Bob Gail, I did spill something over in the chess thread.
I'll go sponge it up right now!

Other than that, the board looks good. :)

Ok, my turn for a dumb question. Let me start by saying that when it comes to techy stuff....I'm an idiot! Ok, not completely, but I do have a litte problem.

I want to do a google search...which I've done plenty of times...but, I want to do it where I don't end up with thousands of results, and with results that are close to what I'm looking for.

What I'm looking for is articles (web, magazine, newspaper from the internet) on U2 and some of the causes/charities they've been involved in. But, I know if I do the search it will come back with 6 million matches....99% of which have nothing to do with anything I need.

How can I narrow my search down? Anyone, please??

U2+Charities resulted in 2,740 results

Want to hear something funny, Zmom? First result I had....had hundreds of articles about U2 and their charities and causes, LOL.

Google can be tricky..the key is to use the "+" symbol..if you just type anything in you get the hundred of thousand results..

but U2 and charities is pretty synonomous..:)

I used this: +"U2" +charities and it's only about 10 pages but says 2,930 results. Next thing would be to narrow it some by using - options of anything you want to avoid ... for example I added -music and it dropped to 652 results ... you just have to 'whittle' at it to get what you want. Any unusual words/phrases can be put into ""'s for literal searching. :)

Up to this point, when I've done internet research..I just waded through all the results I get....and that takes forever! Besides the fact that I want to do a good job on this, I find I'm really interested in what I can learn about this. Or it could just be that I'm wanting to learn how to use the internet more effectively.

Thanks Zmom and Dra!

This is a really dumb question but I gotta know.

Why are the Boston Celtics pronounced sel-tics and anything else to do with Celtic/s is pronounced Kel-tic?

Weren't the Boston Celtics named after Irish/Celtic heritage?

Here's a dumb computer question for anyone willing to explain the answer to a dummy: I play music via Windows Media and want to mute the sound that accompanies my e-mail messages as I'm reading them in my Yahoo! mailbox. If WinMedia is playing and I read an e-mail message that has a song embedded in it, BOTH songs play, which is slightly annoying. Using the mute button on my computer mutes everything. Is there a way to select which sound gets top-priority? Thanks in advance.

DAD!!!! Sia has a question!!!

he's really great and can probably help you!!

Have you tried going into Yahoo preferences? They might have an area that disables sounds. I don't have Yahoo or I'd help.

There is a mute button on the Windows Media player that you should be able to use. There isn't really a mute on your browser so you could only mute (or simply close) the media player when you are reading mail. Other than that, I can't think of any other way to mute just one or the other since they are both using the 'wave' player for music.

I hope that helps a little. I'll also ponder and look a little more into this, but that's the short (what I know already) answer ... if I find anything more, I'll post here again.

Abby, for the same reason that Cairo Illinois is pronounced KAY-RO not KI-RO.

Thanks Car, that really answered my question! LOL

Speaking of, I just tonight found out that Iowa, LA is pronounced eye-oh-way. That's just wrong.
