If you are a web/gadget guru, that is. If you are not, then you likely don't
know that you can do this. I have friends who have used Windows-based
computers for years, and every time we talk about something, I'm suggesting
ways they can do things that astound them. They didn't know they could do
that!! Drag & Drop is one of them, the right-click is another trick. BTW, I
use a Mac, and I seem to be better informed on how Windows works than they
are. :-) (I have never owned a Windows-capable computer, leaving DOS at
version 5.x and the DOSSHELL--which I loved, btw.) :-)
