Q. "Can you publish this story? I know that your readers will really enjoy it. It's called THE COUPLE"

A little old couple walked slowly into McDonalds one cold winter day. They looked out of place amid the young families and young couples eating there that night.

Some of the customers looked admiringly at them. You could tell what the admirers were thinking. "Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for 60 years or more!"

The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his order with no hesitation and then paid for their meal.

The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off of the tray. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them.

As the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger the crowd began to get restless. Again you could tell what they were thinking. "That poor old couple. All they can afford is one meal for the two of them."

As the man began to eat his French fries one young man stood and came over to the old couples' table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat.

The old man replied that they were just fine. They were used to sharing everything.

Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink. Again the young man came over and begged them to let him buy them something to eat.

This time the lady explained that no, they were used to sharing everything together. As the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly with a napkin the young man could stand it no longer.

Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some food. After being politely refused again he finally asked a question of the little old lady. "Ma'am, why aren't you eating. You said that you share everything. What is it that you are waiting for?"

She answered...

Although I have outlined the procedure for "stealing" any of the graphic or midi song files that exist at the ComputerGuyNY site (or any other site, for that matter), it's worth repeating here in our Weekly In Depth column.

2. From the resulting menu, choose "save image as" or (for the songs) "save link as"

3. In the resulting window, take note of where (folder name) the pic/song will be saved and take note of the name of the pic/song

5. Anytime you want to see/hear what you saved, go to the folder to which you saved it and double click on the file name

6. If you forget where you saved it, you can find it with the Window's FIND feature. Go to START >> FIND >> FILES OR FOLDERS and type in any part of the filename and click on FIND (or hit the enter key on your keyboard)

HINT: Create a folder on you desktop called PICS and another called SONGS and save (or copy) your pics and songs to the appropriate folder. It'll be very easy to find them when you want them.
