Caution! - Warning About Counterfeit And Pirated Software
Why You Need a Backup - BEFORE Trouble Arises You might not think you need a backup service since you have an external hard drive. But you do! External hard drives can die without warning. You don't need to worry about that with Online Backup from Hartelco. We really recommend Online Backup as it has tremendous advantages over an external hard drive. It offers so much more assurance that your data, files, and precious photos and videos are safe. Your files are encrypted and copies of your files are stored on remote servers outside Nebraska. The servers are professionally maintained in a climate-controlled vault. There's no need to worry about losing data in the secure environment. Your external hard drive could crash at anytime without warning. Or an external hard drive could be accidentally knocked over and fall causing hard drive errors. There's any number of issues that could appear. Fire's always a threat, too. If your home or business burns, you'll have many other things that you will need to worry about. The data stored on your computer could be huge. And if your backup was also in your home or business that burned, what good is it? One of Online Backup's best features is that your data is stored offsite. Any catastrophe that occurs in your home or business won't affect your online backup. You'll be able to get your important files no matter what happens. If you used to worry about backups, it's time to relax. There's no need to worry anymore. The peace of mind is really important. Online Backup is a great service. And it's not very expensive for both the home user and business user. Contact Hartelco at 402-254-3901 for more information on Online Backup. And rest easy.
Reminder: Hartelco is doubling the size of email storage space for each of our Hartel.net customers. Please read carefully! Currently 50Mb of storage space is available for emails. This has now been doubled to 100Mg of storage space for each and every Hartel.net customer. In the past, if the size of your email waiting on our email server (also known as Hartel.net webmail) for you to download to your PC exceeded 50Mb, you would receive an email notice from us asking you to clear your account of unwanted emails. If after 10 days, the file size was not reduced to below 50Mg in size, your inbound email may have been blocked. This will no longer be the case. On a going-foward basis starting March 1st, if the 100Mb file space is exceeded, a $5/month fee will be automatically assessed for each additional 50Mb of space used above the initial 100Mb allotted to each customer's email. Again, this is only the amount of space used to store email in each customer's webmail account each month, and NOT the amount of email that is downloaded to your computer which is unlimited. Some email software have settings that keep a copy of all emails on our Hartel.net email server AFTER you've already downloaded them to your computer. This is also a way to protect emails that contain pictures and save documents with attachments in case of troubles with your home or business computer. Some customers use this file space as storage, which is fine as long as the 100Mb file space is not exceeded. To find out how much space your email account contains on our webmail server, just log into your webmail account by clicking on the View Mail icon in the top, right-hand corner of the Hartel.net homepage. You can use your normal email username and password to login to the webmail, where you will see your file space size in the top, right-hand corner just above the Trash button. Be sure to logout again once you are done viewing your email on our server. Webmail is also how you can check your Hartel.net email account when traveling or away from home. Again, please note that these size limits have no bearing whatsoever on the amount of email that you download to your computer. This is only regarding the amount of email that you store on our server. If you are concerned about spam email filling your allocated 100Mb of email storage space, we suggest using our Postini email filter. Postini is only $1/month and reduces the number of spam emails received by over 90%. Please contact our office at 402-254-3901 for more information on Postini, or if you have any questions regarding the size of your email/webmail account.

According to a recent report from Microsoft®, the number of customers who unknowingly purchased counterfeit and pirated Microsoft software has risen dramatically over the last two years. This software poses a serious risk to security, since studies around the world have shown that a high percentage of illegally copied or downloaded software contains spyware, malware, or other malicious code. Consumers who are duped by fraudulent software can encounter viruses, lose personal information, risk having their identities stolen, and waste valuable time and money. 
Answer: Hashtags are a community-driven way to label tweets (posts made to Twitter). They begin with the hash mark (#), followed by a word, phrase, or abbreviation—examples of hashtags include #americanidol and #lakers. When you insert a hashtag in your post, it makes it easy for Twitter users who don't already follow you (plus anyone searching Twitter) to find your public contributions to the discussion on that particular topic.
