Just use copy/paste, its' easier and you don't need a number pad. Just put a notepad note somewhere on your computer and save the symbols there you
use frequently.

Most laptops don't have a number keypad so the "Alt+(number) isn't an option.

A little boy was lost at a large shopping mall.
He approached a uniformed security guard and said, "I've lost my grandpa!"
The cop asked, "What's he like?"
The little boy replied, "Jack Daniels and women with big boobs."
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Little Bobby was daydreaming in class one morning. His teacher asked, "What are you daydreaming about?" Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse, go to the Deans
office. At the office the Dean said, "Bobby, your teacher sent you to my office and said you were daydreaming. What were you daydreaming about? "
Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse, go to the Vice Principals office. At the office the Vice Principal said, "Bobby your teacher said you were daydreaming
and sent you to the Deans office and the Dean sent you here. What were you daydreaming about?" Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse, go to the Principals
office. At the office the Principal said, "Bobby your teacher said you were daydreaming and sent you to the Deans office and the Dean sent you to the
Vice Principals office and the Vice Principal sent you to my office. What were you daydreaming about?" Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse, get out of my
school and go home. Bobby walked in the door and his Mom asked why he was home. So Bobby said I was daydreaming in class and the teacher sent me to
the Dean and the Dean sent me to the Vice Principal and the Vice Principal sent me to the Principal and the Principal sent me home. "Bobby, what were
you daydreaming about? Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse, you wait till your Dad gets home. When dad came home he said, "Bobby, your teacher said you were
daydreaming in class and she sent you to the Deans office and the Dean sent you to the Vice Principals office and the Vice Principal sent you to the
Principals office and the Principal sent you home. What were you daydreaming about? Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse, get out of my house. So Bobby went
out and sat on the bench at the bus stop. Sitting next to him a little old lady asked why he was so down. And Bobby said"I was daydreaming in class
and my teacher sent me to the Deans office and the Dean sent me to the Vice Principals office and the Vice Principal sent me to the Principals office
and the Principal sent me home and my Mom said wait till my Dad gets home and my Dad threw me out of the house. "What were you daydreaming about?"
Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse, and she ran out in the street and got run over by the bus. The moral of the story is: Look both ways before you cross
the street.

Just for that, Ima tell an Italian Joke
Un italiano camminava per la spiaggia in baja california, tutto
assorto in preghiera. All'improvviso grida: "Dio, concedimi un
desiderio!!" Al che il cielo sopra di lui si oscur? e, con voce
roboante, Dio disse: "Poich? hai avuto fede, ti conceder? un
desiderio. "Creami un ponte fino alle Hawaii," chiese l'italiano,
"cos? posso andarci quando voglio."
Il Signore disse: "E' un desiderio molto materialistico, pensa
all'ingegno che richiederebbe una simile impresa. i costi per
arrivare fino in fondo al Pacifico! La calce e l'acciaio che ci
vorrebbero. Potrei farlo, ma come potrei giustificare la materialit?
del tuo desiderio. Prenditi un p? di tempo e pensa ad un desiderio
che mi onori e glorifichi."
L'italiano ci pens? a lungo e alla fine disse; "Signore, sono stato
sposato e divorziato per 4 volte. Tutte dicevano che ero trasurato
e insensibile. Desidero di poter comprendere le donne. Voglio sapere
cosa provano intimamente, cosa pensano quando stanno zitte, e perch?
piangiono, che significa quando dicono: "Niente." e come posso
renderle veramente felici."
Dopo qualche istante Dio disse: "Ci vuoi 2 o 4 corsie su quel ponte?"

Although I am sure
the Italian joke was purely "Baja" related, I have to wonder how many on here could appreciate it.

Thanks, Roberto . . .
. . . for the heads-up. I wish you had warned me sooner.

?Eh? ?
Alt+0191 ?
I just use the Character Map ?? utility that has been a part of Windows since ... uh ... since, version ?3.1??
Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Character Map?
At least that's where it's currently located. Other versions might vary, but you will have it. The short-cut will be listed in the lower right. It's
just easier for my ?-brain to look it up than try and remember those alt+codes. ?

I was following windows help. It says you can drag n drop from the character map into a text doc. Only it worked for just a couple of random
characters: ? ~ ? ? ? & #
All the rest ended up being character ref #: #1574 and so on. Obviously the Nomad software doesn't recognize them all.

How can I get the 'degree' symbol (the little circle after a number in the upper corner, after a temperature or a GPS waypoint degree)? I found it on
my WebTV keyboard, but it's not in the same place on my PC keyboard!
Gracias!

Now my head hurts. I don't know whether it from standing on my head, or trying to figure out what the hell you guys are talking about.
Sharky, do really understand all this stuff, or are just faking it. I'm impressed dude.
