What's In This Issue:

Lots of coincidences in this issue.  I guess we in the Fleet must think alike.  Without even knowing what each other was writing this month, we seem to have come upon some common threads.

For example:

  • Our Featured Article by Tina Clarke is all about the settings you use in FrontPage to assure your styles are seen exactly the way you want them to be seen on your website.  She briefly discusses CSS and then, Kathleen Anderson takes the CSS ball and runs with it.
  • I happened to use "msconfig" as an example in my "Soapbox" article, of something you can search for using a search engine and actually gave you the link I found.  Then in comes Hal Cardona's article on System Resources where he suggests using msconfig as one means of maximizing your resources.
  • Chad Welch's VBA column this month is all about cleaning up the code that the MS Office programs create when you run the Macro Recorder, then Chas Kenyon tells us just how to use this Macro Recorder in Word.

Ah yes.....truth is indeed stranger than fiction.  Is that the theme from Twilight Zone I hear in the background?

But, hey, even those who didn't mesh into our clairvoyant madness have written some GREAT articles this month, so take your time and read them all.  Stuff like Jack Teems' article on using the Internet for additional storage space; Parker Renaud's informative article on using the Out of Office Assistant in the Corporate/Workgroup version of Outlook; James La Borde's excellent tutorial on the different data types you can assign when creating your fields in Access; and, of course, Corey Seaton's walk-through of installing your Network Interface Card, will all teach you much.

And, please don't miss Cap'n Patt's GeekSpeak Translator.  Even if you know what all the terms in the articles mean, it's worth reading just to get to know the Cap'n.  Also, don't forget to check out Guitar Man's fun Outlook Express Tips.  He's building an archive now, so soon we'll have a large collection.  And, last but not least, have a look at What's New At Linda's Computer Stop.  I've added some good stuff.

Most important -- Enjoy this newsletter and let us know what you think!

Since I've only been in computers for 3 years, but I am also gainfully employed in the computer industry, I must be a Tewbie.....cuz I know I'm sure not a Nechie!
