If you want to print out a week or a month from your Outlook Calendar, you can print it the same way you would an e-mail message. Here's how:

1. On the calendar click the date you want to print.
   
   
2. Click the Print button.
   
   
   
3. When the Print box pops up, choose the print style you prefer. If you're unsure which style is best you can choose a style & then click the Preview button.
   
   
   
4. From the Print Preview screen click the Print button to return to the previous screen.
   
   
   
5. If you like you can go to Page Setup, then click the OK button to print your calendar.

If you're visiting a web site with teeny-tiny print, here's how to adjust the size of the text on a web page:

1. Using Internet Explorer click View on the menu bar
   
   
2. Move your mouse pointer over Text Size



3. Click on the type size you'd like to use.

When you delete files on your PC's local drives (C:\ or D:\) Windows just puts them into the Recycle Bin instead of permanently deleting them. If you need to "dumpster dive" for a file you deleted, follow these steps:

1. On the Windows desktop right-click on the Recycle Bin icon you'll see a menu of choices.
   
   
   
2. Click on Explore to see the contents of the Recycle Bin.
3. Right-click on any item to restore it to its previous location.

Note: files deleted from diskettes (A:\) and network drives (U:\ & T:\ etc.) will be permanently deleted immediately -- not recycled.

According to a survey the public rates libraries as close to #11 as a place to seek information. The Library Journal article Marketing the Worth of Your Library offers tips on how you can increase the public's perception of the value of your library, and clue them in to what you have to offer. If nothing else at least read the "Five Things Libraries Can Do To Market Their Worth".

Sometimes a web site is "mirrored" -- copied to another server in to ensure better availability of the web site. But this Google mirror ain't your father's mirror site.

The 2002 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest awards have been announced! Don't recognize the award? Here's the scoop:

Since 1982 the English Department at San Jose State University has sponsored the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, a whimsical literary competition that challenges entrants to compose the opening sentence to the worst of all possible novels. The contest (hereafter referred to as the BLFC) was the brainchild (or Rosemary's baby) of Professor Scott Rice, whose graduate school excavations unearthed the source of the line "It was a dark and stormy night." Sentenced to write a seminar paper on a minor Victorian novelist, he chose the man with the funny hyphenated name, Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, who was best known for perpetrating The Last Days of Pompeii, Eugene Aram, Rienzi, The Caxtons, The Coming Race, and -- not least -- Paul Clifford, whose famous opener has been plagiarized repeatedly by the cartoon beagle Snoopy.
