good, select the normal camera-snap button to preserve the resulting hybrid

                image.




                  Note
                  You can do exactly the same thing in Paint 3D and even Photos; see “Photos”. Apparently,
                  Microsoft really doesn’t want us to miss this feature.





                Alarms & Clock


                Don’t be deceived by the name. This app does let you set up alarms, and it

                does have a clock. But it does more—so much more. It’s also a timer and a
                stopwatch.



                Alarm Tab


                If you travel much, this feature could turn out to be one of your machine’s
                most useful functions. It’s reliable, it’s programmable, and it’s fun to use
                (Figure 8-3).





                  Note
                  The alarm won’t play unless the machine is on and awake (unless your computer has a feature
                  called InstantGo, which keeps networking and clock functions going even when the PC is asleep).
                  Doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose? Come on—don’t be a killjoy.
