When I was young my dad would say
Come on son let's go out and play

No matter how hard I try
No matter how many tears I cry
No matter how many years go by
I still can't say goodbye
- "I Still Can't Say Goodbye," Performer: Chet Atkins

Whenever I provide a ."txt" version of a file you can do the following with the link I provide for you:
1) Save the file for future use, or printing out in order to read away from the computer
Using your Right Mouse Button, Click, then Select "Save Target As"
I suggest until you get used to this that you use your desktop for saving - then later designate a folder.
If you can't find the file, then go to "Start," "Search," and type the file name for searching.
2) Just open the file up in your browser. It will not have the normal "Verdana" font that I use for "html" pages, but is readable.
If you need some visual to go along with these instructions, then download the following files:
1) Camtasia Player here http://www.techsmith.com/products/studio/player.asp
Save this file to your desktop.
2) Text File Instructions - Camtasia Player here. http://www.royblakeley.name/larry_blakeley/text_file_instructions.avi
Save this file on your desktop and to open with "Camplay.exe."
Then double-click the Camtasia.exe file, select File Open, Go to your Desktop and Select the file "text_file_instructions.avi," and watch the instruction video I have prepared to help those that need it.
