Tired of
Junk Mail (the politically correct term is "Unsolicted Mail")
Sick of Telemarketing Phone Calls at dinner trying to sell you something???? Direct Marketing Association will remove your name, address and phone number from many lists.

FONTS
PC's & Mac's use the same type of formats for fonts; however, to use a font from one platform (computer: PC or Mac) to another, it must be 'converted'. Those fonts created in PC such as The CelticLady's(TM) Fonts can be used by Mac after using TTConverter (see below) to convert them.TTConverter (see below) to convert them.
The CelticLady's (TM) Fontsare available in TrueType™ - however until I get a conversion program Mac users will need to use TTConverter to convert the PC TrueType for Mac use. Compressed files allow for faster download time and therefore require certain programs to uncompress them - below is a selection of shareware for uncompressing such files.
This identifies the type of file by its 'extension'. The extension is the last three letters that follow the period (full stop) after the name of the file. An example is CARS.PCX. The file's name is "CARS" and its extension is .PCX or PC Paintbrush format. Below are a few clip art formats:
