02. XP COMPATABILITY WITH OLD PROGRAMS. One of the most powerful features
of Windows XP is its capability to run programs designed for earlier
systems, even DOS. If you have one of those relics in your closet, dust it
off, browse to the application file for the program in Windows Explorer,
right click to Properties and click the "Run This Program In Compatability
Mode For" box. Select the Windows version for which the program was
intended and click the Display Settings checkbox appropriate for the
program, if you know the correct settings. Click OK, then double click on
the program file and take a step back in time.

03. CALCULATORS GALORE. You'll find a calculator for very purpose at
http://www-sci.lib.uci.edu/HSG/RefCalculators.html where, at last look,
there were 15,720 created by 2,855 individuals, business, and tax-supported
entities worldwide. This site presents a great deal more potential that
Windows built-in calculator.

13. Centropa: Jewish Heritage in Central and Eastern Europe
http://www.centropa.org/mainpage/main.asp

A nonprofit organization based in Vienna, Austria, the Centropa group is
headed up by a team of historians, educators, photographers, and other
artists and scholars. The site contains a number of different oral history
and photographic archives, in addition to sections dealing with contemporary
Jewish life in the region and around the world. The basic search options
within each of these sections allows visitors to choose a country of
interest and to highlight certain themes (such as religious figures or
personal letters), so that the results will be customized appropriately. An
advanced search option allows visitors to look for materials based on family
surname and city. The site concludes with a section that offers suggestions
for eating in different restaurants around Eastern Europe and with travel
tips for the area compiled by Ruth Ellen Gruber, who has published three
books on Jewish Europe. [KMG]
