The Hunger Site

At first glance, The Hunger Site might look like one of those sick Internet jokes that you see. Something along the lines of sending email to fictitious ill children. But this isn't the case -- The Hunger Site is for real. Every time you click the "Donate Free Food" button, the site sponsors donate money to supply one cup of food to a hungry person. This is for real -- the hungry victims really do get the food. As you might imagine, many people would click the button hundreds of times a day to help supply more food. Please avoid this temptation -- each person (URL) is allowed only one click per day. More clicks don't count. Click here to access The Hunger Site.

AlaskaJoe's Tips  

Windows Tip: Delete Files without Using the Recycle Bin

Stop messing around with the Recycle Bin. You can instantly delete files with a simple key combination.

By Roman Loyola

If you think about it, you actually have to do a lot of work to delete a file. First, you have to send it to the Recycle Bin, either by dragging it there, or by right-clicking on a file and selecting Delete. Then if you want to get rid of the file once and for all, you have to go and empty the Recycle Bin.

If you know you want to get rid of a file permanently, and you don't want to hassle with emptying the Recycle Bin, there is a simple key combination you can use. When you use this key combination, the file doesn't sit in the Recycle Bin; it goes away completely.

Web Tip: Full Screen View
Free yourself of that dull, gray toolbar.

By Chris Kraus

Tired of viewing webpages with an Internet Explorer border of toolbars and shades of gray? If you're like me, and want to see the full webpage, use this trick. Press the F11 Key in Internet Explorer and view your browser window with a full screen. Press F11 to return to the normal IE browser window.

Web Tip: Tab Through Forms
By Chris Kraus

Have you ever filled out a form online? Usually, you start by entering your first name in one box. Move your cursor to the second box to enter your last name. This continues through the entire form. If you use your mouse to navigate online forms, try something faster.

Use your Tab key to move from box to box to fill out an online form quickly. If you need to move backwards through the form, use Tab + Shift.

Web Tip: Bookmarks Out of Control?
By Jerry Day

It happens to everyone. You've been surfing the Web for an hour or so, and all of a sudden, you realize you've created a huge list of bookmarks (or favorites). Unfortunately, it's almost as time-consuming to scan through your list as it is to just type in the site addresses. Here's how you can put your bookmarks in order.

Internet Explorer 5 and up:

On the Favorites menu, click on Organize Favorites.
Click on the Create Folder button.
Type a name and press Enter.
Repeat the steps above as necessary.
Drag the shortcuts in the list to the appropriate folders.

Netscape Navigator 4 and up:

On the Communicator menu, go to Bookmarks, then Edit Bookmarks.
Go to File, then New Folder.
Name the folder and click OK.
Repeat the steps above as necessary.
Drag any bookmark on your list into the folders you've created.

Web Tip: Back Up Your Bookmarks and Favorites
By Jerry Day

Here's a problem that comes up a lot. You're surfing the Net at home and find a cool website. Now you're at work and want to check it out. Wouldn't it be nice to have that site available on your work PC?

Good news! Internet Explorer's favorites and Netscape's bookmarks are easily portable.

You can save your bookmark file, put in on a floppy, and take it with you.

Internet Explorer

Choose File, import and export.  
The export wizard will pop up.
Click next and choose export favorites.
Click through two more times and you'll see two options.
Choose export to a file or address.
Choose where you want to save it and click next again.
You've now created a file called bookmark.htm that you can take with you anywhere.

Netscape

It's even easier. Under the communicator menu, choose bookmarks.
Then choose edit bookmarks.
Now click the file menu and choose save as.
Choose where you want to keep it and you're done.
