Welcome to the April 2006 Actrix customer newsletter

Adios, Amigos

Well, last month it was the receptionist who was leaving; This month it's me. After six and a half years at Actrix I've decided to take on some some challenges I've been thinking about for a while now. 31 March is my last day. I'll stay on as editor of the monthly newsletter, but the project management side of the operations role will be taken on by Pete Cranston who has distinguished himself so ably as Support Supervisor over the last year or so.

Without getting too gushy, I would like to take a moment to write about how I am truly saddened to be leaving such a great company and a wonderful bunch of work mates. I've worked in a number of environments, but never in one with such a family atmosphere, or with such a human heart. I'm proud to have been part of Actrix!

I've also made a lot of friends amongst customers over the years, and it's been a privilege to have that interaction as part of my job. I hope that can continue at least in e-mail, and the fact that I'm staying on as editor is something for which I'm really thankful.

Anyway, I hope there is something for you this month. If you've been hanging out for news of better broadband plans, this is the newsletter for you!

Better broadband at Actrix 

You better, you better, you bet!

That's right. As of 2 April, Actrix will be offering new broadband plans. There will be a number of changes and we'll cover a few of those off below, but the upshot of it all will be faster plans at lower cost, and an even greater range of choices. Especially good news for business customers is that their prices will also tumble to match the new low residential rates.

Actrix is committed to giving you choice from a wide range of product offerings to ensure you get the plan that most suits your wishes. Our plans are also unique in that we offer a daily cap rather than a monthly cap. This means that if you have a period where you download your daily quota all at once, you're only restricted to a lower speed until 2 a.m. the next morning, instead of until the end of the month.

The table below summarises the plans available from 2 April. As you can see, you can choose from a variety of speeds and daily caps, depending on what you think you will most likely need. More information about the plans in general is included below the chart.

Spoiled for choice?

There are a number of plan options available as you can see, and for the same price sometimes you could get either more speed or more of a download allowance. If you want broadband, but you're not sure what plan is best for you, feel free to call our help desk after 2 April. If you tell our helpful staff about how you tend to use the Internet, they'll happily advise you about which plan will suit you best.

People who use the Internet for e-mail and a little surfing each day won't need a big cap, and should probably think most about what speed they want. If you're into big downloads, you may want to weigh off how much daily data you need against speed and price. If you send lots of big files as well as receive them, you may want to consider the 3.5Mb plan with the 512kb upload speed feature. Unfortunately, because of restrictions placed on its network by Telecom, the 512 upload speed is only available with the 3.5Mb plan.

More information

1. No, it's not a misprint. The 256Kbps/128Kbps plan costs just $27.95/month if you pay by credit card or direct debit.
2. The prices in the table above apply to customers who also take Actrix Tolls. Margins have been kept to a minimum to keep the plans as affordable as we can make them. By also bringing us your tolls, you help make the low prices possible. We do not have a minimum monthly requirement for tolls spend, so you still get the low price, even if you make no toll calls. If you don't wish to move to Actrix Tolls, the monthly price increases by $10.00.
3. Please note that the tolls requirement applies to business customers as well as residential customers. Existing CyberJet Biz customers can choose whether they want to move to Actrix Tolls, or whether they'd prefer to pay the $10 monthly levy and keep their tolls elsewhere. Either way, they're still going to be better off under the new plans.
4. The 1Mb plans will cease at some point in the near future. Customers on the existing 1Mb/700MB plan ($54.95) will be offered the 2Mb 700MB for the same price ($54.95) but new customers will not be eligible for the 1Mb plans.
5. At this point we will not be taking pre-orders. We will start taking sign-ups on or around the 2nd of April.
6. Existing CyberJet customers will have the option to change to the new plans when everything is in place and will receive an e-mail describing how the changes effect them and how to go about changing plans.
7. If a customer exceeds the daily traffic allowance they will be rate limited to 64Kb until 2 a.m. This is the same on all new plans. There is currently no option to remain at full speed and pay excess usage charges. 
8. Other details such as the modems, six month contract, traffic limit reset time etc will not be changed at this stage.
9. Customers requiring a fixed IP address will be charged an additional $9.95/month. If you're not sure what an IP address is or whether you might need one, then you probably don't need one and shouldn't worry about it.

Free software online 

From games and guitar tuners to word processors and accounting packages. If you want to try new software, you can probably download what you need for free online.

The Internet was first developed on the basis of an enthusiasm for freedom and co-operation. There would be no world-wide-web without a corresponding world-wide-willingness to link servers and share information simply for its own sake. But it didn’t take software developers long to realise that it was exactly that aspect of the Internet that provided a ready-made distribution network for their products. By harnessing that spirit of sharing and freedom, these developers could bypass the need for “brick and mortar” storefronts and five-figure advertising budgets. The concept of shareware was born.

Shareware, Freeware, Crippleware?

The collective term “shareware” really refers to a distribution method, rather than to anything peculiar to any software. As the name implies, it’s designed to be downloaded and shared. That’s great for us consumers, but it doesn’t necessarily mean we never have to pay.

In some cases, shareware programs will simply cease to work after a set evaluation period unless you buy. This is known as crippleware. In other cases the software will continue to work, but you will only have access to its most basic functions. This is often referred to as demoware. In order to get the premium functions, you’ll need to pay for an update that will unlock them.

Freeware refers to fully-functioning programs which you can use forever for nothing. Usually, the developer will continue to hold copyright which means you can’t modify the program or on-sell it, but you do get free use, and the developer gets product awareness, reputation, and/or the ability to advertise to you through some built in display function.

Benefits and Dangers of Shareware

The benefits of the shareware system are reasonably obvious. Developers can market and distribute their products all around the world with relative ease, and the more people that use their product, the more they can charge for any advertising that comes with it. Consumers benefit because they can try before they buy, seeing which of the many programs on offer best meets their needs.

Not all shareware is benign, though. One other way a developer has to make money is to bundle spyware into the product’s set-up files. Marketing companies will pay top dollar to have their program stealthily installed at the same time so that it can report home about the user’s online habits. Developers would rather not do this, especially if they value their reputation, but for some, the temptation and monetary rewards are just too good to refuse.

Some of the free stuff you can download is downright malicious and will install auto-diallers on your machine to hijack your dialup connection and get you dialling-up overseas at premium rates. Some will contain viruses or trojans to open up holes in your security that a hacker can exploit. You should download from reputable sites only. If you’re unsure about a product on offer, enter it into Google, and see if there is anything negative written on the web about it.

Free Software Sites

Tucows (www.tucows.com): Tucows (an acronym for “The Ultimate Collection of Winsock Software”) has a good reputation and is probably the largest and most well-known site for the dissemination of shareware. Over 40,000 software programs are available in easily searched categories. Programs include games, business and accounting tools, design tools - pretty much anything and everything. The programs are tested and reviewed and each receives a rating of one to five cows. Information about the trial periods and eventual costs of each product are provided beforehand.

Another reliable source for shareware is www.download.com. At sites like these you are more likely to find a worthwhile, safe product that will suit your needs.

Free Browsers

Boutique browsers such as Opera (www.opera.com) and Firefox (www.getfirefox.com ) have been standout champions of the shareware method. Each has positioned itself as a faster, more functional and more secure alternative to the incumbent Internet Explorer. At first Opera made money from an advertising pane in one corner, which rotated advertisements to users. For a payment of about $30US, the adverts would disappear. Free versions of Opera now come without the advertising, and today, both products earn revenue from companies such as Amazon, eBay and Google, by building search features directly into their tool bars.

NZ Shareware Success Story

Christchurch man Nick Bolton became so frustrated with Spam that in 2001 he spent $25,000 of his own money developing his anti-spam tool MailWasher and released it online for free. All he did was put a banner at the top of the program introducing himself (and his cat, Jean-Pierre) and asked for voluntary donations. Around 10 percent of grateful users made donations earning him over $3 million per year by 2003. Even with the rising Kiwi dollar (most purchasers are overseas) Bolton says that he’s still “doing a nice seven figures each year.” His company, Firetrust, now employs 23 people and has offices in both Christchurch and Texas.

The free version of Mailwasher allows you to check your e-mail headers before you download which means you can delete spam and other undesirable stuff safely before it reaches you. You can upgrade to a paid version that has extra features if you like (see www.mailwasher.net).

Games

If you’re into shoot-em-ups and fantasy, and you’re wondering how to get more guts and glory out of your computer, there’s a fair bit of free stuff online to get you started. Demos for many of the latest popular games can be downloaded free, but these will often be limited to the lowest levels, and will be missing some features. You generally won’t be able to connect to international servers and play against other players unless you purchase full versions, but if you want to see what you like before you commit, try sites like www.gpdownloads.co.nz, www.gamespot.com or http://half-life2.com/.

Cheap 10 day demos can sometimes be purchased from the Warehouse, which you can then register and pay to upgrade online.

To really play these games seriously against other players around the world, and to download a game quickly, you’re going to need a broadband connection. Some of the downloadable demos are several hundred Megabytes in size!

Norman writes: Hi Rob, Like your newsletters - very informative. My query is this: what is the size limit for hotmail messages? I have sent emails with photos attached and they have been returned as undeliverable. Regards, Norman

Hi Norman, There's a size limit of one Megabyte when sending attachments to Hotmail. That's for the free accounts. MSN Hotmail Plus subscribers get 20 MB.

Famous5 writes: Hiya, We have recently upgraded from the ME edition to XP and would like help, if 'n you wouldn't mind. Something on our ME edition that we don't seem to be able to view on our XP is 'History'. On our previous ME edition, without connecting to the internet we could view any previously downloaded page or file by left clicking 'My Computer' on our desktop, then right clicking on 'Explore', 'C drive', 'Windows' then 'History', we could view pages of web sites we had visited. However the XP edition has us stumped, we have tried synchronising all above mentioned pages as well as ticking the 'view offline' box but nothing seems to work. We are a young couple with young children that frequently use the internet for school activities and such, and are extremely conscious of pages they view on the web. Our children have hotmail addresses we like to keep tabs on and did not have a problem checking their movement on our ME edition, Please help, we must be doing something wrong or something not right! Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Debbie,  Providing you're using Internet Explorer, there are much easier ways to view your history, and these work under XP and most Windows versions.

With Internet Explorer open, click on View on the tools menu. Click on Explorer bar in the menu that drops down, and then on History. All your history can be viewed by day and time. Even easier, with Internet Explorer open, just type H whilst holding down the ctrl key.

This should all work whether you're online or not. Other browsers have similar functions that are probably just as easy to use. If you're not using Internet Explorer, let me know and I'll get you instructions for whatever browser you're using.

Brian writes: I have just read your answer (last month) to the WinFIXER problem. I have found that the popup advertising this "helpful" program can come in through Windows Messenger. While following up on the Windows Metafile exploit after a warning in the Windows Secrets Newsletter, I learned about several other possible points of entry, including Windows Messenger. I learned it is intended (unlike MSN Messenger) to be used only in a LAN, but can be hijacked from the Net. The suggestion was made to use Shoot The Messenger, from Gibson Research Corporation to disable it. Any method of turning it off, and closing its port, should be useful. Regards, Brian

Excellent, Brian, thanks.

Bert writes: Hello Rob, I get e-mails from time to time which contain pictures that do not show up on my computer. I do realise that I am missing the reader programmes for the pictures in question. My question to you is, can I, by going to properties of these e-mails, find out how the pictures were created and so ascertain what I need to download to view them? Regards Bert.

Hi Bert, Thanks for your e-mail. No, not really. The headers of the e-mails will only contain information about the e-mail itself, what program sent it, what servers it passed through, when, etc.When an attachment is made to an e-mail, nothing is recorded about what created the attached file, or anything like that.

You can tell a lot about the file by its extension, and sometimes you can tell what created it that way. The most common file extensions for images are .jpg and gif. These are pretty generic, though, as jpgs and gifs can be made by any or most graphics programs. By the same token, jpgs and gifs should be easily viewable by any imaging software you have, including Picture Viewer which comes standard with Windows.

Image files created by proprietary programs such as PhotoShop won't be viewable at all unless you have the programs installed; likewise with PowerPoint presentations (ending in .pps) unless you have Microsoft Office, or a PowerPoint viewer program.

One way to learn what created a non-generic file is to check its file extension on the net. http://filext.com/, for example, allows you to enter the file extension into a search box. It will then give you some information about the program that outputs those files.

I figured that I couldn't do any worse than blowing the $39 at a casino, and who knows... maybe a few of these places would actually send me something good."

Whether you're religious or not, it can't be denied that a lot of the historical sites that are so interesting to visit, existed originally for sacred reasons.
