In the Microsoft(r), 1986-2002 object-disoriented view a
'Desk-top' is an area of space nearly perpendicular to and located slightly above a
desktop, any desktop on which humanity has worked for the last few million years or so.
The Desk-top is usually smaller in lateral extent but apparently larger in volume than any
previously known desk. Try putting your pen down on it.
Anyway...
If you can see the 'My Computer' or its equivalent icon
on your Desk-top then you will not need to move, resize or close other open windows and vice
versa.
Move the mouse pointer to the 'My Computer' icon and
right-click.
Move the mouse pointer to 'Find' and left-click.
An area of the Desk-top now displays a 'Find' area. It
is like an index for your computer.
Move the mouse pointer into the 'Named' text box area,
left-click and then type *.wab
Move the mouse pointer to 'Find now', left-click and
wait while a list of files is found and displayed.
Sometimes, there is now sufficient time to boil a
kettle, make a brew and drink it. Also, there may be much crunching of gears, flashing of
lights and general gnashing of teeth within the computer system as the search proceeds.

Repeat the following sequence over each file in the
list:
right-click;
in the menu list left-click 'Send
to';
in the list left-click 'Mail
recipient'.
Wait while your preferred e-mailer
opens.
Complete and send the e-mail as per
usual.
Return to the 'Found' file list;
Until done.
If you can

Move the
mouse pointer to the 'My Computer' icon and right-click.
Click
'Explore'.
An Explorer
window opens.
In the left
pane of the Explorer window, locate and click the folder where your CV is stored.
The folder
contents are listed in the right pane.
Right-click
the CV and select 'Send to', 'E-mail recipient'
An e-mail
window opens with your CV as an attachment.
Complete and
send the e-mail.

Put a labelled floppy disk into its drive.
If you can see the 'My Computer' or equivalent icon on
your Desk-top then you will not need to move, resize or close other open windows.
Move the mouse pointer to the 'My Computer' icon and
right-click.
Click 'Explore'
An Explorer window opens.
In the left pane of the Explorer window, click the
folder where your work is stored.
In the right pane of the Explorer window, click the
first file in the list that you wish to copy.
Move the mouse pointer to the last file that you wish to
copy from this folder.
Press and hold down a 'Shift' key, then click.
You now have a highlighted file-list.
At the bottom of the Explorer window, in the status bar
area, you will be shown the number of files and their total size measured in bytes,
kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes &c. A Microsoft-ready floppy disk may hold a total of
about 1.4 megabytes = 1400 kilobytes = 1400000 bytes so, ensure that the total is less
than this.
In the highlighted area click but keep your finger
pressed on the mouse-button.
Drag the mouse-pointer over the 3½ Floppy (A:) icon in
the left pane of the Explorer window and release the mouse button.
Wait while the files in the list are copied.
Close the Explorer window.
Remove the floppy disk.

Put a labelled floppy disk into its drive.
Repeat for each document and spreadsheet:
Open the required document or
spreadsheet in its Office 2000(tm) application;
Click: File, Save as;
Change the 'Save as type:' entry to
the required version e.g. Word 6.0/95 or Excel 5.0/95;
Change the 'Save in:' location to
your 'A:' or floppy disk drive;
Click: Save;
Close the application;
Until you have finished.
Remove the floppy disk.
The floppy disk is now ready for use in Microsoft(r)
Office '97 (tm).

In physics and engineering, the terms 'work' and
'energy' are equivalent: in the Système Internationale (SI) their unit of measure is
named after the physicist James Joule (1818-1889) as the joule.
One horse-power (1 hp) is the Imperial measure of the
rate at which work is done or energy is expended. It is roughly that which can be achieved
by a standard shire-horse.
The SI unit of power is named after the inventor of the
condensing steam engine James Watt (1736 - 1819) as the watt.
If a force enough to accelerate a one
kilogramme-weighted object (1 kg) by one metre per second (1 m s-1) in one
second (1 s) is applied then one watt (1 W) of power is required or one joule (1 j) of
work is done in 1 s.
The joule and watt are, therefore, derived units: they
are related to the more fundamental units of Mass (kg) Length (m) and Time (s) by:
1 joule = 1 kg m2 s-2 (Read as:
One joule equates to one kilogramme metre squared per second squared)
1 watt = 1 kg m2 s-3 = 1 j s-1
(One watt equates to one joule per second)
To convert between Imperial and SI units the following
relationship is adequate:-
1 hp = 746 watts (about three-quarters of a
kilowatt) or 746 joules of energy per second of time.
Where they were left last.
Often they are found closer to the local centre of
gravity.

Who knows? When Holovision(tm) is more generally
available then maybe the wallpaper will decorate the walls and the waste-paper basket will
be found elsewhere.
WindowsXP? No.
Satire Wire has
some things to say about Microsoft(r), also.

keyboards, rodents and bugs in Microsoft(r)
Windows(tm) &c...
Key combinations:
If you see the following: Ctrl + Alt
+ Delete, it means that you should press and hold down a Control key (Grey, 'Ctrl'), an
Alt key (Grey, 'Alt') and the Delete key (Grey 'Delete') simultaneously for about half a
second.
Shift + 8 means that you should hold
down a Shift key (Grey, hollow, up-arrow) whilst pressing the second-row, number 8 key
(there is an asterisk above the 8) for less than half a second.
To change the state of the 'Caps Lock' indicator press
the 'Caps Lock' key (Grey, 'Caps Lock')
Other key combinations are presented in a similar
manner...
Mouse button presses:
The words click (left-click),
double-click, right-click indicate mouse-button actions.
Make the left mouse button click once, twice or make the
right mouse button click once.
During a 'click' only a single action should occur.
Practice.
Menu selections:
Example: File->Open, this means that you should click
the 'File' menu, and then click 'Open' in the provided list (menu). The menu bar is
located towards the top of a window in the Microsoft(r) view but beware, its location may
vary at other sites.
Your current system is probably in advance of these
crude communication techniques and your patience may be required. Also, computer bugs are
everywhere but not all of the time.
