be downloaded off of the KwikLink
anti-virus information page at:
http://personal.klis.com/virus/
If you have any questions concerning virus protection for your system,
please contact us at support@klis.com
KwikLink is always looking for comments or suggestions on how we can
improve our services for all of our users. If you have any
suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact us at sales@klis.com,
