Replying to: marsha7 (Jul 16, 2009 7:45 pm) I tried ALT/TAB and nothing happens...I thought it would minimize.   ALT-TAB simply allows you to cycle through your open applications within Windows, not minimize the active application.

Replying to: marsha7 (Jul 16, 2009 7:45 pm) 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. Replies to this message: xrunner2 (Jul 17, 2009 6:15 am) gagrice (Jul 17, 2009 6:50 am)

Replying to: gagrice (Jul 17, 2009 5:09 am) 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..

Replying to: xrunner2 (Jul 17, 2009 6:15 am) 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.

Replying to: marsha7 (Jul 17, 2009 7:13 am) If all you want to make is an empty desktop hitting the windows button and m at the same time will minimize all windows. Replies to this message: jimbres (Jul 17, 2009 7:46 am) fezo (Jul 17, 2009 10:17 am) steve_ (Jul 17, 2009 10:29 am) and 3 more...
#15649 of 16668 Card Check Dead (Apparently) by jimbres Jul 17, 2009 (7:41 am)
According to the NY Times, the Senate has decided to drop the card check provision from a pending labor bill.   Democrats Drop Key Part of Bill to Assist Unions   (You may have to go through a no-cost registration process to view this.) Replies to this message: steve_ (Jul 17, 2009 7:52 am)

Replying to: marsha7 (Jul 17, 2009 7:13 am) 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.

Replying to: fezo (Jul 17, 2009 7:37 am) I prefer Windows - D. Hitting those keys once will minimize all open apps. Hitting them again will restore everything. Replies to this message: fezo (Jul 17, 2009 10:17 am) steve_ (Jul 17, 2009 10:29 am) xrunner2 (Jul 17, 2009 12:09 pm) and 2 more...

Replying to: jimbres (Jul 17, 2009 7:41 am) Key part? They named the bill the "card check bill." Big loss for the UAW.   Lear and the UAW are just about patched up. (Reuters)   Out in California:   "NUMMI’s collapse confirms what industry insiders have known for years: That NUMMI was a political arrangement between the two auto giants to give Toyota cover from protectionists by hiring UAW labor while giving GM exposure to Toyota management methods. Now that both companies are bleeding recession red, NUMMI is a luxury they can no longer afford."   Toyota breaks with UAW (National Review)   The pols are pushing a tax exemption to try to save NUMMI - “We’re all very, very hopeful,” said Veronica Morgan at the United Auto Workers union hall. “In California everybody would love to have a Prius, we drive so much. So we’re really excited and hopeful that something will happen over at NUMMI and that we do get the car.”   Toyota is expected to make a decision by the end of July, according to Fremont city officials. Toyota’s contract with the UAW expires on August 8." KCBS   Maybe they'll blow up the factory (a threat by French auto workers - AutoObserver).
