Labels:

We have the free software to make labels for return addresses or using your Christmas mailing lists. Click HERE to download the free APLI label software. This makes it a lot easier than addressing all those Christmas card envelopes.

Digital Camera:

What did we do before the digital camera??   Take fotos on Christmas day. Take them to be developed(and pay for the good shots as well as those you really don’t want).  Snail mail them to your family and friends.  And then put them in a box to save!  
With a digital camera on Christmas day you can upload all the photos to a web album on line and the family can see them immediately as well as  they can download them.  or email them to the family. Click HERE to download Google Picasa 3 to manage and upload free your photos.

And don’t forget the video aspect of your camera.  A picture might be worth a thousand words but a video is worth a thousand pictures.  And we have free software to put your videos together on our website. Click HERE to download your free copy of DVDFlick software.

Photo Story:
Make a DVD using your photos and add music and voice over with the Photo Story software.   It makes those still photos look like a video.  This is a wonderful piece of software to use for an event i.e. birthday, wedding, anniversary or Christmas day and give the DVD as a gift. Click HERE to download the Microsoft Photo Story 3 software.

Skype:
Talk to family and friends on Christmas for a long as you like for free!!!  Don’t forget a conference call. (more than two parties talking at once) this can bring the whole family together at Christmas no matter where they are in the world!

Webcam:
The Webcam has been a life change for families.  Now distance is not a barrier.  See the children and grandchildren via the webcam on Christmas day.  See them open your presents and actually share the moments with them.  I was reading on webcams and they said grannies have actually kept the grandchildren amused via the webcam by reading stories, interact in games etc.  The times have a changed!! 

 Shopping On Line:
 Has also revolutionized and changed our Christmas Season.  We spoke about shopping on line in a previous program (Click HERE to see detasils of our TV340 broadcast on safe online shopping).  It is still not too late to shop and take advantage of the currency exchange (dollars or pounds) which is very favorable for the euro. If the recipient is not in Spain do try to buy from a site in their country which will save you on shipping.  i.e. Amazon.co.uk (for British friends) or Amazon.com (for American friends).
