WITandWISDOM(tm) - October 26, 2001 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: "It is a mistake to look too far ahead. One link in the chain of destiny can be handled at a time." - Winston Churchill By Neil Eskelin in Neil Eskelin's Daily Jump Start(tm), Copyright (c) 2001, http://www.neileskelin.com ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: WAITING FOR THE RAINBOW By Becky Hutzel When the sun has hidden it's shining face And storm clouds rise to take it's place The winds explode in rushing gusts In God I put my hope and trust When darkness shrouds the rocky plain And all I feel is fear and pain When trials like fire come roaring through The days that once had brilliant hue When sorrow floods my weary soul Drowning joy, once filling me full I run to the Rock that is higher than I To wait for the rainbow in the sky. By Becky Hutzel, Copyright (c) 2001, beckychildofgrace@hotmail.com ~~~~~~~ THIS & THAT: A SUMMARY OF THE WORLD FACTS If we could shrink the Earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people.......with all existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look like this: There would be 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the Western Hemisphere (North and South) and 8 Africans. 51 would be female; 49 male 70 would be nonwhite; 30 white. 70 would be non-Christian; 30 Christian. 50% of the entire world's wealth would be in the hands of only 6 people, and all 6 would be citizens of the United States. 80 would live in substandard housing. 70 unable to read. 50 would suffer from malnutrition. 1 would be near death, 1 would be near birth Only 1 would have a college education. No one would own a computer !! Submitted by Terry Galan ~~~~~~~ KEEP SMILING: A six-year-old ran up and down the supermarket aisles shouting frantically, "Marian, Marian!" Finally reunited with his mother, he was chided by her, "You shouldn't call me 'Marian.' I'm your mother, you know." "I know," said the child, "but the store is full of mothers."

I can't remember how I did it. Any idea? A: To get your windows to "tile" like that, right-click the taskbar (in the area where your active programs sit) and select either Tile Windows Horizontally or Tile Windows Vertically from the resulting menu. If you don't like the effect, hitting CTRL-Z right after you do it will undo it. This is a really handy way to work with multiple windows. There is something you need to look out for though. When you tile your windows, you sometimes end up with windows smaller than you may like. Most programs remember what size they were the last time they were closed, so if you close one of these windows while it's small, it may come up that same small size the next time you run the program. Just re-size the window when close it to avoid this problem. Source: Computer Tips, http://www.coolnewsletters.com |
