as our buddy John Mellencamp says in one of his songs..."Ahh, but younger is always so pretty." Come on, John, not always, right?
 
rockylee must be runnin' down a dream of some sorts. For people like Tom Petty, that's fine, but what about people like rockford?
 
I'm just baitin' him a little, friends.

I have been lucky...self-employed since 1981...worked for others in other types of work until then, but my bosses were always decent people...what I do now isn't so much money, as I am a small one-man show, but I have freedom...I can come in late, leave early...
 
Mots guys working for big firms can put in 60-plus hours a week...yes, they make the $$$, but you know the old saying...when you are lying on your deathbed, no one ever says "I wish I spent more time at the office"...when the work load increases, I work more...
 
gagrice: I tried ALT/TAB and nothing happens...I thought it would minimize...and if it did, how does one reverse the process???
 
As far as rocky...I hope he has found some steady employment...I wonder if the dealerships he worked at (Beth, too) are still in business...another possibility...he finally realized what we said about overpaid UAW workers was correct, and he was thrown for a loop from the realization of truth...kinda like waking up one day, as a boy named Don Corleone Jr, and realizing that when everybody calls your father a mobster, it was the truth...

ALT-TAB simply allows you to cycle through your open applications within Windows, not minimize the active application.

If you have several programs up at once it switches between them. You could have a brief up in Word an Excel spreadsheet and Edmund's, then ALT/TAB from one to the other. Minimize with the mouse is fast also. You don't have to worry about the boss looking over your shoulder. Only Big Brother.

Depending on where you work, the IT people can set up monitoring of what you do on PC on "company time". I had a boss once, department head, that would route printout phone details of each employee throughout the department. That tended to clean up and reduce the amount of misuses of company resources. Each employee had to sign off that he/she read their own details.
 
Getting kind of on-topic, do/did UAW employess on line have opps to use phones or PCs for personal use..

I would imagine a UAW line worker texting would gum up the works. I cannot imagine the company allowing the use of cell phones on the job. Yes it is very easy to monitor every keystroke of any computer on a company network.

If all you want to make is an empty desktop hitting the windows button and m at the same time will minimize all windows.

I don't want to sound as if I'm making fun of your computer skills, Bob, but Microsoft introduced the Alt-Tab key combination when they released Windows 3.1.
 
That was in early 1992. The first George Bush was still Prez.
