Be careful about e-mail greeting cards!
Mar 3rd, 2008 by Beth

I recently received a Hallmark greeting card from a “friend” in my email in box.  The message was NOT, however, a greeting card from a friend. It was an attempted attack on my machine.  Since I use a Mac, I didn’t have to worry about this particular trojan.  The evildoers who propagated this trojan want you to install zapchast on your Windows computer by clicking on their link and use it to do bad deeds.  More information can be found here >> http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/SearchResults.aspx?query=zapchast

What can you do to protect yourself? First of all, install a reputable security application on your PC, from a company such as Symantec or McAfee and KEEP IT UPDATED!  We can do this for you as part of our Virtual IT service. I don’t open anything with attachments from people I don’t know, or anything that I haven’t asked for or know about in advance, really. In fact, I don’t open greeting cards and those types of things ever, since I have an aversion to animated stuff with what I consider to be unpleasant music. I still send greeting cards via snail mail. :)

If you have Internet or network security needs, please give our office a call and schedule an appointment.  Call (910) 695-7068, ext. 10.  Be careful out there!

The Magnolia Inn in Pinehurst NC
Mar 2nd, 2008 by Beth

At the corner of Magnolia and Chinquapin Rd., in the heart of historic Pinehurst, stands the elegant Magnolia Inn. Graceful longleaf pines and fragrant magnolias surround this stately 110 year old Inn. Step right off our front porch into the village, where you can find a variety of shops, restaurants and galleries. Or you can take a horse drawn carriage and tour the winding streets of this quaint New England-style village.

Our area has been host for several Tour Championships, The Senior US OPEN, The US Women’s OPENS in 1996, 2001, and 2007, The 1999 US OPEN, and most recently The 2005 US OPEN. It was in 1895 that James Tufts purchased the land on which the Village of Pinehurst and the Magnolia Inn sit today. All 11 guest rooms have private baths, cable TV and central air. We also offer complimentary high speed Internet access. The abundance of period antiques reflecting the charm of the Victorian era make staying at the Magnolia Inn a memorable experience. You can step into the cozy hardwood halls of the Magnolia’s own English style pub for an evening of fun and a casual dinner, or dine outside, poolside, or on the front porch, or you may choose to dine in our dining room featuring the same casual atmosphere while enjoying upscale cuisine. A Private dining room is also available. To learn more about our food and beverage offerings, talented culinary staff, restaurant and bar facilities, please visit our Dining page.

The small staff of the Magnolia Inn is an integral part of its charm and success. This diverse group includes Innkeepers Jackie and Dan Berry, the golf package coordinator Maggie Sanger, and our Executive Chef Ryan Payne.

The Magnolia Inn offers a variety of options for its visitors. For the vacationing golfer, there are over 45 golf courses in the Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen area, and most have pre-arranged privileges and golf packages for the Magnolia Inn guests.
