Data
Compression

Storing data in a format that requires less space than usual.

Data compression is particularly useful in communications because it enables devices to transmit the same amount of data in fewer bits.

There are a variety of data compression techniques. In addition, there are file compression formats, such as "ZIP".

Data compression is also widely used in backup utilities, spreadsheet applications, and database management systems.

Certain types of data, such as bit-mapped graphics (BMP pictures), can be compressed to a small fraction of their normal size (JPG and GIF pictures).

Q. "I want to make a professional looking booklet. Are there some programs available for this purpose?"

A. Yep. My favorite is CLICKBOOK. It's a great program that allows you to create booklets and brochures and many other things. You can try it out by downloading the free demo. I use it all the time to create handouts for my computer lectures.

It stated that user information could be shared if the online auction house merges with, or is bought out by, another company. According to a company spokesman, this policy update in no way means that eBay is considering a merger or sale of its company, but at best, it's disconcerting.

And at worst, it makes any previous privacy statements a scam and a lie. If companies are allowed to completely change these types of important contracts, who can we trust? Does the average person have any say in what's done with his or her information?

The Print Screen button was carried over from the early days of computers. Back then, pressing the button would send the lines of text displayed on your screen straight to your printer. This method worked nicely until the invention of the graphical user interface (Windows).

Using this key is great for copying error messages that appear on your screen. You can get help with solving your problem if you show or read the exact error message to your tech support person.

To make Print Screen work you must COPY an image of what's displayed on-screen to the clipboard and then PASTE it into a document where it can be printed.

2. To capture (copy) the entire screen, just press the Print Scrn key. This will copy the screen to your Windows Clipboard

3. Open the Windows PAINT program (START >> PROGRAMS >> ACCESSORIES >> PAINT) or any other graphic display program

4. Paste the screen shot by holding down CTRL and V at the same time (or got to EDIT >> PASTE).

5. SAVE and/or PRINT the results (exact duplicate of the screen that you were looking at).
