Elsewhere Online: AT&T's New TOS: Caps, Fewer Legal Rights, Forced U-Verse Upgrade - And a Provision Forcing You to be Polite About it All | DSLReports.com, ISP Information

If you have ever thought about switching away from AT&T broadband Internet services, now may be the time to put your plans in action. Harkening back to the old monopolistic days of Ma Bell, AT&T's new terms of service seem to be saying "Like it or lump it"...and oh, and by the way, if you complain about it too loudly, we'll cut you off anyway.

The fact that it is AT&T's own horrible policies, and even worse service, that has angered its customers seems to be ignored.

Look for alternatives for your Internet service today. Vote with your wallet and your feet.

Shared calendars are one part of an organized family

by Douglas E. Welch , techiq@welchwrite.com 206-338-5832 Reader/Listener Line As a parent with a school-age child, I often hear other parents bemoaning their disorganized existence. Along with the busy schedules of two working parents you might have art classes, karate classes, Little League, soccer and more. Add in more than one kid and organizing your life can quickly become a nightmare. This is exactly why one of my most important organizing devices is a shared calendar that reflects all the activities and events for everyone in the household...and I do mean everything.

Google Docs adds templates

I have started to move away from using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc) in favor of online tools like Google Docs . Even as a computer consultant, I find that I use probably less than 10% of the features in any of these projects.

When available, you will find the templates under the New... menu item. From Open Loops ... Today, Google quietly rolled out a new feature for their Google Docs Applications: Templates! It's so new that it isn't even listed on the new features page at this time. When one opens their Google Docs account and chooses to start a new document, a new "From Template..." command is pre...
