awarded Microsoft its National Access Award for the company's work in
creating accessible software for people with disabilities. Microsoft
further demonstrated its commitment to creating great software for all
people, including those with disabilities, by adding closed captioning to
its multimedia titles. For more information about Microsoft's commitment

            TIP OF THE DAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TAKE THAT PALETTE OVER THE RAINBOW
Looking for more color in your bitmaps? In Paint, open a bitmap with a
limited palette, such as Bubbles.BMP. Choose Save As under the File menu,
select 256-Color Bitmap in the Save as type drop-down list, give the file
a new name, and click Save. Now select Save As under the File menu one
more time, and click Save. (Don't ask us why--you need to do this to get
the colors to show up in the palette.) You'll now have a much larger
palette from which to choose. Happy recoloring!
