Essentially, a trackball is a mouse lying on its back. To move the pointer, you rotate the ball with your thumb, your fingers, or the palm of your hand. There are usually one to three buttons next to the ball, which you use just like mouse buttons. The advantage of trackballs over mice is that the trackball is stationary so it does not require much space to use it. In addition, you can place a trackball on any type of surface, including your lap. For both these reasons, trackballs are popular pointing devices for portable computers.

"I saved away the PIC from yesterday's edition (according to your instructions) but now I can't find it. Where did it go?"

It's a good idea to take note of the folder to which you are about to save a pic or a music file. Whenever you SAVE a file, the window that asks you to confirm the name of the file will also be telling you the destination folder for the file. Just look at the top middle area of the SAVE window and you'll see the destination folder name.

If you've passed that point, a good way to find a file (assuming that you know at least part of the file name) is to go to START >> FIND >> FILES OR FOLDERS >> and type in all or part of the file name. Your hard drive (C drive) will be searched and, if what you typed is found in any file name, the file(s) will be displayed.

HINT: AOL normally saves everything to the DOWNLOAD folder located in the AOL folder. You can get there by going to MY COMPUTER >> C DRIVE >> AMERICA ON LINE >> DOWNLOAD.
