			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you an Applications Addict?  Are you like me, do you love searching for new apps for your smartphone, iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad?</p>
<p>If so, you better watch out!  The Mac App store is <strong>NOW</strong> here.  It promises to be the easiest way to add new programs to your computer.  <a href="#Warning"><span style="color: #ff0000;">(See Warning below)</span></a></p>
<p><a title="Apple Mac Application Store" href="http://www.apple.com/mac/app-store/" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2128" title="AppStoreAvailable" src="http://www.mpnspecials.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/AppStoreAvailable.jpg" alt="Apple Mac App Store Now Available" width="412" height="226" /></a></p>
<p>No disks, no waiting, always available and more. <a href="#Note"><span style="color: #0000ff;">(see Note below)</span></a><br />
See my previous post for more details:</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><a title="Permanent Link to Applications Coming To Your Mac" rel="bookmark" href="../applications-coming-to-your-mac/">Applications Coming To Your Mac</a></h3>
<p>I just gave it a try. Once installed, it is so easy to install new programs and applications.  Just click the new App Store icon in your dock, browse the apps, and click install, just like you do within the iTunes Store.</p>
<p><strong>How To Install The Mac App Store</strong></p>
<p>Getting this great feature couldn&#8217;t be easier either! All you need to do is <span id="more-2125"></span>install the latest software updates for your computer.</p>
<p>1) Go to the Apple icon and click on &#8220;Software Updates . . .&#8221;<br />
<a href="http://www.mpnspecials.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/SoftwareUpdate.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2134" title="SoftwareUpdate" src="http://www.mpnspecials.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/SoftwareUpdate.jpg" alt="Checking for Mac software Updates" width="155" height="208" /></a></p>
<p>2) You will see the &#8220;Checking For New Software&#8221; window:<br />
<a href="http://www.mpnspecials.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Checking-ForSoftwareUpdates.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2135" title="Checking ForSoftwareUpdates" src="http://www.mpnspecials.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Checking-ForSoftwareUpdates.jpg" alt="Checking For New Software" width="281" height="117" /></a></p>
<p>3) You will then see the &#8220;Software Updates Available&#8221; window:<br />
<a href="http://www.mpnspecials.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/SoftwareUpdatesAvailable.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2136" title="SoftwareUpdatesAvailable" src="http://www.mpnspecials.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/SoftwareUpdatesAvailable.jpg" alt="Mac Software Updates Available" width="341" height="134" /></a></p>
<p>4) You will then see the &#8220;Downloading Software&#8221; window:<br />
<a href="http://www.mpnspecials.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/DownloadingSoftware1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2139" title="DownloadingSoftware" src="http://www.mpnspecials.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/DownloadingSoftware1.jpg" alt="Downloading Mac Software" width="350" height="99" /></a></p>
<p>5) You will then be reminded that you need to restart your computer:<br />
<a href="http://www.mpnspecials.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/RestartComputer1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2142" title="RestartComputer" src="http://www.mpnspecials.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/RestartComputer1.jpg" alt="Resart Mac Computer" width="288" height="108" /></a></p>
<p>6) You will then see your computer installing the new software and restart.</p>
<p>7) Once your computer restarts and everything is up and running, go to your Dock and you will see the App Store icon:<br />
<a href="http://www.mpnspecials.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/MacAppStoreIcon-WithArrow.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2144" title="MacAppStoreIcon-WithArrow" src="http://www.mpnspecials.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/MacAppStoreIcon-WithArrow.jpg" alt="Mac App Store Icon" width="114" height="73" /></a></p>
<p> <img src='http://www.mpnspecials.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> You&#8217;re DONE !!  That is it.  you are now ready to explore your new Mac App Store.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a name="Note"></a>NOTE:  I great little benefit is that the icon for the new application is automatically placed on your dock for extra convenience.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a name="Warning"></a>WARNING: Searching apps can become addictive!!</span></p>
<p>Have fun,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just got a new iPhone and started setting up email on it.  I have several email accounts.  I also use my desktop, my laptop, and now my iPhone to check my email.  As you can imagine, it can get very tedious to see the same thing in all three places.</p>
<p>That is why I decided to switch from POP email to iMAP in all locations.</p>
<p>Here is a short video which highlights the differences:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Memorial</span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">Day</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">is approaching</span></strong>.  There will be parties everywhere.  It is also a great excuse for a lot of sales.</p>
<p>I found some great savings on all kinds of electronics, including computers, computer monitors, cameras, TVs, Apple iPods, software, hard-drives, GPSs, Bluetooth headsets and more.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">You can save as much as 25% &#8211; 88%.</span> That is <span style="color: #0000ff;">over $1200</span> on the most expensive items (an Apple MacBook laptop computer).</p>
<p>You can check out the deals:</p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>NOTE: </strong></span>Remember, if you are trying to save money, <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>only buy something that you really need</strong></span>.  If you are already looking to buy something, then this is a great time to find a sale!  If saving money is a goal for you, don&#8217;t just go out and buy something because it is on sale.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is still time to get your taxes done, but you better hurry.  You do not want to wait for  the last minute.</p>
<p>My birthday is in April. I do not want to say when, but I will say that I am usually stuck spending my birthday finishing my taxes to get them done before the deadline.</p>
<p>I know I previously posted tax software, but my goal is to keep you up to date with the latest specials.  I just found an even better deal than before, so here is a great deal on Turbo Tax.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26rs%3D%26ref%255F%3Dsr%255Fpg%255F1%26keywords%3Dturbotax%26qid%3D1235111313%26rh%3Di%253Aaps%252Ck%253Aturbotax%26page%3D1&amp;tag=mpsp0e-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Turbo Tax Specials &#8211; All Versions</span></a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=mpsp0e-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know I am jumping around a bit on my postings, but I am trying to determine your needs while at the same time being timely.</p>
<p>Someone contacted me recently and pointed out that <strong>Tax Time is approaching</strong>.  They wanted <strong>Turbo Tax® from Intuit</strong> or <strong>Tax Cut from H&amp;R block</strong>®.</p>
<p>After further discussion, it turns out that they prefer Turbo Tax because several years ago, Turbo Tax was the only software that was able to download their stock portfolio information from their brokerage account directly into Turbo Tax.  Now, either software might offer that capability, I&#8217;ll have to check.  But your choice really depends on personal preference and what you are used to.  If you currently use Quicken, you probably prefer Turbo Tax.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">There are many versions of each, depending on whether you want:</span><br />
1) eFile or mail in your return.<br />
2) Federal or Federal &amp; State<br />
3) Home or Home &amp; Business</p>
<p>There are so many options, it does not make sense for me to put prices here.  In any case, you can use the link below to get whichever version you want and SAVE BIG MONEY.</p>
<p>When you click on the link, you will be brought to a page with all the options. Click on the link that says: &#8220;<em>Tax Software</em>&#8220;.</p>
<p>Then scroll down to select the version you want.  The first price you see (&#8220;<em>Our Price</em>&#8220;) is NOT the best price.  Click where is says &#8220;<em>Available From Other Merchants</em>&#8221; for the lowest price available!!<br />
