Lighthouse 3D Screensaver - This screensaver brings
the serenity of the seaside to your computer. Any lighthouse has a
million stories to tell - from courage and struggle to the simple
lifestyle of the lighthouse keeper. They are told by the murmur of the
ocean, the cries of the seagulls, and the songs of the wind. Listen to
these soothing sounds and watch the eye-pleasing scenery! Forget about
all you problems and dive into this world of relaxation and
meditation. Possibly the closest you can get to enjoying the ocean's
negative ions! [Download

answer comes down to the classic printing issues: price, quality,

This intoxicating beverage has caused sane people to do insane things.

Throughout this series, I have assumed that seniors were working
on PCs with some version of windows. But we have not considered in
detail the advantages of the various programs that seniors might work
with. For instance, they probably use Internet Explorer to browse and
Outlook Express for their mail. Most likely the tutors use neither for
their main programs. At the least, this means that the tutor must be
familiar with the quirks of... [Continued]

As you learned in a previous article, PowerPoint 2002 gives you

how to schedule a broadcast. Once you have completed this step, you
are ready to set up your presentation for the broadcast. As with most
presentations, you usually want to spend a few minutes before you
start to get things organized. The same holds true when you plan to

One of the ways in which you can open Control Panel applets is to
use the run command. Each Control panel applet can be launched from
the Windows\System32 directory by double clicking the corresponding
.cpl file. By issuing the direct command from the Run command, you can
quickly open an applet. For example, to open the Add or Remove

I am not a real big fan of screensavers. When I am away from my
