Hi Webby
Re: Winzip eats drive space
Or just use 7zip (www.7zip.com) which is free!!
Cheers
Frank

I have used 7zip. 
It does work, but it definitely requires changing habits
and reading instructions. Probably to avoid copyright suits,
they use a different user interface. 
If you are willing to read the instructions, the 7zip will
work well for you.

Have FUN!

A man was burglaring a house in the middle of the night. 
All of a sudden, he heard a parrot cry out.
"Jesus is gonna get you." 

The robber ignored it, and takes the TV. Again, the parrot 
cries out. "Jesus is gonna get you." 
The robber started to get a little worried.
"What's your name, birdie?"

"Moses."

"What dummy named you Moses?"

"The same dummy who called his Rottweiler Jesus."


 
A man was sued by the mayor for defamation of character.
She charged that he had called her a pig. The man was
found guilty and fined.

After sentencing he asked the judge, "This means that I
cannot call Mrs. Allmond a pig?"

The judge said that was true.

"Does this mean I cannot call a pig Mrs. Allmond?" the man
asked.

The judge replied that he could indeed call a pig
Mrs. Allmond with no fear of legal action.

The man looked directly at Mrs. Allmond and said,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Allmond."

Re: PPS files that won't open

Dear Webby,
People send me PPS files all the time, often with really
beautiful pictures. Sometimes, however, I get an error about
Open Office not loading password encrypted Microslop
Powerpoint presentations. I guess somebody is trying
to rub it in, that they had the money to buy the full Microslop
Office. 

I don't have that kind of money and use Open Office.
Usually, it seems, people password stuff after they slobber 
religious or dogooder quotes onto good pictures. 
Is there a way around that childish passwording of PPS
files?
Nora

Dear Nora
You can go to my tool box at http://webby.com/tools
and grab the Microsft Powerpoint READER. That one is free.
Depending on the type of passwording, you can only view
the PPS, but can't take the slobbery comments off. 

To make it editable, you have to send it to somebody, who
has the full version of Microsoft Office. They can save it in
editable mode.

Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Use Pringles Cans for Storage

Besides making the solar hot dog cooker that I've seen on 
several sites, I use Pringles containers for storing the plastic 
bags we get from stores. Then, I have a portable dispenser 
for plastic bags to store in car, hunting and fishing gear, and 
for gardening (for holding produce while harvesting and for 
gifting excess produce to others).

A nun was sitting at a window in her convent one day when
she was handed a letter from home. Upon opening it a $50
bill dropped out. She was most pleased at receiving the gift
from her home folks, but as she read the letter her attention
was distracted by the actions of a shabbily dressed
stranger who was leaning against a post in front of the convent.

She couldn't get him off her mind and thinking that he might
be in financial difficulties. She took the $50 bill and
wrapped it in a piece of paper, on which she had written,
"Don't despair, Sister Eulalia."

She threw it out of the window to him. He picked it up, read it,
looked at her with a puzzled expression, tipped his hat and
went off down the street.

The next day she was in her room saying her prayers when
she was told that a man was at her door who insisted on
seeing her.

She went down and found the shabbily dressed stranger
waiting for her. Without saying a word he handed her a roll
of bills.

When she asked what the bills were for he replied,
"That's the four-hundred bucks you have coming.
Don't Despair paid 7-1."

My sister, went to the department store to check out the   
bridal registry of our niece whose wedding was coming up   
soon.  When my sister returned from the store, she tossed   
the gift list on a table and declared, "I think she's too   
young to get married."   

"Why do you say that?" I asked.   

"Because," she said, "they registered for Nintendo games."
