Happy New Year! ...what?
This month we start sending our monthly eMag again! We skipped Jan/Feb while we revamped our newsletter approach to further support the separating of Prestwood IT (the business) from our online community for I.T. professionals. Now our eMag features content exclusively from our online community. Optionally, you can add our business content to your eMag but the content is turned off by default.
Expert guidance from working professionals!

is generally defined as an unsolicited mailing, usually sent to many
recipients. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious
products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam costs
the sender very little to send. Most of the costs are paid by the
recipient or the carriers rather than the sender. Some effective methods
for preventing your e-mail address from being captured, sold or abused
by spammers in the full version of this article. Click the title to read more.
