1) Peeking thru WINDOWS "Tasty Tidbits"
Create a new text document on your desktop and name it
Tidbits. When you come across a tip,
quote, recipe, joke,
or such that you'd like save for the future, copy and paste
it into your Tidbits file rather than saving the entire email
or newsletter. You'll save not only the
info, but also disk
space, and reduce file clutter too! As
your Tidbit file
grows, simply use the Find option to track down a desired
item when required!

2) FANTASTIC FILE FIND! - "Chicken Shoot 2 [4806 Kb/EXE]
Leave those turkeys alone for a bit!
Take a shot at some
chickens instead. Last year, there was a hot little chicken
shoot making the rounds by the name of Moorhuhn
("more hen") and now it's back better than before!
This year, German software whiz Frank Ziemlinski gives
us Moorhuhn 2 with sharper graphics, more chickens,
additional auxiliary targets, and extra fun!
Download this nugget and have something on hand to
entertain the kids before dinner plus you'll satisfy your
primitive hunting urges in a way battling down the
supermarket aisle does not!

3) SEEN THESE SITES? - "Fried Turkey/Wacky Uses"
Okay, it's getting down to the last minutes, the relatives
are about to knock on the door, and you suddenly realize
that the oven is on the fritz. What are you going to do
with that naked 15-pound bird waiting to be roasted?
Not to worry! With a few simple
components (135,000 BTU
outdoor propane burner, 9-gallon pot, 5 gallons of peanut
oil) you can fry that turkey in 45 minutes, serve a
delicious meal to all the nieces and nephews and do it
with flair! Face it, doesnt the element
of risk that
comes with potentially incinerating yourself along with
your bird add to the enjoyment of dinner preparation?
Get the lowdown on the procedure, complete with photos
of the evolving process (over the past four years) delivered
with a homey and humorous touch "Everywhere we fry one,
people are always impressed, and scared."
Remember, a good laugh improves the appetite!

4) EMAIL FUNNIES - "Electronic Ballot" [99 Kb/EXE]
It is always a delight when I can pass on the newest of
technological advances to my readers.
Therefore, it is
with great pleasure I present a much better alternative
to the "paper-punch" ballots that caused such problems
in the recent election. The Electronic Ballot is here!

5) The MOUS Hole - "Spaced Out"
Working in Word? Here's how to quickly
change from
single line spacing to double-spacing:
Place your insertion point in the paragraph you want
to change (or select multiple paragraphs) then:
* Ctrl-1 for single-spacing,
* Ctrl-5 for line-and-a-half,
* and Ctrl-2 for double-spacing.

6) THEY SAID IT
"In case you're worried about what's going to become
of
the younger generation, it's going to grow up and start
worrying about the younger generation."

7) HODGEPODGE
With the huge demand for airline seats this year, I've
found a primate that's taking matters into his own hands.
Also tracked down the story of the chatty burglar that
should have just gone about his business, but instead
he
well, you'll see. Drop by the Basement:
