Users typically must have the appropriate multimedia application in order to view a Webcast.

This month we want to focus on motivation. The benefits of motivation are self-evident, so we want to get right to some famous words that will inspire us all to be our best. Enjoy!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Mark Twain
American Author

And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Anais Nin
American Author


Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt
26th President Of The United States


One hundred percent of the shots you don't take
don't go in.

Worm Alert

By now you’ve probably heard the good news that German authorities have a suspect in custody who has confessed to creating and disseminating the “Sasser” worm. Please keep in mind, however, that we are not out of the woods yet. Someone will most assuredly copy the Sasser source code and modify it to make it an even more vicious worm. Experts are also warning that we are likely headed for a new generation of worms that can constantly mutate. This will put an end to these glory days of viruses only costing a few billion dollars. We now have the luxury of brief respites between virus attacks, but that will soon be a thing of the past.

Protect yourself NOW. At a minimum, for your home and office, you need:

1. Updated antivirus software
2. All Windows Updates installed
3. A firewall (Windows XP has a built-in firewall that stops most worms)

Call Promethius if you would like help with any of the above items.
