If anyone would like to download a US Flag for their email or web site here are a few I found.
To download any Flag just right click on it and click on Save Picture as:
Keep your flag outside all of the time.
Remember the flag must be lit up at night. So leave it out all night, just put a light on it.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

About "YAH Man"
Eric Leebow (YAH Man), age 24 and the author of the You Are Here book series has been into computers ever since he was a kid. Eric was fascinated with computers as early as 9 years old when he would play games on the computer and in his spare time would draw up creations of what he envisioned to be the future of computers. Not only was Eric right about many of today's technologies, he is using them on a daily basis. In 1996, Eric went off to college and got his fist email address and as a student surfed his way through college exploring the Internet utilizing it for his studies and entertainment. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Business and Economics with major in Marketing from Lehigh University in 2000. Eric has helped family, friends, and associates get the best of the Web by keeping them informed with the latest on the Net. In 2001, Eric started Yahbooks Publishing to share his Internet joy and make the Internet fun and enjoyable experience for everyone. Eric believes that the Internet should be used as a tool to make our lives easier. There are times that we need to get out of the virtual world and explore the real world. Eric's other interests include running, basketball, juggling, reading, and art. Eric is always interested in trying out new things too. He believes there is no limit to creativity.

ConXis is a not-for-profit conference dedicated to independent broadcasters in the internet streaming industry. This is the first year that ConXis will be held; it will initially be small, but we expect attendance to grow with each subsequent year. Right now, there are a few conferences held for the internet streaming industry, but we feel that one group that is being excluded is the core of the industry - the independent broadcaster.

Most conferences focus on the "big" players in the industry, but historically, that is not where the growth in this industry has been. Just take a look at www.live365.com or www.Shoutcast.com and you will know where the heart of the industry lies. This is a virtually untapped market.

Speakers scheduled to appear include Michael Bryant of Sonic Foundry, David Frerichs from iM Networks, "DJ Ari" Ari Shohat from the #1 Shoutcast station - DigitallyImported.com, representatives from ASCAP and other , and many more leaders in the video and audio streaming industries. More detailed information of topics and speakers is available on the ConXis website.

The purpose of ConXis is to expand the resources available to an independent broadcaster. Resources that will help them be part of this growing internet streaming industry that The Wall Street Journal has estimated will be a $2.6 billion industry by the end of 2003.

We hope to foster a free exchange of ideas so that we can become a strong community of broadcasters and work together to allow internet streaming (both video and audio) to continue to grow and fulfill its market potential. Especially now, when broadband internet is becoming a mainstay in homes around the world, we need to act to give broadcasters the very resources they need to succeed.

Such is the purpose of ConXis. We keep our rates at a reasonable level so that independent broadcasters can afford to attend this event. We are a not-for-profit conference, so we are merely providing a service to the community and not trying to make money off of this venture.

The cost for full-registration is $309 per person, which includes breakfast and lunches, admittance to the conference and expo, the Friday Night Dance Party, The ConXis Gong Show on Saturday, and more.

If you would like more information about ConXis, please visit our website at http://www.conxis.org.

Consider attending the event to learn what some of the key issues are with the very heart of this growing industry.

Connecting two computers together via cables is no easy task. If you have attempted to do this using the Windows Direct Cable Connection (DCC) wizard and are still experiencing problems, then it could be because of a missing protocol. Right-click on the Network places icon
and select the Configuration tab. Add the protocol IPX/SPX. After adding, select it within the Configuration tab and click the Properties button. Now, bind IPX/SPX to the Dial-Up adapter on BOTH the host and guest computer.

When Windows 98 and Me are initially installed, they run a DLL called WinAlign. This utility will place your applications in a specific location within memory so that they will load faster when executed. You also should have this utility within your task scheduler. If you do not
normally leave your computer on to run tasks, it is still a good idea to occasionally run this utility from the task scheduler. To see which programs WinAlign has set to align, you can look at Winali.ini.
