Around Oct/Nov last year, I was attracted by the big advertisements from Aviva on their "Aviva BIG e" investment plan. It advertised that they can generate higher returns on the CPF which gives average of 3.5% PA interest.
After some consideration, I signed up the plan in Nov-07 with some money from my CPF.
Just few days ago, I received a postage mail from Aviva stating that the interest rate will be reduced to 2.75 % w.e.f from Jan-08.
What a disappointed!!

Mail Merge
Well, it is a new chapter of the year again. And, it is time to send greetings to friends & family.
Having this in mind, I would like to share with u all about Mail Merge features in Microsoft Word which u can make use of it. If you get to know how to use the mail merge, you can send E-mail to any number of people quickly. For example, u may use it for sending newsletter to customers; sending out holiday greetings to friends/family.
Using the Mail Merge is easier than what you may think. To start the mail merge process, launch the Microsoft Word. Next, on the Tools menu, point to Letters and Mailings, and then click Mail Merge... and then blah blah.
For details, please refer to:- http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA011095491033.aspx

Virtual PC and Virtual Server
The following article describes the differences between Virtual PC & Virtual Server:-
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/virtualserver/techinfo/vsvsvpc.mspx
In summary…
1. Virtual PC is a virtual machine software for running on desktop operating system whereas Virtual Server is a virtual machine software for running on server operating system.
2. Virtual PC is NOT free, but Virtual Server is free.
3. For Virtual PC, both the host operating system (the one on which you install Virtual PC) and the guest operating systems (the ones running inside virtual machines) must be desktop operating systems. For Virtual Server, supported host and guest operating systems are all server operating systems, except for Windows XP Professional, which is supported as a host operating system.
How can your use Virtual PC/Virtual Server?
There are a number of other ways you might want to use Virtual PC. For example, you may use Virtual PC at home so that your family can use it to surf the Internet. This can then eliminate worries about applications or files your family might download—those downloaded materials will not affect the host operating system. If the virtual machine becomes corrupted or infected with a virus, you can simply delete the virtual machine and start it over.
