Hello,

Century :-)

animated E-card to your loved ones. Here is an excellent
collection for all kinds of occasions and they're all FREE!

Note:
If you should experience any problems at the E-card web
site, you need the Shockwave Player! It's FREE, and you
can download it from http://www.macromedia.com/
With Shockwave you will experience the most engaging,
interactive content the Web has to offer!
-No, this is not an ad :-)
Remember: Getting an E-card makes you feel good, but
sending one makes you feel even BETTER!
Or don't you think they deserve one? :-)
I want to wish EVERYONE a happy and safe holiday

image with "Microsoft Paint".

deers wading trough the waves, and when you had had
enough, shake your window and the stuff is gone. Fun!

========== USER TIP ================
You're probably sick and tired of all the media hype around
the Y2K problem, just like I am. But anyway, here's some info
I just couldn't keep away from you if you have Windows 95
on your PC.
Many Windows 95 users have downloaded the "Y2K patch",
but what they don't know is that MS issued a second patch
to address additional Y2K problems in Windows Explorer
and in Internet Explorer 4.01.
So how do you know if you have the correct patch? Simple.
Look in Windows Explorer in the Windows folder if you find
a file named y2kw95.txt
If you don't find the file, you need a new patch from:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q225/0/50.asp
No thanks! I'm here for you :-)

=========SPREAD THE WORD============
Sorry, my newsletter isn't free. I only ask that you help
someone each week on the internet by participating
in a forum, newsgroup, email etc. or send/forward
this newsletter to a friend.
The internet is for "Free" information and that's
what makes it so great!
The more everyone gives, the better everyone is...
Best of Luck to you and your Web Site!
