Riverside Internet would like to wish all of our customers the very best during the upcoming Holidays. Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah. We certainly do not wish to offend anybody, so if you believe differently, we will simply say, be happy!

With Christmas and New Years day falling on Sunday this year, our Holiday hours are going to be just as they always are, Sats. Dec. 24 and Dec 31, 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. Closed Christmas and New Years Day.

Riverside Internet is very happy to offer Riverside Accelerator as a FREE service upgrade to all of our dial-up customers. That's right FREE.

Just download the software at http://www.riverview.net/ra.php.

For those of you using Propel Accelerator, it IS necessary to install the new software. As of Dec. 1 the Propel software will no longer be operational.

The Riverside Accelerator is available to non-Riverside Internet dial-up users, also, for a fee of $3.95 per month.

Due to some required changes that we are making to our network on Wednesday December 7, 2005 Riverside dial-up customers may experience problems accessing our services via the Newaygo number, 652-0456. We anticipate making the changes at approximately 8:00 A.M. The duration should be no longer than an hour or two. We would rather make the changes in the middle of the night when usage is very low, however, SBC cannot accomodate our wishes.

We sincerely thank you for your patience are very sorry for this inconvenience. As we stated, it is un-avoidable and we will do everything in our power to make this as short of a duration as possible.

We will be sending out a mass email a day or two prior to Dec. 7, to remind those of you who access the Internet using the Newaygo numbers.

The National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators (NAUPA) whose byline is " State governments working together to safeguard and return your lost funds", operates a website named MissingMoney.com. MissingMoney.com enables owners to perform comprehensive searches for lost assets required by law to be turned over to the states. All but about 15 states participate at this time.

We would like to remind you that our retail store has some great gift ideas for the computer geek in your house. From CD/DVD Burner upgrades to Memory and Hard Drive upgrades, we have a wide selection available. Also, we build custom computer system, which make great Christmas presents.

Send us your technical questions throughout the month. Each month we will answer, in detail, the one that we consider the best question here in the newsletter. We will award the person that asks that question one month of free Internet Access. E-mail your questions to newsletter@riverview.net
