Reflections to Antoine-Music.ppt
If i was to pay anything to see Jay-Z in concert i would go all out. I know that he is a hard working rapper that has many important things to do, so i would just be delighted for him to come to Austin,Tx. However if there was a price to pay i believe i would have to drop out at the most $200. Im pretty sure that the concert would be worth and all the songs performed will leave me pleasnty feeling good.
However i don't think the ticket price is approriate. However the rap game is a bussiness and rappers have to get there money just as anyone else. So it would be ok.

Membership Information Summary
Today on Power Point i learned how to change a file name and re-assign a file to my lunch number. However it also took me through giving a file a new folder and saving it to my lunch number. Finally i went through to change the slides being of power point to putting them on a blank microsoft word document. The bad thing was that i didnt have to save it to the Word document and just destroyed it.

Today i learned that power point allows you to enlarge and decrease the sizes of slides on the splitter bars. I also revealed how to view all the slides in a formation of the numbers then go to the home pages of the slides. By just clicking on the slides you may go the whole entire presentaion and return back to the begginning of the power point. The Page Up and Page Down scrolls through the whole presentation to see the slides done and what order there in.
