Have We Updated The Trumpet?

F5! Then look at "What's New"

 

Attention AOL Browser Users!

 

The AOL browser will sometimes not update, when you press the F5 key or "Refresh," for several days after The Trumpet has been updated.

 

Email Hoaxes

 

We get emails with warnings that threaten us with dire consequences! We're urged to pass the warning on to everyone in our Address Book. Often, the emails tell you that "this has been checked out on Snopes, verified by Microsoft, etc."

 

99.9% of those emails are hoaxes and depend upon you to propagate them. ALWAYS CHECK FIRST ON SNOPES or TRUTHORFICTION.  Don't spread the crap!


 

Can't find something here? To search The Trumpet, leave the "this Site" button lit.

IMPORTANT: To get back to The Trumpet from the Yahoo search page, click the at the upper left of the Yahoo search page!


Need to get your news posted here fast? Email Werner or Lee.

Do NOT open any email that says you have been sent pictures or a message on a web site called "TAGGED." Just delete it. The email heading will claim that somebody you legitimately know and recognize has sent you pictures via the Tagged site.

It is bogus and collects email addresses. Check it out on Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/computer/internet/Tagged.asp

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE SO: This is not a virus and it will not harm your computer, but lots of your friends will get similar emails (from your name). You should have seen this graphic:

Again, just delete the email!

Etc.

By Werner Feldhaeusser, Co-Editor and Owner, The Trumpet.

"Etc." will feature pictures and other interesting stuff I get from wherever, or just make up.  Hope you find it interesting or useful and, sometimes, amusing! If not, then well, it's at the bottom and easily ignored.

Useless stuff to lighten your day . . .

At five minutes and six seconds after 4 AM on the 8th of July this year, the time and date will be 04:05:06 07/08/09. This will never happen again.


Interesting Stuff . . .

How did we get the numbers 1, 2, 3 etc. You don't know this!
