You can see what programs are on your computer's startup list by:
clicking the Start button,
then Run,
then typing MSCONFIG,
then pressing Enter.
The System Configuration Utility appears -- click the Startup tab.
This displays everything that loads in the background when you start your computer.
If it's a very long list, it's probably slowing you down.
I tried this this morning and my computer is ZIPPY!

"'You can disagree with the policies of the American military; you can even hate them, but you can’t alienate yourself from the institution without in a certain sense alienating yourself from the country.
Barring the military from campus is a bit like barring the president or even the flag.
It’s more than a statement of criticism; it’s a statement of national estrangement.'"

Nonprofit's disorganization jeopardizing $76 million deal for Harlem
Nonprofit's disorganization jeopardizing $76 million deal for Harlem - NYPOST.com
"Although it formed four years ago, the West Harlem Local Development Corp. lacks a mission statement, has yet to get tax-exempt status from the IRS and doesn't even have a phone number.
The group already has received $500,000 from Columbia University -- part of a 16-year payout designed to assuage community fears over the school's expansion -- yet hasn't spent a cent on the neighborhood."

"An unusual thing happened then.
Kühlmann ordered the German U-166 to the surface.
He appeared on the conning tower and shouted to the passengers in boats, rafts and the water that he was sorry he couldn’t help them.
Then he shouted that he wished them luck.
Kühlmann’s decision to surface was fateful.
The crew of the escort vessel a half-mile ahead turned and raced back.
As the U-166 crash-dived, the escort craft dropped five depth charges.
Making a tight circle, it located the sub by sonar and dropped five more depth charges.
When an oil slick appeared, the escort vessel began picking up survivors.
Kühlmann and his more than 50 crew members perished in the attack."

Teams to search Scottish loch for 'Dambusters' bouncing bombs - The Scotsman
"DIVERS will this summer search a Scots loch for dozens of bouncing bombs dropped in a training exercise ahead of the famous Second World War Dambusters raid.
The raid, led by Wing Commander Guy Gibson, took place on 16 May 1943, when Lancaster bombers from the RAF's 617 Squadron dropped the bomb, codenamed, on the Mohne, Sorpe and Eder Dams in the Ruhr Valley."
What brave men!
What a fabulous movie!

Does Welfare Cause Terrorism?

"The point isn't simply that many terrorists take advantage of Western welfare states, the same way they take advantage of Western freedoms and Western technology.
The point is that extreme anti-social terrorist ideologies (radical Islam, in particular) seem to breed in 'oppositional' cultures supported by various government welfare benefits."
