It works.<br>  As to cell phones.  Yes, I have one, and think they are great.  As to text messages, I think they will be the ruin of correct spelling, which will put "more" folks out of work, the Dictionary people...and the spelling teachers.<br> One more thing about cell phones.  I predict that if it hasn't happened already, sometime, somewhere a funeral service will be underway in a church, when suddenly a cell phone will ring from within the coffin. <br>I also predict, to the consternation of those attending the service....someone may even, "answer that call".<br>  Anyway, nothing surprises me anymore.  How about you?<br>  <br> ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Norbert Roach]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 2nd 2009 10:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 16 Biggest Tech No-Nos]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/02/16-biggest-tech-no-nos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/02/16-biggest-tech-no-nos/</guid><description><![CDATA[Maybe one of you can answer a question for me??  I was told that if I use CC button, It will not show up the email address to everyone?? Is that true?? <br> If not? Is there anyway if your'e sending something out to a few people, that everyone can't see someone else's email address for privacy reasons?

You simply put in everyone's email address in the mail to section, then put a parenthis  ( at the beginning of the first name and another ) at the last email input, example.<br><br>(jsmith@aol.com,jsmith@yahoo.com,jsmith@wildblue.net)<br><br>this works for AOL mail, it's the easiest way to do it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joanne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 2nd 2009 10:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 16 Biggest Tech No-Nos]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/02/16-biggest-tech-no-nos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/02/16-biggest-tech-no-nos/</guid><description><![CDATA[BCC, means "blind carbon copy".

I got to read the article without seeing a single ad on Digg, and popped in here and scrolled down to find a comment like yours so I could chime in on the idiocy of the multi-page format. I've not seen any ads long enough for them to make an impact; therefor I've used up the hosts server cycles and power with no benefit to them purely based on their choice of layout for the article.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shane]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 8th 2009 11:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 16 Biggest Tech No-Nos]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/02/16-biggest-tech-no-nos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/02/16-biggest-tech-no-nos/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh my goodness! Why do some of you have to be so god damn rude?? I am only asking a question! I DO want some of the people to get the email, that's why I am sending it! It would be easier to send out an invitation or other such emails by doing it like that without having everyone see the other's addresses! Why is that being rude?? I am TRYING to prevent that from happening!<br>My goodness! Now I know why I have NEVER used this kind of a site before!! It was my FIRST and now my LAST time I will try to get other AOL users to answer a damn queston I have that's for sure!<br>I just buried my husband last month and there are some things I want to send out to the people that would be better done without them all knowing I was sending the same thing to them all! I thought it would be the easiest and the kindest way to get it done! I am in enough pain without having to keep writing some of that stuff over and over again! If you want to know the truth you just did!<br>Gee! Thanks anyway! I hope these answers some of you have written show others that may be thinking of using this help board to maybe think TWICE!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Teresa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2009 10:36PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
