[hummingbird]

"Microsoft has over 150 FREE Windows Programs available for download
-- but finding them all is extremely difficult."

Here's a website with them all listed in cats and with links:

Yes, very funny! For those who don't read MS in Chinese, you may not
bother.

No problem if you're using Firefox, with the translate
extension.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Sorry, I don't understand. The site's in English.

The links are in Chinese or at least the two I tried.

Odd. I tried one or two and they went to Microsoft's English site.

The site is English and I could not find any Chinese links. Perhaps it was a
reference
to that fact that the site launches at the bottom of the page. Unusual, but
not too difficult to press "Home" and go to the top. I did find, however,
that I could not save the page with IE and had to resort to another browser.

Me, too. I couldn't save directly with IE. But I worked out a quick
way, anyhow. Maybe it will help someone in the future.

I opened the source and it was a frameset. So I pasted the non-frames
address into IE and got another website with all the same info as the
original.

But couldn't save that page either. So I opened that source. But now
my text editor wouldn't save it (maybe forbidden characters in the
filename?). So I pasted it into a new document and was able to save
that one... as goodies.htm.

Goodies.htm opens perfectly in IE. And now I have the info.

IMHO It's easier just to use another browser to download the original
file!!!

Frank, in your case, then, the option I offered is clearly not for
you. And the way you did it is perfectly reasonable to me.

In my value system, though, having options is preferable to not having
options. I feel that, insofar as I offered an option to your solution,
I added something worthwhile to the discussion. Having choices is
precious to me.

(As a matter of fact, it took me longer to write my explanation than
to do the actual saving of the file!)

Dan: No offence was intended and as you say, the operation was quicker than
the explanation. A choice of methods is always preferable. Regards.
