BITS AND BYTES... to make PC-life more fun and easy!

Did you know your computer has a complete Geek-Speak
handbook inside?
It's called Tips.txt and you can find it using the Find function.
The Tips.txt file can be opened in Notepad by double clicking
the file. A lot of keyboard shortcuts are listed there, but not
nearly the information the folks at the Newbie Club have
compiled into their little ebooklet, called "Keyboard Magic!"
This is a MUST HAVE for anyone working with a PC, and I'm
sure you'll want to pick up your own copy from:

WEIRD NEWS
-------------------------------------------------------------
A boat skipper fishing off France's northern Brittany coast
hauled up around 900 bottles of vintage champagne. "We
were hauling up our second net when one of the crew shouted
'Champagne!' I thought we had got a good catch,'' said the
Captain. The champagne was famed Veuve Cliquot bubbly,
dated 1978, 1979 and 1984. In all, the crew hauled up crates
containing around 2,000 bottles.
A Brazil-based Internet site started transmitting burials from
graveyards across the Americas and parts of Europe to bereaved
absentees via the Web, the site's founder said on Monday. "We'll
have cameras installed in the cemeteries that can film any
moment of the event the family requests,'' said Pepe Alstut,
the brains behind the site, http://www.vidaperpetua.com.br
dubbed "Perpetual Life." (Reuters)
A prison inmate in California found out the hard way not public
decency counts... even in prison. The 29 year-old received his
third strike under California's "Three Strikes and You're Out"
law, mandating a 25 years to life in prison sentence, after
flashing prison guards.
Patrick Mahoney was jailed after his cell phone rang in a
courtroom. He had gone there with his teenage son, who
was appearing in traffic court to show proof he was insured.
As Mahoney walked out to answer the call, deputies stopped
him, and took him handcuffed to a holding cell. He spent a
restless night alone in a cell before being released the next
morning. The judge didn't like being interrupted by cell
phones and pagers. (Chicago Sun Times)

------------------------------------------------------------
"There's a way of transferring funds that is even faster
than electronic banking. It's called marriage."
- James Holt McGavran
"I'm really glad the guy who invented the Ray Gun was

sound as cool."
- Bob Neanover
"Millions of Americans welcomed Labor Day. It's the one
day they can escape the grueling drudgery of surfing the
Internet at work."

USER TIP
------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a cool way to switch between tasks. Hold down the Alt
button and press the tab key. A small box will appear showing
the various programs that are running on your computer. You
just keep hitting the tab key to move through them, then release
the Tab and Alt keys to move to that new program.
This method allows you to keep your hands on the keyboard
instead of reaching for the mouse to switch between programs.
The stuff you see to the right of the taskbar is not included in
the list when you do the Alt-tab thing.
