Applied @ Kinko's on Thursday. They're looking for overnight shift.

Yesterday, went to go see The Sum of All Fears. Was quite good. May pick up the original novel.

Picked up an Office 97 book, to learn about Excel. Unfortunately, it doesn't cover Access, which may mean I need to pick up yet another book, if I want to learn Access. Though I should probably wait awhile.
I was able to get my book DB from the MSWorks DB into Access, but don't know how to work with it now...
Af course, I've been lax about entering stuff into my DBs lately...

Sadly, to learn about any of the office components, you almost need to learn about the current version. Access XP is different from Access 2000 which is different vastly from Access 97.

www.bookpool.com is a good site for picking these books up, and so is www.half.com

Good luck!

Realize that, and will probably end up picking up an OfficeXP book eventually, since I've got 2 components on my main system. (Word and Outlook)

However, I've got Office97 Pro on my secondary system, and don't plan on upgrading anytime soon (though I AM on the lookout for Outlook98). Why? That's the version that the office I'm planning on transferring to later this year uses. Will mostly be using Excel (data entry, rather than actually creating spreadsheets, at least at first), then Word and Outlook.
I don't think I'd be using Access much, if at all, at work. But I've got it, so might as well know how to use it...

Yes, get the book. But be prepared, it's totally different from the movie. That's why I'm not going to see it. I know the /real/ story.

I assumed such. I always assume a movie made from a book is going to be quite different. (Was VERY pleasantly surprised at how closely LotR:FotR followed the book!)

Plus, when you consider the fact that the book was written, what 30 years or so ago? And the movie has Wireless Palm communication at a key point...

Where should I begin about the differences....
Hmmm...
Ok. Lets start with this one. In these PC post 9-11 days they changed the villains in the book from Palistians to NeoNazis. Oh boy... You’ve got to love Hollywood for bowing down in front of pressure groups.
Um. Two, they blow up Denver durring the Super Bowl with the nuke, not DC.
Three, the nuke was found in a farmer's field in Israel. A Palestine Terrorist Group finds a US Nuke, loaned to Israel and lost durring the 72 war, and to tell you the truth, I can’t remember why they wanted to bomb the US… maybe it’s cause we’re always sideing with the terrorist Israeli government. Either way, it’s just a blatant rewrite to please people.

On to the other note… I wonder what Theaters had that palm beam set up. I have a Visor and would’ve liked to seen what was beamed over.
