Lacking Local Customers
My main problem is that I get few orders from within New Zealand. Most of my customers are from overseas, which is great, but why am I not reaching my local market?

Cookie Control and the Accessing of Sites
Carey,
I have a cable modem that has 3 computers networked on it. On two of the computers, I loaded CookieCop 2. Over a period of time, certain web sites became unavailable to the computers that have CookieCop2 on them. The first was fool.com, followed by the financial section of yahoo, and then amazon.com.
Here recently, I haven’t been able to get onto ccbonline.com. The 3rd machine has never had CookieCop loaded on to it, so I can go to any of the above sites (this eliminated the router as a potential problem). I have removed CookieCop on one machine but it did not correct the problem. It still loads on machine 2 and it still will not connect Also I never set CookieCop up to block any of these sites. It appears there is a file or something on machine 1 and 2 that is keeping them from accessing these web sites.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Marvin

Freecell and the IE6 dilema
Dear Carey,
Ever since I upgraded my IE to 6.0, freecell won’t work in Windows. As soon as I uninstalled it, it works again, but I’d like to know if there’s a way to fix this problem.
Thanks !!
A Powerful Job Search Letter Often Ignored by Job Hunters
The follow-up letter is a powerful tool often ignored by applicants during job search. Written effectively, it can add weight to your application, particularly when a short list for second or third interviews is being determined by the recruiter. The follow-up letter has several uses:

Navigating E-Newsletters: The Editor’s Note
Carol Abrahamson, a regular Murdok reader, recently submitted her text e-newsletter to me for the drive by review. She sells her consulting services along with an info product, so her e-newsletter is a crucial part of her marketing initiative. For this review I looked primarily at ways she could take email reading patterns into account and create an e-newsletter that readers will use and feel connected with.
System Resource Solutions
Hi, Carey
Thank you for the helpful suggestions about my problems with too little memory. I have a couple more questions for you…….
A few months ago I added 64MB to boost my computer’s memory to 96MB RAM. Looking at Performance Stats today I find that System Resources are 53% free. While that may have helped in improved performance (mostly faster), it
hasn’t helped any with the problem I have re the C: drive. Today I have 1.96GB capacity and 222MB free there. This is actually up a little ~ most of the time I find that I have about 5% to work with..
So, the first question for the day is how do I eliminate this problem? I have tried removing unused programs in the past and most of the time wound up with more problems, because some bit of information that was used by another program got taken out.
Next question: how can I tell what not to eliminate?
Hoping you can help.
