This weekend I was reminded as to why I use a Mac as my main computer. After Windows Vista crashed without anything major being added to the system, it made me mad as hell. After several restore point sessions it came back up, but I am still not sure if the problem is fixed. If it keeps happening then I will need to do a full re-install of Windows. This is an option I was hoping I would not need to go through. The good news is that I do have almost all my critical data backed up to my external drive or to Dell’s Back server.

There was a funny message from Firefox after one of my crashes that I had not seen before. Here is a screen capture for your amusement.

Well I hope that my trouble with Windows Vista is over for the day. The problem started while I was using Firefox so I am trying Google Chrome as an alternative and see if I still get this crash. All I can say is if you do not own a Mac then you need to look into it if you depend on your computer for any type of business need.

As an online marketer there is an interest as to how Pitch Men at carnivals and fairs DO BUSINESS. Ever since I was a kid I would watch these guys make a ton of money. No matter what was being sold people felt that they needed to get it right there and then. Since I market to people online the same skills that pitch men use can help with my business. It was with sadness that I learned of Billy Mays passing this past weekend. His voice without fail came on during most commercial breaks. His tone and style made him a success pitching products on television. It’s amazing at how many commercials Billy Mays was involved with, and the different products that were promoted. The way he was able to build trust and urgency for the products made a very sought after television personality. The only one who can challenge Billy Mays at the moment is Vince the Sham Wow guy. The lesson to be learned form Billy Mays or other pitch men is that a passion for the product is the key to sales. Next time you see an as seen on TV type commercial pay attention and study the pitch.
