Special keys on the keyboard that have different meanings depending on which program is running.

 Function keys are normally labeled F1 to F12. New PCs have the enhanced keyboard, with twelve function keys aligned along the top of the keyboard. 

READER FEEDBACK...

A reader asks...

"Was yesterday's picture taken while going over the Bayonne Bridge in Staten Island, N.Y.?  My husband seems to think so."

You're close.  The PIC was taken near the Bayonne Bridge location that you mention.  But it was taken from an airplane.  Staten Island (with Caddell Dry Dock) is in the foreground and Manhattan is in the background.

 

 

WEEKLY IN DEPTH...

Note: this Domain Name info will remain here for the entire week.

 

Our New Home
www.ComputerGuyNY.com


We moved.  With a normal online account (AOL, Earthlink, etc.) you get space on your ISP's (Internet Service Provider's) server (computer) to create a web site.  Most people don't even use this space.

My space was located at http://home.earthlink.net/~MisterAguy

I decided to purchase a DOMAIN NAME (a DOT COM name).  I chose the name 'ComputerGuyNY.com'  There is a global nonprofit company that sells and manages these domain names for a $35 annual fee.  The great part is that nobody else in the entire world can have this same name.

My new space is now located at http://www.ComputerGuyNY.com

My ISP, Earthlink, "hosted" this new domain name (for an additional monthly fee).  So now I have two places on the WEB where I can display a web site.  The obvious advantages to a "dot com" (.com) site name are that it's easier for people to remember the website name and it's more "professional".

The new email address is Adam@ComputerGuyNY.com (ain't that kewl?).  But the old email address of MisterAguy@earthlink.net will still work too.

Remember the name, folks... www.ComputerGuyNY.com (and don't forget the NY at the end).  And pass it in to your friends.  They can learn a little bit more about computers each day as they visit.

I'll be adding alot of new features in the future.  Stay tuned.

So, gang, WELCOME HOME!!!
