Or Deleware!!! LOL

We vacationed in Vermont one year. A local pointed out that VT and NH were like two pieces to one puzzle. They fit together perfectly. And I remembered a small part of NH is ocean frontage.......so when it came time for those two tiny states, I knew which one went where! If not for our Stowe, VT vacation, those two could confuse me.

We could run a list of easy states....

FL
CA
TX
MA (Maine)
LA
MI
WI

Then the hard ones....

RI
DE

And that darn Nebraska!

Don't know about a pentium 4, but there should a button on your keyboard up top to the right of all the F#'s. It says Print screen. When you are at the page you want a screen shot of press that button. Then you must go into paint, a program that generally comes with windows in your accesories. Go into to paint and go to the top and click edit and then paste. It should show that image, and then you can save the picture. There may be an easier way but that is the way I do it. Hope that helps. :)
