UPDATE
A PDF Cautionary Note     In the Word Processing article a technique is described to convert your word processing file to Adobe's Portable Document Format. Be sure that your article has been thoroughly proof-read before the conversion, however, because you will not be able to edit it once it is converted to PDF. For that you will need the full blown version of Adobe Acrobat. And A Registry Precaution     From the article The Registry Explained, let us repeat the caveat to make a backup copy of the Registry before you start meddling with it. There is nothing much worse than that sinking feeling you experience when you can't get the machine back to the familiar way you had it set up before you made changes. Really Deleting Files     In this article, we discuss the fact that deleted files are still there and can be recovered, but you can take steps to truly delete a file. The optiom to Delete with wiping gives you this power. It uses a program called BC Wipe which is now incorporated into Windows. However, you may find when you follow this procedure that the graphics shown differ slightly from those displayed by your version of Windows or BC Wipe but the results will be the same. When you delete a file with wiping it's gone!	NOTICE!     Dont forget we are meeting at the Midland Water Company Building, 1614 99th Street E. Just west of Portland Avenue off Hwy 512. See the map below.
