lapsed in the USA, that is, from 1922 and earlier. I downloaded from
here several of Scrivener's books free, for example.
When I find a little spare time, I put miscellaneous
documents that
interest me into Microsoft Word. To some I add my own footnotes. I
almost always put them into both Microsoft Word 6.0 for Windows 95 or
greater, and also into Microsoft Word 5.1 for Macintosh. The main link
will be for Windows, and the Mac link is located later in the
description text.

The Constitution for Washington
The original constitution the people ratified and submitted. This one
is very interesting, for several reasons, eg., (1) it describes
Washington as including 3 northern counties of what is now known as
Idaho, and (2), it declares all lands to be allodial, and outlaws
feudal tenures. PDF format.

but for health. I have found them to be valid.

Macintosh Software My favorite word processor application of all time is Microsoft Word 5.1
for the Macintosh. It works even on an
old Mac Plus running at 7 megahertz. If you can find it downloadable
anywhere, it might be here. I don't know. FYI, the mouse pointer is so
much more stable and precise in the Macintosh interface. Fonts are also
more stable on the screen than in Windows. I work with large documents,
with small fonts in the footnotes, and Greek and Hebrew fonts. There is
just no comparison in the quality and readability on the screen. The
Macintosh interface wins in this regard hands down. That's one of the
reasons Macintosh will never die.

I lived a sheltered childhood in Papua New Guinea,
isolated from
the world mostly. But the very first rock and roll record I ever heard
was an album by Creedence Clearwater Revival called "Bayou Country."
Here is a YouTube video of them playing the biggest hit track from that
album. Bob Dylan said it was his favorite single from the year 1969.
John Lennon said these guys were his favorite American rock band. The
band members, from left to right, are Tom Fogerty, rhythm gutar; Stu
Cook, bass; Doug Clifford, drums; John Fogerty, lead vocals, lead
guitar, lead writer & composer:
You can listen to
some MIDIs here by left clicking the links,
or download them by right clicking the links. Macintosh users, to
download the MIDIs, hold down the mouse button on the link, and select
"download link to disk." I have listened to these music files on
Windows Media Player, and on Quicktime. They sound quite different,
with other factors being the same, meaning I am using the same
amplifier and stereo plugged in to both my PC and Mac. (I suppose it
might make a difference what sound card you have on the PC.) On Windows
Media Player, they have more of a base tone, but less detail. I can
hear much more detail with Quicktime, and hear more instruments than I
can on Windows Media Player, especially hear the imitation strings
better. I have not tried any other players, such as Real Player. If you
are using a Macintosh, and the MIDIs will not play, find out what
plugins you have for your browser, and what file helpers you have
selected in your browser's preferences.
