<FONT FACE="Verdana"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Folks, this is doing it the hard way!<BR>
<BR>
URLs can be compressed to fit on one line. Doing so will reduce heartache and other pains.<BR>
<BR>
Whenever you need to include a stupidly long URL in an email or posting, go to <BR>
</SPAN></FONT><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'><FONT FACE="Geneva"><B><a href="http://tinyurl.com/">http://tinyurl.com/</a><BR>
</B>And enter the offending URL.<BR>
<BR>
In less than a millisecond, you will be returned something like<BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Verdana"><B><a href="http://tinyurl.com/ydrcvc">http://tinyurl.com/ydrcvc</a><BR>
</B>And you will live happily ever after.<BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Geneva"> <BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Verdana">The service is free.<BR>
