Print the research paper. Above the title of your printed research paper, handwrite the
number of words, including the footnote, in the research paper.
Electronic Mail Notes
E-mail or electronic mail - transmission of messages via a computer network - local area network
or the Internet (Lance and Reeder 36-56). Simple text and/or attachments.
Create, send, receive, forward, store, print, and delete e-mail messages. Mail notification alert
available on most software.
Message mailbox - storage location on the computer that connects you to the local area network
or the Internet. The server is called a mail server. E-mail program normally supplied by Internet
service providers and online services.
For efficiency, e-mail software allows one message to be sent to a distribution list. Software
copies the message and sends it to each person on the distribution list (Shelly Cashman Series®
Microsoft Word 2002 Project 2). Site an example.
Like letters, you must address an e-mail message, and to receive e-mail, someone must have your
e-mail address. Internet e-mail address - combination of user name and a domain name.
User-ID - unique combination of characters - different from other user names in the same
domain. Example - Henry Jones on scsite.com - HJones, HenryJones, or H_Jones.
At-sign (@) - separates user name from domain - H_Jones@scsite.com or HJones@scsite.com.
Signature - attached automatically to outgoing messages - your name, your company, favorite
quotation. Today, e-mail quickly is becoming a primary communication method for both
personal and business use (footnote - Holloway says that by 2005 over half of all commerce will
be conducted using e-mail and the Internet).

FIGURE W4A - 1
I am making a loan request based on a detailed financial projection, which demonstrates that by combining $85,000
of my own assets with a loan of $155,000, I can open a computer store and offer consulting services. I will consider
securing the loan using the equity in my home as collateral. The loan will allow me to hire a full-time salesperson, a
full-time technician, and two part-time salespeople and technicians.
My conservative estimate of revenue and cash flow indicates that I will make a profit after three months and will
become self-sustaining after six months. I currently have two small business contracts for supplying 30 computers,
and I expect to have a third proposal approved within the next three weeks. Within one year, I expect to double my
sales and technical staff to meet growing demand.
Elm Park Village Computer Center will offer a wide variety of services to its customers.
Name brand hardware products and peripherals
Name brand software products
Professional technical support
On-site and in-store computer repair
Elm Park Village Computer Center will be conveniently located for both the home and business computer user. We
look forward to being part of the growing community of Elm Park Village.
Word Project 5 – Lab Test A

size.
5.
Save the main document for the form letter again and print it.
6.
Merge and print the form letters.

Since CES covers the entire technology gadget world, cell phones have to
compete with MP3 players, televisions, and computers just to get noticed. And
because most cell phone manufacturers and carriers save their biggest
announcements for the annual Cellular Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) trade show held every spring, CES can be somewhat quiet as
far as mobiles are concerned. That's not to say there's no news to report, but the
bigger announcements concerned upgrades or refinements to existing models or
services rather than entirely new handsets. Of course, Samsung introduced a few
new phones, but even the new Palm Treo 700w is built on an existing product.
Yet, of what we did see, high-speed data, most notably in the Samsung ZX20,
and music, most notably in the Motorola Rokr E2, were major themes.
3G on the rise
After years of lagging behind Europe and Asia, the United States now has
serviceable 3G networks and a solid choice of compatible handsets--but only for
CDMA carriers. It all started at CES 2005, when Verizon Wireless announced its
3G EV-DO network and accompanying V Cast multimedia service. As expected,
Sprint was second to market when it activated its EV-DO network last November,
but we figured in Las Vegas, we'd see some additional 3G news from Cingular;
last month, the carrier announced a 16-city HSDPA network for laptop users but
not for cell phones. Despite our predictions, however, Cingular was decidedly
quiet at CES. Instead, the 3G came from Samsung and LG, both of which
announced new phones for high-speed GSM networks.
Samsung's ZX20, which clinched the Best of CES award for the cell phone
category, will run on 3.5G HSDPA networks and provide data speeds of 1.8Mbps.
That's a far cry from the poky 56Kbps download speeds available on most
current cell phones. For slightly slower (but still 3G) UMTS networks, Samsung
announced the ZX10, and LG announced its CU320. Of course, you're probably
wondering just when we'll actually see these devices in stores. According to our
best information, Cingular will make the LG CU320 and the Samsung ZX20
available (on a UMTS basis) in the next few weeks. The HSDPA phone will go live
in the second quarter, and it will extend to most major markets by the end of the
year.
Back on the CDMA front, Samsung announced the EV-DO Samsung a930, and
UTStarcom gave us a peek at the CDM8945.
Music on your phone
Although it was scooped last November when Sprint unveiled its Music Store,
Verizon fought back at CES with a flashy event at the Hard Rock Hotel, where
the carrier announced V Cast Music. As with Sprint, you can download songs
directly to your cell phone, but unlike with Sprint, songs will go to your handset
and your PC if you decide to download the songs over the air to your phone. The
dual downloads mean songs can be transferred back and forth, yet another key
differentiator from Sprint. Downloads to your computer are 99 cents each (hello
iTunes), while songs downloaded over the air to your phone are $1.99 each.
While cheaper than Sprint, wireless downloads still will impact your wallet
significantly, but there is a way out. Verizon readily admitted that you can first
download songs to your PC at 99 cents each, then load them on to your phone
with a USB cable, thus saving $1 in the process.
Verizon's Music Store, which is based on Windows, will launch January 16 on the
LG VX8100. Customers will need to bring in their VX8100 to a Verizon store for
an upgrade. Yet, there's been word of a rather disturbing development in the
past few days. According to Phonescoop.com, the upgrade disables the playback
of any preexisting MP3s saved to the memory card. We don't like the sound of
that at all. Beyond the VX8100, additional phones that should support the Music
Store include the Samsung a930 and the UTStarcom CDM8945.
Not to be outdone, Motorola announced the Rokr E2, an update to its mediocre
Rokr E1 iTunes phone. The new and much improved Rokr E2 corrects some of its
predecessor's flaws by allowing for music listening through Bluetooth headsets,
increasing the song memory above the paltry 100 tracks, adding an FM radio,
and boosting the camera resolution to 1.3 megapixels. The design is still a bit
boring, but this time, there's a version in black. Also, Sony Ericsson announced a
new Walkman phone, the W810i.
