Oct. 10--"Concise Guide" chs. 7 & 9

Of C. G. chapter 7: There is seem to be a suble difference between plagiarism and copyright infringement, Plagiarism is unethical; copyright infringement is a legal matter.
In regards to the Internet, one has to be wary of what not to do, such as not give credit to whom its due. I, personally attempt tp 'put' into my words what a writer of a web-site states. About Copyrights, with the HP%2--Instructions, I mad sure the copyright statement of the Website images I used were included. If my document ever [highly doubtful, but ya never know. . .] were to be seen by the owners/ Webmasters of "ActiveLog. com", I believe because I added their copyright statement, by law, I didn't commit an infringement. Plus, my document had been used for educational purposes, only.

Of C. G. ch.9--Its amazing how impactful images are! Whether the image is 'live' or in printed form, there is always some degree of "punch" [unless one is visual impaired]. Inregards to the HP#2, the actual use of the images I used were to guide the user, especially the new user, through this Web-site.
In our textbook, the authors briefly detail a program of Microsoft's called "Project" which according to the textbook, "makes it easy to create Gantt charts or organizational tree charts." I havw=e had a difficulty in getting my self organized for specific projects. I do plan to check into this, Microsoft's Website. Hopefully I can use this on my Operating System!!
