      I didn't even know Gateway still existed. Go figure.

        Yep, I've never owned one, but it's a good cheap machine for my wife. Actually, it's a really nice machine.

        They've come a long way… I bought a gateway recently and I have no complaints.

        Also, I guess I'm not Jim's friend :p

      Hi,
      There are many benefits to using Gateway business VoIP. These are making a huge difference for businesses that commonly use VOIP services. Due to the fact that VOIP services have become so popular in recent years, its no wonder that there is such a huge demand for these types of products.

      Great resources Jim – just like to also add and recommend ProductShotPro – eBook cover software too.
      It's basically the Rolls Royce of product display software and is an absolute life saver when you need to create a professional graphic of your products to display on your sites.

      Also Freemind is a great app for working out your mindmaps and ideas.
      Thanks again for the great list – consider it bookmarked!

      If you have not read Jim's book, Attention! do that first. Otherwise you are not going to get much out of these resources because you won't really understand what to do with them. That being said, these are the best tools around! Great collection!

      Thanks Jim!

      Hey Jim
      Taking some of your advice to heart. Thanks for the kick in the ass. BTW, I LOVE Bee Pollen too and take it faithfully, (will check out JoeBees.com), but if that has worked for you check out OPC-3 – hands down the single best supplement I have EVER come across as an anitoxidant/anti-inflammatory product. It works well due to it's isotonic delivery. Check it out. http://bit.ly/fwySSE
