Natural gas prices lower
BISMARCK - The price of natu-
ral gas for the upcoming winter
heating season is expected to be
down about 4 percent fi'om last
year's very low prices.
"This is great news for our cus-
tomers and reflects the extreme
economic value of using natural
gas." said Dave Goodin, president
and chief executive officer of
Montana-Dakota Utilities.
However, while prices continue
to remain low, the weather will be a
factor in how much customers will
have to pay each month. Last win-
ter's mild conditions - reported as
which runs from November to
March.
"'The cost of natural gas has
dropped a little again this year.
mainly because domestic produc-
tion continues to he strong and nat-
ural gas in storage continues to be
ample," Goodin said. "It's a good
time to be a natural gas customer.
especially when compared to other
fuel sources.
The price outlook for this year's
heating season assumes no serious
supply disruptions or extreme
weather impacts on supply and
demand. Prices also are subject to
the warmest winl;er on record in monthly chances based on the fluc-
many parts of the country - played i=, tuations in the wholesale market.
a big role in customers" bills. Not
Only were natural gas prices low,
but consumption was low because
of the warm weather.
If usage this winter returns to
normal, even with lower commodi-
ty price expectations, Montana-
Dakota's natural gas customers can
expect to spend a little more than
last year to heat their home.
Comparing average winter usage to
last year's mild winter, a typical
customer can expect to pay about
$7 more per month, or roughty $35
for the five:month heating season,
Monta]m-Dakota continues to
encourage customers to use energy
wisely and continue individual con-
servation efforts. Conservation tips

Yes, some days
Some days I hate Windows: so I
just found some shortcut tricks to
help with that.
I am hoping they make me feel
better. While attending a meeting of
the Billings/Golden Valley County
Council on Aging, I listened to a
presentation of all the North Dakota
sites available on Web for seniors.
With some surfing I found this site:
www.seniornet.org. This was not
prepared by North Dakota and is
almost too nmch to look at, but
smile, 1 have condensed some of it
for you. Here we go.
These are the keyboard shortcuts
tbr minimizing and maximizing a
window even if you are on the
Interact or just on the PC. To mini-
mize all the windows you can use
the keyboard shortcut "Windows
Key" + "M" or you can also use
show your desktop (Windows Key
+ D). I prefer the shortcut to show
desktop. This is because you can
press it again to show the last active
window. It works more like an
on/off switch. If you want to mini-
mize only the active window and
not all windows, press all + space-
bar and then press N. Yes, this can
be used with the lnternet browser
open along with other windows
such as Word.
Sometimes when you open an
application and if it opens by cover-
ing only half of the total window
size and if you would like to maxi-
mize it, you can use the shortcut
keys ah + spacebar and then X. To
close an active window, press alt +
spacebar and then C.
If you go to the site listed above
you will find topics prepared with
video and text to explain many other
topics such as adjusting your date
and time on the PC or how to move
text inside a document.
