PureText

With PureText you can copy text from a web page or a document and paste it as a simple text in another application, without the formatting. Using PureText is plain simple, use its hot-key to paste text instead of using the standard CTRL+V hot-key. To configure PureText, right-click on its tray icon and choose "Options" from the pop-up menu. The default hot-key is WINDOWS+V, but this can be altered. Please note PureText removes only the rich formatting from text. This includes the font face, font style (bold, italics, etc.), font color, paragraph styles (left/right/center aligned), margins, character spacing, bullets, subscript, superscript, tables, charts, pictures, embedded objects, etc. PureText would not modify the actual text, and will not remove or fix new-lines, carriage returns, tabs, or other white-space. It cannot be used to fix word-wrap or clean up paragraphs. PureText v2.0, a mere 28 KB utility, can be downloaded at http://stevemiller.net/downloads/puretext20_x86.zip

TWO EYES

Do you know the relation between two eyes?

They never see each other....... ... BUT

 They blink together
   They move together
   They cry together
   They see things together
   They sleep together
   They share a very deep bonded relationship
However, when they see a woman, one will blink and another will not.

Moral of the story:





Woman can break any kind of relationship! !!
