eNewsletter seven – PDF Printers and Camera Phones
Posted on April 26th, 2008 by Rob in eNewsletter

Welcome back for week seven of our weekly eNewsletter summary. This week has been fun at 170spoons as we’ve had some good conversations on the two main posts. We also had a little “spoon humor” and a tip about reading the email version.
Now on to the online casino USA (or is that US RDA?) meat of the week!
Make Your Default Printer a PDF Writer
This is a tip I learned several years ago and have used it ever since. Ever accidentally press the print button and a paper page starts to print? Ever want to create PDF files for free? That’s where this tip comes in. There are free PDF writers available and if you set it to be your default printer, then if you press the print button, a file is created instead of paper being wasted. I guess in honor of Earth Day this week, this is a green tip!
Use The Camera on Your Phone Creatively
Most cell phones that have come out in the last 3 years have a camera on it. So chances are you have one. Obviously you can use it to take photos of people, but there are some other nifty tips you can use it for. For instance, I never remember my license plate number. So I snapped a photo of it and it’s stored away on my phone. I can look it up any time. There’s plenty more tips — and be sure to check out the comments as a few people have added to the list!
As always, I really appreciate you visiting and subscribing to 170spoons.com. If you feel this site could be of use to others, please share it! If you’d like to subscribe to the weekly eNewsletter summary itself, please sign up here.
