    I don't know if Capone actually said this or not, but in the Untouchables movie, De Niro was talking about his neighborhood and said, "You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word." :)

        That's a correct Al Capone quote. Only I think it has the word "alone" at the end of it. But this posts two different quotes that more or less mean the same. Look to the last two: Clickety[^] I had it on a shirt I bought at the museum in Chicago when I was visiting my uncle back when I was younger. I don't know why, but I thought Scar face Al (Capone, not Pacino) was the coolest thing since kool aid (hey, I was 12!) :)

                Isn't that the one full of religion? :~ Upon the recommendations of a friend and a corporate trainer, I borrowed that book but I didn't go beyond a few pages. That was 3+ years back, so I could be thinking of something else....

                      One solution: Cut out the shape you want in paper. Use either sticky back plastic of blue-tac and gently attach the shape to the bottom of the mouse. Now move the mouse around and give it a good shake - the shape should fall off the bottom of the mouse. :sigh:

                        MR MARC, IM HURT THAT U POST MY QUESTION N LOUNGE. I WANT ASK THE GR8NESS U R FOR ANSWERS. BUT NOW IM HURT TOO MUCH TO ASK AGAIN. ;P Wow, you know I never realized how difficult that is to type. I had to go back and remove the YO from YOU every single time, I just automatically typed it no matter how hard I concentrated. I also thought typing in all caps would be easy, since I keep missing some caps in my typing anyhow. But it also was difficult. :-D I think that is the last time I will attempt a joke like that, it is just too difficult to type like that. :-D

                                        Yet the book still sells extremely well. The language in the examples may have changed (they sound very formal for modern ears or readers) but the principle is sound.

                                          I think all techies need to read "How to Win Friends and Influence People."

                                          True - It taught me a few things. And I cringe when people break the "rules" in the book. I still do sometimes, but much less than before as I am more aware of what I am saying or reading.
