You know we love to do fun stuff here at The Junction.
     There's the annual West Seattle Street Festival July 13-16, which is in its 17th year.
     There's the Farmers Market, opening June 18, which was launched last year to great success.
     And this year there's the West Seattle Walk-In Cinema, which started on Memorial Day weekend and runs on Fridays throughout the summer.
     What does this have to do with Quid'•nunc? Only this: If The Junction is hopping, you can always stop in here.
     Coming here for the Street Festival? We'll be open. We'll even have a place at the Sidewalk Sale, so you may find what you're looking for without having to put down your elephant ear or kielbasa.
     Coming on Sunday for the Farmers Market? We'll be open. In fact, we might be the perfect next stop. After all, if you're happily taking home bags of fresh produce, some of our recipe software might be just what you're looking for.
     Will you be coming on Friday nights for the outdoor cinema? Then you'll have some time to browse Quid'•nunc between when you set up your chair and when the show starts at dusk. We'll be closing at 8 PM on Fridays all summer long.
     So when you're thinking of fun at The Junction, remember to think of it as a great opportunity to buy a new toner cartridge, drop off your computer for a hard drive trade-up, or sign up for Internet service.
     And just think - it'll be easier than ever to say it's been fun when you've seen us! Q

     Does your computer scan slower than it should? Does it freeze up or give you "out of memory" error messages?
     Our A+-certified technicians will tell you that frequently these sorts of problems are the result of too many - and mostly nonessential - programs running when your computer first starts.
     You can see whether you have this problem by doing the following immediately after starting your Windows 98 computer (unless otherwise indicated, all mouse clicks are with the left button):
     • Click "my computer" (right button)
     • Click on "properties" (either button)
     • Click on the "performance" tab
     • "System resources" should be at least 85%

     If your system resources are lower than 85%, you should eliminate the unnecessary programs. To do this, use the terrific tool provided by Windows 98. It's the System Configuration Utility.
To put it to work for you, do this:
• Click "Start"
• Click "run"
• Type "MSINF032" (without the quote marks)
• Press the "enter" key
• Click "tools"
• Click "system configuration utility"
• Click the "startup" tab

Once you've done this, you'll see all the programs that are running now (as well as any that have ever run). If you uncheck everything, Windows 98 will still run. Few programs - besides Antivirus- actually help. You can easily experiment with this, because to reactivate any program, all you need to do is recheck it. Q
