Introducing Real Estate CyberSpace Radio! Now you can listen to the same briefings the real estate cyber pros use to deliver top-notch service to clients! Real Estate CyberSpace Radio covers major real estate technology conferences and rebroadcasts selected briefings for public listening.

For example: You can eavesdrop on what the experts say about "The Future of the Digital Transaction"? Or listen to real estate intelligence tidbits from "Trends in Commercial Brokerage", "DealMaking in Cyberspace" or "International Cyberspace Strategies" All of these briefings and dozens more there for your listening. All as a public service from the Real estate CyberSpace Society.

If you are like us you hate filling out forms on the web --over and over and over again! Now a neat new little helper will fill them out for you with one click!

Here is a quick free download that not only fills in just about any form you will run into in your web travels, but also:

1. Remembers user names and passwords for one-click login,
2. Searches over 300 on-line stores to find you the lowest prices on the Web, and,
3. Registers you instantly at popular Web sites.

This easy to operate helper attaches unobtrusively to your web browser and you can toggle it off and on as needed. Just the form filler is enough to make you smile each time you use it. It's like beating the cussed typing system --at zero WPM!

Out, Out, Darn Caps!

Speaking of cussing-- how often have you started to type up a real estate proposal (or any document or E-mail message) and accidentally hit the "Caps Lock" key! Usually we discover this about 7 lines later! Talk about time wasters!

Now comes a little one trick pony that allows you to control the response of the Caps Lock key so that you must purposely hold it down before it will toggle. You can be notified by a unique sound when the Caps Lock function has been activated, and when it has been turned off. And all of this works in the background - for all your Windows applications!

This one isn't a freebie but you can test this handy tool and, if you like it as much as we think you will, it will set you back $6.95 (about the price of two minutes on the Caps Lock psychiatrist couch!).

Eliminate Spam!

Tired of hearing from all the rascals who want to "Repair your credit", or help you "Lose 10 pounds in 3 hours" or many other even more amazing (sometimes disgusting --always annoying) "offers"! This great place, Brightmail.com is designed to give home and small business users a way to benefit from spam-fighting technology without bearing the costs.

When using this free and effective service your email travels through filters each time you check your email. The good email arrives in your In Box, while the suspected spam messages are sidelined into your "Caught Spam box". You can view your Caught Spam at any time and delete it all -- or if you are inclined to lose 10 pounds in 3 hours, you can retrieve the filtered message or messages that intrigue you!

Big time saver and aggravation eliminator!
