Give me the Operator!

"Give me the operator!" Don't you get frustrated sometimes when you are going in circles while calling a business. You try pressing 0 or the * key and nothing. You get frustrated then you hang up. You just wanted to talk to someone and not some machine. Well I have something for you. Go here, Gethuman, find the company and look under the gethuman column to see how you can talk to homo sapiens sapiens.

Save - Free Firewall

Recently I installed the free firewall software from Comodo. It is a neat program and has fewer pop-ups than other firewalls because of its ability to "learn". So if you need a free firewall software, try this one as it was also recommended in the latest issue of PC Mags under The Best Free Software.

Save - Free Antivirus Software

Need a free antivirus software? Try avast! 4 Home Edition. I recently installed it on my notebook and currently use it. It has a couple of "engines" that check email, web, smtp, etc. There is no adware or any other annoyances. Give it a try.

Cheap Prices on Air Travel

Right now there are some nice rates on air travel, specially to Europe, from now until probablly May or the start of summer. I have not seen these prices since a long time. What I have found is that if you do a search on Tuesday at around midnight, you get better prices than other days. Also try leaving on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday and stay at least a Saturday.
