FROM THE PARROT REPUBLIC NEWS:
If you can start the day without caffeine...
If you can get going without pep pills...
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches
and pains...
If you can resist complaining and boring people
with your troubles...
If you can eat the same food everyday & be
grateful for it...
If you can understand when your loved ones are
too busy to give you any time...
If you can overlook it when those you love take
it out on you when,
through no fault of yours, something goes wrong...
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment...
If you can ignore a friend's limited education
and never correct him...
If you can resist treating a rich friend better
than a poor friend...
If you can face the world without lies and deceit...
If you can conquer tension without medical help...
If you can relax without liquor...
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs...
If you can say honestly that deep in your heart
you have no prejudice
against creed, color, religion or politics...
...then, my friend,
you are almost as good as your dog.
A Flight simulator
embedded in MS Excel 97!
Ever wondered why
Microsoft applications seem to become slower and fatter
with each new release?
Apparently the
constant rain in Redmond has driven Bill's
engineers to obsessive flights of fancy. Below
you'll find
instructions on how to access a little flight
simulator that was
inexplicably hidden by precipitation-maddened
programmers deep
inside Excel 97.
(1) In Excel 97,
open a new blank work sheet.
(2) Press F5 and
type X97:L97 in the "Reference" box, then click OK.
(3) Now hit your
tab key once (you should end up in cell M97).
(4) Press "Ctrl"
and "Shift" while clicking once on the "chart wizard"
icon (the one at the top with the blue-yellow-red
bar chart). Hold the
Contr-
shift
a couple extra moments.
Welcome aboard!
After a few moments you should be flying. Steer
with the mouse, accelerate and decelerate with
the left and right
mouse buttons respectively, and look for the
monoliths with the
programmer's credits.
Left mouse button
speeds flight up right slows it down, you can
actually
hover.
(Watch for the
scrolling monoliths)
You can exit the
screen by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc. Enjoy the flight...
