Attack of the Killer Computer
by Christina Barr
 Have you ever held your computer out the window by its wires after a fruitless pursuit of web information? Have you done your orangutan dance in hopes of inspiring divine internet mediation to rain down all the answers you’ve been searching for? Do you plead with your search engine, or tempt it with candy, for some sort of lead on that restaurant you’ve been wanting to try but can’t quite remember the name or address of? Well, Lady Luck is on your side. Suzon (publisher of Connected Now) has had an epiphany, and is here to save the day for all surfers and surfettes.
Connected Now launches Sacramento?s first internet and magazine directory for a plethora of the region?s businesses and their respective websites. Wanna get that long-awaited and well-deserved mani/pedi? Connected Now can show you the light of local nail salons, and might even feature some of our favorites. If you?re a weekend warrior, go to ConnectedNow.com and search our list of home-repair related companies and sites. Even if you just like to shop from the comfort of your home, give Connected Now a chance to help you find what you?re looking for locally. Hey, we all live in this extended community, and what better way to foster a wonderful life than to support our own family of brave business people while having more fun and experiencing the most our region has to offer. The ultimate purpose of Connected Now is to help tame this wild beast we call the internet, throwing a few reins over its bulky head and corralling it just enough to hop on its back and take a ride. We aim to make everything you?re looking for available in one location ? ConnectedNow.com. If you?re a fanatical surfer, check out our online directory with links to all of our listed businesses. If you?re a wee bit timid, or are in the pulling-out-hair stages of ?puter frustration, we welcome you to pick up a copy of our magazine. Either way, you will be able to have some direction and organization to suit your needs, as well as witty yet deceivingly informative articles to make life a little easier and much more interesting.
In one fantastically user-friendly environment, you will be able to find links for thousands of local interests, including dining and entertainment, sports venues, schools and hospitals, car repair and services, plus a calendar of events. Connected Now is designed with you in mind. We are here to help make sense of that World Wide Web, in particular all those local stores and services that seem to elude your grasp. With so much so close, it seems silly not to partake regionally rather than send money to Nome, Alaska or Chiang Mai, Thailand. Not that we discourage global business; however we like our community and want you to be aware of what’s available so close to home.
Look for our magazine in September 2004. Until then, and after, come for a visit at ConnectedNow.com and
ConnectSac.com. We’ll be waiting with milk and cookies!
