Free sound editor

I'm glad to say that I've found another great free product!

It's a sound editor called Audacity.

It works great and is really super easy to use.

Just try it out and see for your self.

You can get 80 or so plug ins for it, they make the effects.

Every thing is free. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/



It will also be listed on "the Geek Site".

IMPORTANT INFO

Google has implemented a new feature which enables you to type a telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and you will be given the person's name and address. If you then hit MapQuest, you will get a map to the person's house. Everyone should be aware of this! It's a nationwide reverse telephone book.



If a child gives out his/her phone number, someone can now look it up to find out where he/she lives. The safety issues are obvious, and alarming.



Note that you can have your phone number removed or blocked. I tried my number and it came up along with the mapquest and directions straight to our house. I did fill out the removal form for myself, and encourage all of you to do the same. Quite scary.



Please look up your own number.



In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to: google (http://www.google.com/) Type your phone number in the search bar (i.e. 555-555-1212) and hit enter. If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your private information, simply click on your telephone number and then click on the Removal Form. Removal takes 48-hours.



Check your own number and although this may not apply to you if you have an unlisted number or cell phone as primary contact, but you may know someone who needs to know this.



Please share this information with friends and family



WHEN CHECKING YOUR NUMBER DONT PUT IN THE PREFIX 1--- ONLY YOUR AREA CODE AND TELEPHONE NO...
