==============================================
Bit of a change in order this week, to feature
a very special announcement!
1) SEEN THESE SITES? “BasementNoises”
Only one site this week – the new home for Noises!
I’d like to cordially invite you to the Grand Opening
of our new digs – BasementNoises.com is here!
While I’m still moving in, right now you’ll find archives for
past newsletters, files, and email funnies already in place.
Plus, new feature Bozos and Bizzaros, and
the Weekly Photo Funny, available only in the Basement!!
Coming soon: online polls, contests, and chat rooms.
Give it a visit, and let me know what you think!

2) Peeking thru WINDOWS “Start ‘Em Up””
Click and drag any object from the desktop and drop it onto
the Start button to add it to the Start Menu.
All items will
be placed in the User Area, above Programs.
To remove any
objects you’ve added, simply click and drag them back to
your Desktop if you want to keep them; or right-click on the
item.and choose Delete.
3) FANTASTIC FREE FEATURED FILE! “ISSHS”
[213 Kb/EXE]
Instant Screen Saver Hot Spot! This
Windows program
will place an icon in your system tray (where it displays
the date/time). When you want to start
the screen saver
that you selected through Windows 95/98, you simply move your
mouse pointer on top of the icon and leave it there. After
a set number of seconds (user-definable) have expired,
your screen saver will start to run.

5) The MOUS Hole ”Word Web Capture”
Use MS Word and the following simple technique when
you’d like to capture a portion of a web page.
If you’d
later like to edit or format the information, perhaps a
recipe, procedure, or product description, do this:
I) While in Word, display the Open File
dialogue box.
II) Type the desired web page address
for the File name,
be sure to include the http:// at
the front.
III) If you are not on the Net, Word will prompt you to
connect. It then opens the web page
in a Read-Only
Word window.
IV) Use the Save As command to save file as a Word
document, then edit to your heart’s
desire!
This is also be used as a teaching/learning aid to
investigate how web pages are built!
6) THEY SAID IT
”Experience teaches you to recognize a mistake when
you’ve made it again” - Anon.
7) HODGEPODGE – “Wanted - Test Subjects?”
Periodically, I’ll be testing some of the newest Internet
services and products available. I’m
looking for a few
adventurous types to help me investigate these for reviews
in NFTB. If you’d like to participate, please email
feedback@BasementNoises and include TESTER in the
subject line for more information.
Thanks!
I’d like to know what you think. How can
NFTB better serve
