Links for Sunday March 03, 2002

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!

Joe's Notes

Akhtar Badshah (click here for his bio) is Executive Director of Digital Partners; www.digitalpartners.org is actively engaged in tapping the entrepreneurial skills of those fortunate enough to be currently riding the waves of digital power. Joyfully techies, geeks, and nerds share knowledge in chat rooms and newsgroups. Freely help is given. People helping people seems to be human nature. The computer age has brought about a closeness never before experienced. What would it be like if this unique virtual fellowship were available even to third world countries? What if this could be aided and abetted by a sort of "digital peace corps?" Listen and learn how Digital Partners has started this process. You can be part of it. Digital Partners has the framework, organization, knowledge, backing, and especially the dedicated desire to make it happen. They are well-started on this task. The task is to take the underprivileged from an agrarian age, skipping over the industrial age, to the IT (information technology) age. Think of the beneficial effects on the environment alone!

While in the right side of the Windows Explorer screen, left-click a folder or file you want to move, then hold the left mouse button down and drag it to the left side. Then, without releasing the mouse button, hold the file over a folder with a [+] sign and the folder will open up, revealing subfolders. You can continue this "drilling" process until you reach your destination, then release the mouse button and drop the file into its new home.
