With so many Mids changing companies, and the fact that I have to change them in 2 to 5 different lists for every member whose Mid has changed companies... I have removed the reference to company number from the signature line for EVERYONE. If there are no company numbers there is no need to go in and change them. This will be a permanent "solution" since it looks as though the Academy will be shuffling or shotgunning every year. This makes it even more important for you to sign your posts to the lists with your Midshipman's Company number. It will be the only way that anyone can find out who may be in the same company as their Mid. So, please, when you sign your name to your posts, do it like this: Sandi Zets Michael - 00 - 10th company Westlake, Ohio Please remember to add your hometown, as well!!!

WOW! It just keeps getting better! This morning's Cleveland Plain Dealer (Ohio's largest daily newspaper) has selected USNA-Net's Web Site as this year's #1 Winning Web Site in it's annual search for the best non-commercial web sites with local origins. Sandi and I were notified during Commissioning Week that we had been selected to be in the top 10 but this morning's paper ran almost a full half page (above the fold) featuring USNA-Net as its premier site in the PD's Personal Tech Section, the weekly PD feature on Internet and technology news. A full color screen shot of our Main Web Page was surrounded with a description of the site, a bio of Sandi and I and a description of what the site does, why it exists and our tips for other webmasters in the creation and maintenance of this sort of web site. We just thought you'd like to know that *YOUR* USNA-Net web site is the best of its kind. Along with the honor of being #1 came the knowledge and recognition that we have all of you to thank for driving the site to be what it is... "A storehouse of information for parents of Naval Academy students." according to the PD. Since most of you will not get a copy of today's PD, Sandi and I will scan the article and post it up for all of you to read later this week. Thanks again for making this honor possible.

Each of the 15 images is available in three resolutions to fill the entire desktop on your Windows 95/98/NT systems. To view and download them, visit your USNA-Net web site at www.navy-usna.org and click on "Family Interests" in the Main Menu. The Wallpaper is the first item on the list on that page. Find one that you like and click on your resolution size below the image. A full size image will appear after it downloads. This may take a few minutes for the large images and with slower modems. (The largest image took 40 seconds on my 56K modem.) Once the image is fully displayed, RIGHT click your mouse on the image and select "Set as Wallpaper" from the pop up menu. That's it. The next time you see your Desktop, it will be the image you selected. Some systems may not show the wallpaper until after you've started your computer the next time. Each time you go to the wallpaper page, our little Wallpaper "Wizard" reports on what resolution your computer is currently set to, so that you know which size image to select. (Clever, no?) When the box opens, just click "OK" to get it to go away. Again, These are free for your use and are offered with Sandi's compliments. Some of us just can't get enough USNA! Enjoy.

Please be aware that some members sent the same message again because it appeared that the first one did not go through. In a few cases, I relayed the message at the request of the sender. Just sit back and take it easy as you open your email. You will find duplicates. Just delete them. Hopefully this is all over and done with. Sorry about the inconvenience. It wasn't our fault.

GREAT NEWS for those of you that have always wanted to but could never find what you were looking for in our archives... Because of member generosity during our last fund-raiser, WP.Org has had the resources to design and implement a SEARCH ENGINE for our collective archives. You can now search usna-plebe for all references to "Hospital" and come up with 31 messages that refer to that word. Any word or phrase is searchable in any of our archives. Each Archive must be searched independently but that is a small price to pay for the ability to search for a reference. PLEASE DO NOT INPUT A QUESTION ! Our search engine does not understand sentences. It just searches all messages for certain words. So be specific. It also highlights the occurrence of the search word in the message to be even more helpful. To search, just click on "Archives" in our main menu and READ THE INSTRUCTIONS for searching BEFORE you attempt to use the facility. It might be somewhat confusing but it really works well once you get the hang of how it works. Searching is a TWO STEP process... On the first screen, you will be required to tell the search engine "which" list you want to search. Enter the Listserver name in lowercase as in usna-family or usna-plebe, etc. You will be asked for a user name and password. They are the same as the archive passwords: username: brigade password: submarine (all lowercase) On the second screen, enter your search word(s). You do not have to specify an order for the results unless you don't want them in the default order of latest first- oldest last. So just ignore the selection buttons below the place you type in the search word(s). You can also specify the number of responses per page of search results. The default is twenty per page. If more than 20 messages are returned as search results, you can view the others by clicking on the [2] or [3], etc. at the bottom of the first page. This is simpler than using Yahoo or Excite search engines but the results are not rated for relevance. They're just listed. You'll get the hang of it quickly. Enjoy. Mike Zets Westlake, OH mzets@mail.com Moderator for USNA-Net Listservers Webmaster - www.navy-usna.org PS. We are currently having some difficulty with usna-family and it may or may not be working but all of the others are working fine. The fix is in process. I didn't want to wait until it's fixed to share the news with all of you. PPS. You must have cookies "enabled" for any of this to work. *** USNA-NET post by: Mike Zets Have you recruited an '04 Parent yet????

Reviewing the weekly report on the topics searched for in our Site Index's Search Engine leads me to believe there is some misunderstanding about our TWO Search Engines. 1.) The Search Engine on the SITE INDEX searches OUR WEB SITE ONLY. It will return results on search words that are found on a page on the site. So if you search for Handbook, you will be told that there are 16 different places in our web site that "Handbook" is mentioned and will list them all. 2.) The Search Engine in our ARCHIVES searches our Archive of USNA-Net messages ONLY. These TWO areas of our service are totally separate and one search engine will not access both of them. You can't look for messages on the Site Index any more than you can look up a telephone number in the dictionary. Each Search Engine is designed for different things. So... If you're looking for a member's posting about Hospital Point from last summer, use the ARCHIVE's Search Engine. If you're looking for members (by way of searching on their name or email address), that's in the ARCHIVEs. Remember that the ARCHIVEs are for members only. You'll need your User Name and Password to access the Archives and that Search Engine. If you want to know where some piece of information is on our Web Site, use the SITE INDEX or its Search Engine. The SITE INDEX Search Engine is a part of our Web Site that is open to the general public and therefore is not Password Protected. I hope this helps you to look for things where they are to be found. Lastly, the terms "web site" and "listserver" are NOT synonymous. The Web Site is comprised of the web pages that are found at www.navy-usna.org. That's where the Rules of Operation, Family Interest Page and the Photo Gallery, etc. are located and can be viewed by using your browser. Our Lists (Listservers) are strictly email messages and the associated Archives of those messages. Please don't confuse the two.

Good news. As of yesterday, USNA-Net subscribed its 1,000th member. In fact, we subscribed nine members and as of this morning we are at 1,008 member families. Since the vast majority of those subscriptions are "Mr. and Mrs." our actual body count is actually more like 1,750 individuals. The vast majority of our "new" members are Class of '04 and I would especially like to extend big WELCOME ABOARD! to all of them. You will find our service to be a huge help in the coming months (and years). We like to think of each of you as extended family members (except that we won't loan you money.) :>) To those members that have been with us for a while and know the value of being a member of USNA-Net, PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN TO REACH AND RECRUIT OTHER USNA FAMILIES TO JOIN OUR LISTSERVERS! We're the best kept secret at USNA. You almost all belong to Parents' Clubs. Get the other members, especially the incoming '04 members, to join. Wear your Red, White and Blue ribbons behind your Club name tags to every function... Meetings, I-Day, PPW, etc. When asked what those are for, tell them about us and give them our web site address (URL) - www.navy-usna.org. Even with over 1,000 Families signed up, we still make up only about 1 out of 4 of the Families who have Midshipmen at the Yard. Think about it... 3 out of every 4 Parents with Mids DON'T belong to our listservers; have probably never visited our web site; and most importantly, are out there alone without our help and support. '03 Parents - Think about how much more you know and how much better you have been able to "be there" for your Mid because of your participation in our Lists for the last year. Get those new '04 Parents signed up now, even if you have to drag them to a computer terminal and make them do it while you watch. :>) '04 Parents - While you're new to us, it will become apparent quickly that this is a terrific service. Wear those Red, White and Blue Ribbons (now a traditional part of our members' wardrobe) to I-Day and Club Meetings. Let everyone know just what a great thing USNA-Net is and how they are missing gobs of information if they don't belong...not to mention the SUPPORT that will come over the coming year. I'm only saying all of this to encourage all of you to do something for your fellow Parents. Sandi and I can only help this all to happen. You're the ones who write and share. And YOU'RE THE ONES THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO REACH OTHER PARENTS. In February of last year (when we became Moderators) there were less than 100 members! Look what you've done in a little over a year. Keep up the good work and get those other Parents to join soon. I've heard too many of you lament... "If only I'd have known about USNA-Net during my Mid's Plebe Summer!" Now's your chance to fix that for another parent... to get them signed up before it's too late. Remember, it FREE!

This is a wonderful program that many of you have been requesting for months. It is just great!! I don't know about you, but I find I really need to be told something more than once for it to "stick," so this is why I am writing. It is SO EASY TO USE!! You go to the website: www.navy-usna.org click onto "Archives" in the menu items on the left of the page, and there it is. Actually the page has links to take you directly to the Archives (you will find these on the left side of the page), or a link to take you to the Search Engine. Mike and I worked on the page this morning to make this feature stand out - we have placed a yellow background on the right side of the page - and I think it looks better!! FIRST read the simple instructions. The MOST important thing to remember is to put the name of the list that you want IN LOWER CASE - this search engine is case sensitive. So, it MUST be: usna-net, usna-family, usna-plebe, usna-sports... You will be asked to supply a Username (brigade) and Password (submarine) and a page will open where you can put in what you want to look for. I searched this morning in the Plebe list for "care packages" and the search engine found 137 emails that mention this. All you need to do is click onto the underlined subject of the email in the list that comes up and that email will open for you. Hit your back button to return to the list. You can put names or specific words ...anything, and the email will have the "words" you searched for highlighted in red in the body of the text. Is this great, or what?? Please take a few minutes to try this out...it's only beneficial if it is used. And to all you Plebe parents...please remember to read the USNA-Net Parents' Handbook which is filled to overflowing with good advice and information.

This morning we received a message from one of our members that contained the LIFE _STAGES.TXT.SHS VIRUS as an attachment. If you receive ANY email that has an attachment, DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT!!! IT WILL INFECT YOUR COMPUTER. This is why attachments are forbidden on our lists. Our server also received a copy of this virus from this same member BUT filtered it and did not become infected. It did NOT transmit the message to USNA-Family but the virus attempted to send itself to everyone! You should be aware that you may be on this members email address list and have received a copy of the virus independently from our listserver facility. If you suspect you have received or been infected with this virus, please see http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/vbs.stages.a.html for information and disinfection procedures.

As one member said it so well a few days ago... "PLEASE take the time and make a conscious effort to respond on the Net (unless, of course, it is truly very private). That will make the Net what it is truly meant to be: a help for ALL." Your answers that go ONLY to an individual, most often, would truly benefit the entire group. Try to remember to send your responses via the Lists rather than to JUST the individual.

With membership growing at the rate of about 10 new members per day, I thought I'd pass on a few things to remember... It takes a little TIME to process and mail out all those messages each time you click on the send button. Please be patient if you don't see your message pop up instantly in your inbox. Messages are sent to the list in Alphabetical order so some of you will not see your message come back for as much as a half an hour or more. (Unless you are notified that there was a delivery problem, rest assured that it will go to everyone on the list.) Also with so many members, PLEASE be sure to send your message to the CORRECT list. All Plebe stuff belongs on USNA-Plebe. This is our most abused rule and it's just a matter of being careful when you address your message. Remember that more than half of USNA-Plebe is made up of Upper-class Mentors. So, there are plenty of us on this list to answer your questions. You don't have to send your questions to USNA-Family to reach the Upper-class Parents in order to ask for advice. The addresses (and current member counts) again... USNA-Family usna-family@navy-usna.org (991) USNA-Plebe usna-plebe@navy-usna.org (716) USNA-Sports usna-sports@navy-usna.org (531) Only your Moderators may post messages to the master USNA-Net (usna-net@navy-usna.org). Thanks for your understanding and patience.

I think that EVERY boat is there...along with many, many Mids and many Mid faces. Thanks to Linda and Harry Hobert and Andi and Dave Darone for sending these terrific shots! Linda's Mid even took some nice shots of a "Mid's Eye View" from his ship! Go to our website: www.navy-usna.org Click on the "Photo Gallery" item in the menu items at the left of the page.
