New SPAM and virus
Filtering System for GroupWise
Over the weekend of May 8th and 9th a Filtering
System will be installed on the GroupWise server.
After the weekend of May 8th and 9th all incoming
email on the GroupWise system will be scanned for SPAM and viruses.
This system will not not discard any messages. All messages
will still be delivered to the intended email account. They will
just be modified before they are delivered to your mailbox if they
are SPAM or contain infected attachments.
Please read the updated GroupWise
section of the News & Tips page for further details and
instructions on setting up a GroupWise rule to handle SPAM messages.
LCD Monitor Care &
Tips
If you have an LCD (flat
panel) monitor please make note of the following care
guidelines. The screens of the LCD monitors are made of a
plastic and should not be cleaned with glass cleaners. The ammonia
in glass cleaners can etch the screen. Paper toweling should
never be used to clean an LCD screen either as it is abrasive and
can permanently scratch the screen. If your screen is dirty
and needs to be cleaned a solution designed for cleaning LCD screens
should be used with a soft cotton rag.

For those who order from

oz bottle. Item number RRTRR1260.
For instructions on changing
the resolution displayed by your monitor please see the Windows
