Tips & Tricks HTML vs. Plain Text We see this all the time but how do they differ? How do they effect your computing life? Basically, the differences between HTML and plain text affects you when you're working with your e-mail (unless you do a lot with Web pages). The settings you have chosen in your e-mail will determine how you see your e-mail. If you have the plain text choice selected, you won't see anything but text, but if you have HTML enabled, you'll see pictures and any other fun things that may be in the e-mail. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language and it is the dominant language for Web pages. It helps you to see different headings, paragraphs, lists, embedded images, interactive forms, etc. It's like a script code that may look confusing to you, but when you have it all in regular view, you can see everything you need to see. On the other hand, plain text is just text and it's completely unformatted with no fancy work. So, as you can see, it's a lot about personal preference as well. If you think you have plain text selected in your e-mail program and you want HTML, just go through your settings (usually under the Tools, Options or Settings menus) and change them around.

Just for Fun! Popular Food Accidents! Popsicles In 1905 an eleven-year-old Frank Epperson was mixing powdered soda and water to make soda pop. Frank accidentally left the mixing bucket outside. During the night the mixture froze solid, with the wooden stirring stick standing straight up. But the frozen pop tasted great! Frank started selling Epperson icicles for five cents, later changing the name to popsicles. Chocolate Chip Cookies In 1930, Ruth Wakefield was making chocolate cookies at the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Mass. When she ran out of baking chocolate, Ruth broke a bar of semi-sweet chocolate into little pieces and added them to the dough. When the cookies were baked, the chocolate hadn't melted. Instead there were little chips of chocolate throughout the cookie. Ruth was soon selling chocolate chip cookies. Sandwiches One day in the 1700's, the Earl of Sandwich was so busy gambling, he did not want to go eat. So, he ordered some food to be piled between two slices of bread, which he ate while gambling. The sandwich has been popular ever since. Potato Chips One day in 1853, a diner at Moon Lake Lodge in Saratoga Springs, New York, refused to eat an order of French fries because they were too thick. The chef, George Crum, fried a thinner batch, but the customer also rejected these. Crum decided to teach the diner a lesson. He sliced a potato paper-thin and fried it so heavily it could not be cut with a fork. But the customer loved them. Soon other customers were asking for potato chips. Ice Cream Cones Ernest Hamwi was selling Syrian pastry at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. When a nearby ice cream vendor ran out of dishes, Hamwi rolled some pastry into a cone so ice cream could be put inside. The ice cream cone was a huge a hit. However, an Italian immigrant named Italo Marchiony received a patent to manufacture ice cream cones earlier that same year, suggesting more than one person invented ice cream cones.
