You'll need to be familiar with at least one graphics software such as Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. We'll show you the steps in Paint Shop Pro since it is available as a free download on the net.
You'll find links that offer it at our Software Website at:
http://www.kahl.net/software/
1) Open the image in Paint Shop Pro. Increase color depth to 16.7 million
colors.
2)Grab the Color Replacer tool from the Tool palette.
3) Hold down the Ctrl key and grab the red color with the Eyedropper
tool. (Remember that holding down the Ctrl key while using most functions
temporarily changes the tool to the Eyedropper tool.)
4) Now move the red into the Background color square by clicking on
the little arrow next to the Foreground/Background color boxes.
5) Grab black for the Foreground color.
6) Now paint over the red with the Color Replacer tool. This changes
only the red you chose and no other colors or highlights.
Neat, huh?

WinTips
=======
This Windows feature reduces your work. The system knows what to do when you insert a CD in the drive. Without AutoPlay, you'd have to display a CD's contents in an Explorer window, or in the case of an audio CD, launch the CD Player program yourself.
There may be times when you don't want AutoPlay to do its thing. You may, for instance, want to put an audio CD in the drive and listen to it later. You can turn off this function on a per-instance basis.
Pop the CD in , close the door, and HOLD DOWN THE SHIFT KEY for a few seconds - about as long as it normally takes for AutoPlay to begin.
How to play the audio CD when ready? Open "My Computer", right-click your CD-ROM drive (labeled 'Audio CD'), and select Play.

AOTM (Acronym of the Month)
=======================
ACTIVE SERVER PAGES
-----------------------------
A WWW scripting environment. You'll see it at the end of website names
as in "webfile.asp". ASP is used for Microsoft Internet Information Server
(IIS). You use it to combine HTML, scripts and reusable ActiveX server
components to create dynamic web pages. When a browser requests an ASP
page, the Web server generates a page with HTML code and sends it back
to the browser. ASP pages are similar to CGI scripts.
Learn about ASP at:

APPLICATION SERVICE PROVIDER
-----------------------------------------
You probably know that an ISP is an INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER. A company
that provides you with access to the internet. ASPs are third-party entities
that manage and distribute software-based services and solutions to customers
across a wide area network from a central data center. ASPs are a way for
companies to outsource some or almost all aspects of their IT needs.

!!Hoax & Virus Alert!!
================
Yes it's true folks, last month was a banner month for silly email warnings and virus messages. We were informed by well meaning individuals (no names, lets protect the guilty!) Intel and AOL are merging and because of this Microsoft will send me money! Right! Brazilian Congress is voting to cut the amazon by 50%. Uh huh! A virus entitled "It Takes Guts to Say Jesus" is on the loose and there is NO remedy. Sure! The US Supreme Court and Congress are eliminating National Public Radio (NPR), NEA & the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). Heavens no! Tommy Hilfiger told Oprah Winfrey that his clothes are made for white people only. Shocking! Relax folks, these are ALL INTERNET FAIRY TALES.
Most internet warnings are fake. If you receive a warning you want to
check up on, GET THE FACTS:

THE PUNCH LINE
==============
Dear God,
Yesterday was an awful day for me......
My husband ran off with his secretary,
My son pierced his eyebrow,
My daughter tatooed the bald spot on her head,
My dog mated with the neighbors cat,
My neighbor sold her house to a mental institution,
My Mom told me I was adopted,
My Dad told me he's gay,
My boss told me I was laid off,
My sister was arrested for prostitution,
My house has termites,
My car was stolen,
All that came in the mail was bills,
A plane crash landed on my garage,
OJ Simpson came to my door selling rug cleaner,
And my TV blew.
Lord, please be with me today. I was able to
live through all that misery
yesterday. And I will be able to make it
through anything today!! But please....
DON'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO MY COMPUTER!!!!!
