REGISTER FOR ANNUAL SESSION ONLINE
Have you registered for this year’s annual session in Las Vegas yet? If you haven’t, why not take care of your registration quickly and securely online?

Visit "www.ada.org/goto/session" to complete your registration any time of day or night. By registering for this year’s meeting, you will gain access to a host of session activities and events, including

– entry into general sessions and the Johnson & Johnson Distinguished Speaker Series featuring Sir Richard Branson, chairman of the Virgin group of companies, and Ted Koppel, long-time host of Nightline and 42-year veteran of ABC News;
– more than 300 scientific sessions over four days, three-quarters of which are free to registered attendees;
– educational opportunities for the entire dental team;
– entry into the ADA Marketplace, featuring more than 700 exhibitors of dental products and services;
– satellite symposia offered by some of the industry’s most respected companies.

The deadline for advance registration is Sept. 22. Register and book a room in the ADA hotel block before then to be entered into a drawing for airfare giveaways, free tickets to Las Vegas shows and more.

For dentists who are not ADA members, the Association is again offering an opportunity to attend annual session at a discounted rate: the nonmember fee has been reduced from $750 to $75. Non-members who took advantage of this offer in 2005 are not eligible for this reduced rate.

The registration process requires a valid credit card and e-mail address and takes just a few minutes. ADA members should have their member numbers handy. For more information or to register, go to "www.ada.org/goto/session".

SUPPORT FOR OLDER EDITIONS OF WINDOWS TO END
If you’re running an older version of Microsoft’s Windows operating system on your computer, now may be a good time to upgrade.

Microsoft recently posted a reminder on its Web site informing Windows users that public and technical support for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition and Windows Millennium Edition will end on July 11 of this year.

According to Microsoft, the company "is ending support for these products because they are outdated and these older operating systems can expose customers to security risks." Microsoft recommends that those running older editions of Windows "upgrade to a new, more secure Microsoft operating system, such as Windows XP, as soon as possible."

While technical support and security updates for these older operating systems will end on July 11, online "self-help support" will be available from the Microsoft Support Web site until at least July 11, 2007, according to the software vendor. For more information, go to "http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifean18".

Microsoft recently pushed back the public release of its next major update to Windows, Windows Vista, to January 2007.
