subject: Law cases, codes, reviews, schools, etc.

subject: People at the weather channel, see them, read about them.
http://www.weather.com/twc/our_people/ocm/
You can return to their home page from here and access more than you ever wanted to know about the weather. You can send them mail, but they just read, they don't return mail. And you will notice, they don't include all their staff you see on TV weather. I sent a loud e-mail about that but it didn't do any good.

subject: Japanese midi music
You may have to download Crescendo first. (see Tips of the Trade:-) #2) 1/27/97.
I think it is worth the time to try this one. Get it started playing and go work on your word-processor it will keep playing until you decide to turn it off.

subject: Abstract/cool/weird
Try on this midi music if you like the abstract/weird/light a candle and turn down the lights, dude. Be abstract and cool at the same time.

Having trouble reading the e-mail in that small window?

(1) Just click on the "make it full screen" icon in the upper right of your screen. No, that is not the only way to do it. (2) Double click on the hilighted subject of the e-mail, you are then ready to read it, comment on it, make a note and forward the mail. No, that is not the only way to do it! (3) Use your mouse and make it point to the beginning of the body of the e-mail and holding down the left mouse button drag downward until all the body of the mail is highlighted. Click on Edit, then click on copy, click on start (I told you to keep that task bar where you can see it.), click on programs, select your favorite word-processor, click on new file when the word-processor is open. Then if the cursor is at beginning of document, click on edit, click on paste. You should see the e-mail very well now as a page in your word-processor. You can then read, save the file as a document, save to floppy, click on sent mail icon and send it, or just click on the "x" and it will evaporate into the galaxy of electrons to form little magnetic anomalies on your hard drive. Well, don't be concerned about it, I am just carrying on to see myself write. We can deal with those special events and topics later.

Did you ever want to tell someone about your favorite page you found somewhere on the web and wish you didn't have to write down that address?

You don't ever have to write down any of the page addresses. Huh? If you are on the page you would like to send to someone, just click on Mail icon, click on Send Link, click on Address icon, select person to send mail to, write them a note about the site and send them the link.

You said, "I guess that is the only way to send links". No, of course not! You want to send several links in one e-mail? (1) point to the right end of the address, when it becomes highlighted, then click right mouse button, select copy. Select e-mail button that you have minimized in Taskbar. Select edit in e-mail screen, and paste into body of e-mail. Click on WWW icon in task bar and go to new favorite web page (hopefully you have it already saved as a favorite) and repeat this process with the next address. Either save e-mail or sent it.
(2) Links can be accumulated in your word-processor document and printed, saved, or copied onto clipboard and back into e-mail later using similar steps as mentioned above.

Want something to relax by now? Think about something except cyberspace? .. Try the UFO site ... I believe they have landed here and left their mark .... look at the burn marks, and the impressions left in the soil .... man, could we live without aliens from other worlds? No, they are too much fun!

What to read about special reports from the U.S. Census Bureau?
http://www.census.gov/http://www.census.gov/
Pick a topic, such as agriculture, crops.

OK, Aggie boys you have finally found a site you can get you teeth into ... check it out you will see what I mean. If it doesn't work on your computer, remember to go to Brian's and say that Cowboy Jerry sent you in to upgrade your computer. You are missing too much ... get the memory added on, the good speakers, get the Giggie hard drives and go for it. If your still waiting for technology to level out, I'm sorry .. it ain't gonna happen! They probably told Edison, "Dude, I am not buying one of those until the light bulb is perfected". Look how many people would still be in the dark today if they were still waiting for that perfect bulb.

Don't forget to go by Bryans and buy one of the Pentium computers with lots of good sound, or ask Chuck to upgrade that old clunker. :-)
