Bells n Whistles

I know lots of you are pretty computer savy and don't need any of my silly suggestions, but some of you have been asking me how you can do some of the little tricks I do with the computer. So, here's some tips & hints for those of you who asked.

To attach GIF images to your email:

open your new mail that you want to send
click on the spot in the mail where you're going to put it.
click on insert
select picture
click on the browse button
find and select the GIF file on your disk
click the open button
click OK and your done!

If you're feeling ambitious, you can make your own GIFs. To learn how vist this site:

Here's a fun way to liven things up! Cartoon sounds has lots of fun wav files. Mike once suggested replacing the windows sounds with these and we laughed our buts off.

click on your start bar
go to settings
select control pannel
click on the sound icon
select the sound that you want to replace
then click on the browse button and find the file.wav that you saved.
