• If you are looking for a way to pay your bill locally, look no further! All locations of the Bank of Yellville will accept your payment for Natco Internet Service. If you pay your bill any given day by their posting/closing business time, your payment will be posted that day. If your payment is made after the posting/closing business time, your payment will be posted the next day.

• Remember to keep your inbox, sent items, and deleted items in your mail program as clean as possible. Doing this will improve your system's performance. If you get rid of items you no longer need, your system will have less data to process when you open your mail program. Printing out your e-mail as you go is a good idea. That way, you can keep your inbox clean as you read your mail but you still have the information in hard copy in case you need it later.
  
  
• If you use Outlook Express as your mail program, it's best not to use a preview pane. There are new viruses that can infect your system when you highlight the message if a preview pane is visible. Even though the virus is contained within an attachment, you do not have to open the attachment to release the virus - all you have to do is open or preview the message itself.
  
  Remember - never open an e-mail from someone you don't know and never open an e-mail with an attachment if you are not expecting it unless you first confirm it with the sending party.
  
  
• In the recent past, working with suppliers or partners on a project meant getting everyone together in the same room, distributing stacks of documents and files and hashing out ideas. Bringing everyone together took up office space, travel and expense, as well as other office resources such as paper, printer and/or copier ink and workers' time.

  Many people are looking at collaboration tools as a way to reduce the cost of projects while increasing the effectiveness of collaboration. Natco offers many solutions to these same concerns for its customers. Innovative programs like Net Meeting, video conferencing and Natco's phone bridge can help people conduct meetings without having to travel, thus reducing expenses. For more information on one or all of these services, contact a Natco customer representative at 1-800-775-6682 or e-mail: custserv@natconet.com.
