Put a 'Y' or 'N', 'Yes' or 'No', etc. in this section to tell us whether you choose to accept feedback from other traders.

Other artists I trade: Optional. If you leave this blank, the 'Other Artists' link on your page will read "No Other". Section is self explanatory. In your policy you might state that you only trade Dylan for Dylan, or that you trade any artist for any artist, etc. I'm looking for: Optional. If you
leave
this blank, the 'I'm looking for' link on your page will read "Nothing
Specified". We don't have the space or time to list 100 individual

statements
such as "I'm looking for soundboards from the Rolling Thunder Tour".

Q: I'm a computer newbie How do I 'copy and paste'?
Cut and paste, or copy and paste are two simple
procedures
that will allow you to more fully enjoy the benefits of your computer
experience.
Your computer is able to copy anything that you want it to. From a
single
word, to an entire book. To copy: click on the first word that you want
to copy. Keep holding down the click, and drag your mouse down to
include
the last word. See how it is highlighted? Everything that is
highlighted
will be copied. Move the mouse anywhere into the highlighted
area,
and it will most likely change to an arrow. While it's an arrow (or,...
while it's touching the highlighted area), right click your mouse (the
other button that you don't normally use.) When you right click, a menu
will appear. Select 'copy'. Now the material is copied onto your
virtual
clipboard. It will stay there as long as your PC remains on, but
remember...
only one thing at a time can be on your clipboard. No matter how small
or how large. If you do the copy procedure again, you'll lose whatever
is currently on the clipboard. You can now paste the contents of your
clipboard
anywhere you want. Keep in mind that the pages on the internet are in a
'Read Only' format. While you can copy anything you like, you
cannot
paste
anything to a website. Some sites have boxes that allow you to type
information
into. Here's the rule of thumb: Anywhere you can type... you
can
paste.
The exceptions to the rule, for security reasons, are most
password
boxes. To paste, right click again. From the same menu, click 'paste'.
Anywhere you can type... you can paste. Paste the info
into
an e-mail, onto your notepad, into wordpad or any word processor, etc.
etc.
