Ever signed onto your
instant-messaging program and been asked to update to the newest
version, only to find that the “upgrade” was a step down? Most of us
automatically allow our programs to update themselves, and occasionally
an upgrade won’t seem like an improvement, and we’ll miss the older
version. At OldVersion.com you can find 430 versions of 48 different
programs. Don’t stay with a new version of a package if you don’t like
it; get back your easy-to-use program here.

Try out the Net's
coolest ZIP-code finder. Type in any five digits and you'll see the Java
application zero in on the appropriate spot on the map. (Helpful tip:
You'll want to play with this a few times; when you're ready to type in
the next five digits, use the backspace key to delete the previous set.)

The My Own Business site is geared toward the
entrepreneur who wants to start his or her own business and the
individual who has an established small business and would like to see
that business grow and expand. They offer a course to benefit both the
full-time entrepreneur and individuals who are already—or are
considering—moonlighting with a new business.
"Do your work with
your whole heart and you will
succeed—there's so little competition."

It’s That Simple
No amount of skill, no equipment and no boat will keep you from
disaster if you don’t develop the most important seagoing skill of all—a
complete fear of falling overboard.
—Lin & Larry Pardey
“Some people like my advice so much that they frame it
upon
the wall instead of using it.”

Something to Remember Us

fifth-grader thanking him for his hospitality during her class visit to
the state capitol. The letter concluded: "P.S. You have been exposed to
chicken pox."
