Installing, Windows Style

No matter what application you're installing from your PC to your Storm, the
steps are the same. Use the following steps as a guide to installing the appli-
cation of your choice:
1. Download the application installation files to your PC.
Refer to the app publisher's instructions on how to download the instal-
lation files. This is the only part of the installation process that varies
from vendor to vendor. Some vendors allow you to download a ZIP file,
and some vendors do the extra effort of giving you a self-extracting file.
After following their instructions, you should end up with a set of files,
and one of those files should have an .alx extension.
2. Locate the application's ALX file.
You can usually find a file with the .alx extension in the folder where
you installed the application on your PC.
