MAS 90/200
New StarShip Freight Coming Soon We'll soon be introducing an additional Sage MAS 90 and 200 shipping module, StarShip Freight, for packing and shipping larger shipments. The existing StarShip module will be referred to as StarShip Parcel, and continue to be used for shipping packages using carriers such as UPS® and Federal Express. StarShip Freight meets the requirements of carriers such as Roadway and Yellow Freight for less-than-truckload (LTL) and truckload (TL) shipments by providing item level detail and printing the Bill of Lading (BOL). StarShip Freight incorporates the ability to shop for the best rates using freightquote.com carriers, our mutual customers' own negotiated rates, or a mixture of both. Before making a selection, the transit time and freight charges are displayed, and once shipped, tracking information on shipment location and status is provided. Included in StarShip Freight is an efficient Shipping Assistant that simplifies pick-and-pack functionality. As shipments are processed, the Shipping Assistant remembers packaging scenarios, and provides those as auto-packing options in the future. A sophisticated two-tiered approach to packaging captures the item detail for each box, plus the box details for each pallet. For more information, download the StarShip Freight spec sheet PDF, the FAQs , or call us today.

Tips & Tricks
Forward Slash Backslash Forward slash is /, and backslash is \\. I remember that the name tells me in which direction the top of the slash points. Forward slashes tell your computer you're looking for something external to your system, like web pages. Backslashes tell your computer you're looking for something inside your system, like a drive or a file.

This has been circulating lately, have you seen it yet? This list was put together by Mr. Mike Healan, who works for Spywareinfo. If you think about it, they make a lot of sense in keeping ourselves and our computers safe. "The Ten Net Commandments." 1.) Thou shalt not buy merchandise found in pop up ads or spam. 2.) Thou shalt not post thy e-mail address, phone number, address or social security number on the Internet, nor shalt thou post anyone else's. 3.) Thou shalt not forget to update thy Windows every second Tuesday. 4.) Thou shalt not connect to the Internet without installing an antivirus, nor shalt thou begin a scan without checking for updates. 5.) Thou shalt not connect to the Internet without installing a firewall. 6.) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's credit card number, nor his bank routing number, nor his social security number. 7.) Thou shalt not enter thy credit card number without seeing the tiny padlock icon on thy status bar. 8.) Thou shalt not reply to the e-mail from the Nigerian banker. 9.) Thou shalt not forward chain letters to thy friends and family. 10.) Thou shalt not use "password" as thy password, nor thy birthday, nor thy childrens' names.
