Editor's notes

 

Welcome to the sixth edition of OZ-Traveller! 

 

We hope you had a great fantastic Valentine's Day with lots of lovers enjoying a stay at your B&B.

 

The Valentine's Day week proved to be another big one at OZbedandbreakfast.com with plenty of bookings being made for the week.

 

A great deal of these bookings were a result of Press Releases printed in both the Sunday Herald Sun (Melbourne) and The Sunday Telegraph (Sydney).  If you missed these articles, you can check out the feature yourself in our Press Room

A faster Internet Connection


Tired of waiting forever for web pages to load? You deserve a faster Internet connection!  OK, sounds like a bit of an advertisement, but I don't do that in these publications often.  However, I do like to pass on things to our readers that I personally use, and find helpful.  Many of you have told me that you have slow connections and would like to upgrade to a better computer.  Before you do, take a look at what  webROCKET can do to your existing system.  It cost only $29.95 US, but has been well worth the money for us.

What is webROCKET 2001?
webROCKET is a powerful, easy-to-use program for Windows® 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, and XP which accelerates your Internet connection speed by up to 200%. (Trust me, it really does!)

What does webROCKET do?
Without webROCKET, Windows® lacks the power to provide you with an optimal Internet connection because of changing, unstable network conditions.

webROCKET automatically turbo charges your Internet connection by boosting Internet data transport efficiency. webROCKET adapts your modem or high-speed connection to its maximum potential.

Will webROCKET 2001 work on my system?
As long as you have Windows® 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, or XP, absolutely! Because webROCKET optimizes the way Windows® works with the Internet, you will notice an improvement with any web browser, e-mail client, file transfer, online game, or other Internet software. webROCKET speeds up everything you do on the Internet, and improves your Internet performance even if you already have a high speed connection or speed boosting software.

Will webROCKET 2001 speed up any Internet connection?
Yes. webROCKET is compatible with any home or office Internet connection that works in Windows®, including dial-up modems of any speed, and high-speed connections such as cable modems, DSL, ISDN, T-1, LAN, etc. It works with all Internet services, including AOL and local ISPs.

How do I use webROCKET?
webROCKET 2001 is extremely easy to use. The QuickOptimize™ screen allows you to select the best settings for your connection type. Most webROCKET users find that the Standard Method is best for their computers.

Is it really as simple as that?
Absolutely. When you have installed and optimized your Internet connection using webROCKET, you will only need to reoptimize if you make changes to your network (for example, switching from a dial-up modem to a high speed connection). It is recommended that you QuickOptimize periodically to maintain optimal performance. webROCKET 2001 displays a reminder for you so that you can be sure you're at maximum speed!

Any time you use the Internet, webROCKET 2001 will already be set up to optimize your connectivity. And, if you need any assistance installing or using webROCKET, we're here to help!
