Santa Singh buys a computer and writes a letter to Bill Gates with his questions/queries:

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,

This letter is from Banta Singh from Punjab . We have bought a computer for our home and we found problems, which I want to bring to your notice.

1. After connecting to internet we planned to open e-mail account and whenever we fill the form in Hotmail in the password column, only ****** appears, but in the rest of the fields whatever we typed appears, but we face this problem only in password field. We checked with hardware vendor Banta Singh and he said that there is no problem in keyboard. Because of this we open the e-mail account with password *****. I request you to check this as we ourselves do not know what the password is.

2. We are unable to enter anything after we click the ’shut down ‘ button.

3. There is a button ’start’ but there is no “stop” button. We request you to check this.

4. We find there is ‘Run’ in the menu. One of my friend clicked ‘run ‘ has ran upto Amritsar ! So, we request you to change that to “sit”, so that we can click that by sitting.

5. One doubt is that any ‘re-scooter’ available in system? As I find only ‘re-cycle’, but I own a scooter at my home.

6. There is ‘Find’ button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot for tracing the key with this ‘ find’, but unable to trace. Is it a bug??

7. Every night I am not sleeping as I have to protect my ‘mouse’ from CAT, So I suggest u to provide one DOG to kill that cat.

8. Please confirm when u are going to give me money for winning ‘HEARTS’ (playing cards in games) and when are u coming to my home to collect ur money.

9. My child learnt ‘Microsoft word’ now he wants to learn ‘Microsoft sentence’, so when u will provide that?

Santa Singh
how is it friends? r u prepare list out urs complaints to Bill Gates?

The Best “Out-Of-Office” E-Mail Auto-Replies:

fail to get the position .

2: I’m not really out of the office. I’m just ignoring you.

3: You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of
the office. If I was in, chances are you wouldn’t have received
anything at all.

4: Sorry to have missed you but I am at the doctors having my brain
removed so that I may be promoted to management

5: I will be unable to delete all the unread, worthless emails you
send me until I return from vacation on 4/18. Please be patient and
your mail will be deleted in the order it was received.

6: Thank you for your email. Your credit card has been charged $5.99

message.

9: Hi. I’m thinking about what you’ve just sent me. Please wait by
your PC for my response.

10: Hi! I’m busy negotiating the salary for my new job. Don’t bother
to leave me any messages.

11: I’ve run away to join a different circus.

AND, FINALLY, THIS ONE TAKES THE CAKE:

12: I will be out of the office for the next 2 weeks for medical
reasons.

When I return, please refer to me as ‘ Loretta’ instead of ‘Steve’

This is INCREDIBLE ! From what I can see of the uniforms, this is WWI era.

Worth opening.
These are just in from the current (just landed) space mission.

Maximize your viewing area and enjoy.

Keyboard Instead of Mouse - Some Tips
Microsoft Windows and applications shortcut keys

SHORTCUT KEYS ABCs
Shortcut keys help provide an easier and usually quicker method of navigating and using computer software programs. Shortcut keys are commonly accessed by using the Alt, Ctrl, and/or Shift in conjunction with a single letter. The de facto standard for listing a shortcut is listing the modifier key, a plus symbol, and the single character. Or in other words “ALT+S” is telling you to press the Alt key and while continuing to hold the Alt key pressing the S key to perform the shortcut.
In addition to the shortcuts listed on this page users can find the shortcut keys to their most popular program by looking for underlined letters in their menus. For example in the below picture you can notice that the “F” in File has been underlined. Users can know by looking at this that they can press the Alt key and F to access the File menu. Finally, also seen in the below picture you may notice that some of the common features such as Open and Save have shortcut keys assigned to them. In the below example pressing Ctrl+O would perform the open for the program.

As you begin to work with shortcut keys you will notice that several applications share the same shortcut keys. We have listed many of these keys in our basic shortcut keys section .
Note: Users outside the United States or users using a foreign copy of a Microsoft Windows or Microsoft application may not be able to get all the below shortcut keys to perform the function listed below.
