I have written about this 'Tip' in the past, but some of you may have missed it.
When you have a large document to read, you may want to find a relevent word in that piece quickly. Whether it be on the Net or on your computer you can use 'Find' to locate words quickly.
(To save time, read entire instructions and then come back and click the link in step 2.)
1. Open your Internet browser.
2. Into the Address line type http://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/freedom/doi/text.html
3. This will open a copy of the Declaration of Independence.
4. Press Ctrl+f
5. A little window will open. In the 'Find' box, type the word right
6. Then click next a time or two. The word right will be highlighted each time you click 'Next".
7. Notice that any word with right in it will also be highlighted. (You can change the search options to make it more selective).
This also works with PDF files, word files, spreadsheets etc.

Comment/Opinion:
Back in October of 2008, in my political Blog, I wrote about a story and film called "Seven Days in May". It was a story about an inept president ,who's acts, alarmed the military to such a degree that they devise a secret plot to overthrow him.
I am not a physic and it is June and not May and there is no plot that I know of, to overthrow an inept president, I think that the coincidences to the posts on my Blog site in 2008 are becomming more and more frequent..

Recording music
Thanks for all of the feedback from last weeks 'Tips', It helps me to plan for future topics.
Last week I recommended "Grooveshark" for old and new songs.
Listening is nice, but how about recording them to play later?
If you have no way of saving these songs, I can give you the name of the program that I use save the music files. It is called 'Total Recorder'. Total Recorder saves the music in the MP3 music format. I use the Microsoft MPlayer to group them into albums. If you are not fussy like me, you can store them loosely or burn them to a CD.
Total Recorder is $17.95 to buy off of the Internet: However there is a FREE version that works but it inserts a noise every 60 seconds to prevent you from using Total Recorder for free. I suggest that you load the FREE version and try it. If you are happy with the program, you can buy the key from the company online and that will eliminate the annoying beeps. You get a clean recording in stereo if it was recorded originally in Stereo. Click link below and select the FREE version:
http://download.cnet.com/Total-Recorder-Standard-Edition/3000-2169_4-10847022.html
Total Recorder very easy to use, all you have to do is:
1. open the program.
2. Click the 'Record' button.
3. Go to GrooveShark or any other music site and choose a tune.
4. Total Recorder will not start recording until the tune starts.
5. When the tune finishes, Click the 'Stop' button.
6. You will get a message saying that you have to save the file. It will go into 'My Music' folder by default but you can save it anywhere you want.
7. Click on the song and it will play in MPlayer or whatever you use for a default.
I have also used Total Recorder on 'Youtube' to record songs. Of course there is no Video because this is a sound recorder. Boring speeches and lectures can also be recorded and saved.
If you want the full version, chick on the 'Help' tab and register.
How far back do you go???
Does anyone remember this song ? Click link and scroll down to Theresa Brewer and double left click:

You won't believe this Video: (Thanks Masood).

File Searching
When searching for files or program on your computer, (This is for Windows XP, Windows 7 may be a little different).
1. Left click on 'Start'.
2. Left click on 'Search'.
3. Choose a specific category or all files and folders.
(Let's just scan to see how many music files you have on your computer.)
5. Click on 'Pictures, Music or Video'.
6. Check the box for music.
7. If you had a particular music file you wanted to run, type in a name. If not leave the name box blank.
8. Click on 'Search' and wait for the scan to complete.
9. There could be a long list if you are not as neat as I am.
10 Make the results screen full size.
11. Up on the 'Toolbar', click on the 'Views' icon and select 'Details' for a better look.
12. In 'Details', you can click the 'Name' column or 'Size' or 'Date' etc. to get the best view for your purposes.
You may have wanted to delete some of your really old music files so sorting by date would be good.
Experiment with 'Search', it is a very handy tool for exploring your PC.
Dumb Question.....If the Census is meant to count legal citizens, why couldn't the Social Security and IRS departments use their database to do it on the cheap? Am I missing something?
I believe that every legal citizen is required to have a SS number, even babies. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Frank's Tips
Hi gang...I know that I have been lazy for a while so I decided to send you a TIP today.
Here is a site that seems pretty informative. It like a search engine on steroids. Beside the normal stuff, it also does math functions and other things. For a test, click the site below and type into the search box, square root of 81 or some larger number.
Test it for me and send me a report on what it does:
http://www.wolframalpha.com/
I could bend your ear and discuss politics but I already did that two years ago. My BLOG can still be found by Goggling it by this name:
frankdcurmudgeon
To see all titles on my Blog, use this message at the bottom of the Google page and click it for the rest of my writings:
In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 5 already displayed.If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included.
Remember that I wrote those predictions long before our country was in this mess.
(One note, there may be two dates on my Blog pieces. One is the original date published and the second, newer date, is when I had to move my Blog because it was too close to someone else's Blog.)
