Actually, it's Omaha (the part about restaurants). Has been for a long time. (Last time I looked) :)

Uh-oh, well then I may need to qualify my previous statement by adding large Metropolitans. Or is Omaha considered on of those?

I know that Omaha is very famous for it's restaurants. It may once again be a per capita thing vs. actual numbers. I *think* Omaha metro area is around 500k.

If you Press shift and then right click with your mouse on a file, choose "Open With" you can choose which app the file will be opened with.

You can do the same without pressing shift, thereby saving yourself the effort of an additional keystroke.

Yeah, it's per capita, which basically means it doesn't matter how many total people, just how many restaurants per person, or something like that. And I THINK, (not positive), but metro Omaha, is only around 350 to 400K. With all the subs and stuff, it's still under a million. :) Now don't you feel better knowing that?

No, SP33Demon is correct. Your method only works in Windows 2000 and XP. Holding the SHIFT button is required for every other Microsoft OS.

(WinME might not need SHIFT. Never used it so I don't know)

QDOS stood for Quick and Dirty Operating System

Bill Gates and co. bought it and called it
MS-DOS: Micro-Soft Disk Operating System

Sort of explains why every OS with Dos as its kernal (3.x, 9x, ME) is such a dirty piece of crap.

Ooh, one more -

Watterson Towers in Illinois State University is the biggest dorm in the US with 28 stories, and until recently, in the world.

(It's a death trap and a pain in the ass to navigate, but that's another story.:D)

Don't forget the Subway in the basement, and the 3 pinball games!

Life has no meaning and you don't go to heaven when you die.
No, your finger nails and hair do not keep on growing once you are dead.
