New Navigation Buttons
Those of you who have read the latest on-line version of the TOGGLE newsletter may have noticed that we have replaced the old navigation buttons with new ones, at the top and bottom of the right column, that more accurately describe where they will take you. We have also added a NEXT button so you can "leaf" through the newsletter, article by article, without having to return to the Table of Contents. Webmaster Ray Mills suggested that we place the buttons at the Top of the page as well as at the bottom.

Win Me. Sorry ---- false rumor!
But wait, in his January 8, 2001 column referring to Whistler, the next version of Windows, Fred Langa (www.langa.com) sez:"...DOS will finally go away completely (it's already gone in NT/2K, and is somewhat hidden in ME)...."

The idea is that you get a number from the Discover or AX online site, then use it to charge what you want to buy. It's only good for one purchase, and will be refused if used for any other buying.
