Hope that everyone�s Valentine�s Day was a happy one. I saw a friend without a smile yesterday and sent her a Valentine�s card from �Someone who Cares.� She spent the day searching for the person that sent the card. No one admitted to sending it but they all said they cared too. She had a happier day and never knew who sent the email greeting card.

Today was one of those days. I had to read everything I found for these pages and naturally I had to do not one but several of the puzzles listed (last link in this section). It was so much fun it took me a long time to get on with writing this newsletter. It is probable that I am still a kid at heart. U.S. Department of Energy site provides information on Internet hoaxes, chain letters, Internet cookies and a Virus database. I think it is important to know what is a hoax and chain letter. So many people send on chain letters and hoax letters without even knowing that they are doing so. This site is great because it is updated almost daily and allows one to know what is going on with chain letters, hoaxes and what virus is out there. As a computer user this site is an important one to bookmark and go back to often. http://ciac.llnl.gov/ Vocanoes http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/volc/ Leap Year and Possible Y2K Problems http://www.emailman.com/leapday/index.html CNN Leap Year and Possible Y2K Problems http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9903/05/leapyr.y2k.idg/ How to Calculate Leap Year http://www.mitre.org/research/cots/LEAPCALC.html BetaBooks - pre-release books from Mc-Graw Hill. http://www.books.mcgraw-hill.com/betabooks/ BrowserWatch Online Magazine http://browserwatch.internet.com/ Dailpad - Make free unlimited phone calls without downloading any programs.
