Note that the second click must immediately follow the first, otherwise the program will interpret them as two separate clicks rather than one double click. In Microsoft Windows you can use a double click to open files and applications. Both systems let you set the double-click speed (the longest acceptable interval between each click). If you are having trouble double-clicking fast enough, you can go to START >> SETTINGS >> CONTROL PANEL >> MOUSE and change the double- clicking speed.

Q. "I have to calculate the conversion from yards to meters. Where can I find this kind of information?"

A. Check out tomorrow's Weekend Edition. The Site Of The Day will contain more types of "calculators" than you knew ever existed.

Reuters (April 26, 2001) - Neither snow nor rain nor gloom of night can keep the U.S. Post Office from delivering parcels to their destination. But when the recipient has moved and left no forwarding address, the Post Office sends the package to the same place millions of individuals go to unload their unwanted stuff: eBay.

For several months the Post Office has been expanding its presence on eBay, and bidders are gradually discovering it as a place that offers even better bargains than on other parts of the site, and a voyeuristic glimpse inside some brown paper packages to boot.

"A number of items that are mailed every day have improper addresses on them; perhaps the recipient has moved on, or is using a fake name," explained an eBay official.

The concept is not really all that new, since the Post Office has traditionally held public auctions offline for its undeliverable packages.

As in its offline auctions, the Post Office insists it is not trying to make some easy money from other people's carelessness or sloppy handwriting. It says it exhausts every possible lead before it puts the parcels up for sale.

Internet radio broadcasting covers everything from a 12 year old "transmitting" his own radio program via his personal computer to the largest worldwide commercial radio networks.

"Live" and taped broadcasts from the farthest corners of the globe in almost every language are available at the click of a mouse. Want news? Want 50's music? Want discussion? You name the language, the type (genre), the country.

Although there are many free services that allow you to choose the kind of radio that you want to hear, the easiest place to start is with the built in radio tuner that comes with REALPLAYER.

The audio (and video) "streaming" programming technology called REALPLAYER usually is automatically installed in modern computers. Don't know if you have it installed? No problem... just click HERE to go to the REALPLAYER RADIO site and then try to listen to some streaming audio/video. If you don't have RealPlayer installed, it'll tell you.

If you don't have it installed, you can get the free version of this software (RealPlayer 8 Basic) HERE at the REALPLAYER DOWNLOAD PAGE.

All set to listen to radio from around the world? OK. Go to the REALPLAYER RADIO TUNER page and then choose the type (genre) or language or city or country that you want to listen to.

Don't get upset if some of the stations are not available. Just try a different station.

Of course, the faster your computer and connection speed, the better your reception will be.

And don't forget to send us an email about the good stations that you've found. I'll share your info with the rest of our readers.
