Links for Sunday August 18, 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!

VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a freeware client/server software package that allows remote control of another computer via a network. Although we have used VNC and liked it very much, we are impressed with the latest version--

TightVNC runs faster and is more versatile than the original VNC. You should give TightVNC a try.

After quite a few years of work by many people, Mozilla 1.0 is finally available. If you've never tried Mozilla, now is the time. Note that this doesn't mean that work on Mozilla stops now. You can still visit the Mozilla site and download the latest version. In fact, as we write this, Mozilla 1.1 Alpha is available for download.

To create a link to a web address in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you can choose File|Send|Shortcut to Desktop. You can also create a shortcut directly on the desktop without even running Microsoft Internet Explorer.

To create a web page URL shortcut, right-click a blank spot on your desktop and choose New|Shortcut. When the Create Shortcut wizard opens, type in the URL in the form http://www.whatever.xxx and click Next. Type in a name for your new shortcut and click Finish.

You can now double-click your new shortcut to open IE and navigate to the selected page--assuming that Microsoft Internet Explorer is your default browser.

If you have a scanner attached to your computer, there's no need to consider buying a copy machine--just use a software copy program. The one we have in mind is called Copying Machine.

Copying Machine works with Windows computers that have both a TWAIN scanner and a printer attached.
