>Why are the ZIPd ones there?
They're easier to e-mail ... in case you want to send one (or many) to a friend.

>I can do that?
Of course. Everything on my Website and on this CD is available to you and your friends (make copies, give it away, for free).

• At the bottom of the gummy-stuff page there's a search engine provided by FreeFind.com.
  (FreeFind.com updates their gummy_stuff data every month and, if you're connected to the internet, you'll still be able to search my Website.)

>And how do I search the CD?
Somewhere, somehow ... I must be able to provide a hard disk search. I'm working on it.

• If, after playing with this CD for a while, you visit gummy_stuff on the Web and find new stuff, then you can just download the new stuff to your PC ... but your gummy_stuff page (on this CD) won't reflect the new stuff

>Would it be different than your Website page?
Of course. My Website page has my grandkids and other stuff that don't hardly belong on this CD. In fact, the downloaded gummy_stuff page would look just like the one on this CD (that is, like this) ... but with links to the latest stuff (which you can, of course, download from my Website).
Oh ... one other thingy:

• When you download a spreadsheet from the net, it'll be .ZIPd. You can stick it in the SS folder and unZIP it there.

>How would I put the new stuff ... the stuff that I download ... how would I put it on the CD?
Uh ... you could if you have a CD burner.
Otherwise, I'd suggest that you copy all the stuff on this CD to your PC hard disk, in a folder you could call ... uh, gummy_stuff.

>Then put the new stuff in that folder!
Exactly, and ...

>With all the other spreadsheets in that SS folder, eh?
Exactly ... and remember:

>So what's in the SS folder?

Click!

>That's everything?
Well ... there's other miscellaneous stuff, not on the above list.
In fact, there are over 300 files in the SS folder, including both ZIPd and unZIPd spreadsheets.
In total, I think there are something like 3000 files on the CD.

Notes:

• Although the tutorials may refer to spreadsheets which download from some Website (like 0catch.com or geocities.com), the spreadsheets are also available on this CD, in the SS folder. (Newer spreadsheets, not on this disk, may be downloaded from the Net.)

• There may be some (less-than-useful) spreadsheets that I've used just to generate charts for a tutorial.
  You may want to delete these (!)

• There may are also be ancient stuff (including ancient spreadsheets) ... made before I got smarter.

• There are some spreadsheets named after people who asked for a spreadsheet to do this or that.
• Each CD is written and scanned (using Norton AntiVirus) immediately before mailing.

About the spreadsheets:

Many of the spreadsheets have macros (to download data from Yahoo or perform a bunch of calculations or whatever).
From time to time Yahoo changes the URL which the spreadsheet uses to download
For this (and any other reason) you may want to modify the macro(s). Here's how to do it:

1. RIGHT-click on the button that calls the macro into service. Example
2. In the menu that pops up you should see Assign Macro.... Click it.
3. Then click on the Edit button which appears.
4. TThen the macro code appears in a window. (You may have to enlarge the window.) Modify to your heart's content.
5. When you're finished, click: File / Close and Return to Excel ...
6. Pray.
