10.8.98 - GnomeNEWS

When I first started this Lockergnome mailing list, maintenance was relatively simple. However, now that it is going out on a more frequent basis and in two different formats, maintaining it has become a full time job. However, you can help us (and other list administrators) by remembering the EXACT e-mail address you used to subscribe to a particular newsletter. That makes the unsubscribing process virtually hassle free.

Write it down, put it in a special text file, yellow sticky, etc., or even use a separate e-mail address for all your newsletter and list messages. That way, you're not having to choose between 15 addresses when one of them doesn't work when you try to unsubscribe from a list. The average Net user probably has more than three different addresses, and most often, they are forwarded to the same account. That translates into major headaches when you don't know what SPECIFIC address you used to subscribe.

Until software gets up to speed, play your part as a learned individual. It is extremely frustrating (on both ends) when someone wants to be removed from a list, but they can't tell us which address they used. Believe us when we say that if you don't want to read it, then we don't want to send it to you. Nobody can remove something which isn't there in the first place.

BIOS Information Utils [35k] W9x FREE

Joe (my old computer) was a pain in the window. Since I purchased it from a "popular" manufacturer who didn't feel like they needed to ship important documentation along with the computer (How Polite), discovering specifics for individual components was a chore. It was like putting the cart in front of the horse every time I wanted to know something about Joe. Here's a couple of utils that should work on just about any computer. The first one should show you the Award/AMI BIOS number (and possible manufacturer)--this could come in handy if you need to upgrade it, or if you just want to know. And, if you want to know the name of your chipset, try downloading and running the second utility. Information for all!

PicSaver v2.1 [301k] W9x/NT4 FREE
Found by Tony Nolfe

Some people say that a picture is worth a thousand downloads. I think they're exaggerating just a little bit. But what if you have quite a few pictures on your PC, and you want to view them (in slide show fashion) as a screen saver? Instead of that 3D text (or the flying starfield) you could be seeing your favorite graphics! This particular version supports JPG, GIF, BMP, DIB, JIF, RLE, PCX, and TGA formats. Select delay time, background color, and even how it appears (or moves) on the screen! Just don't make everyone huddle around your computer every time you feel like pulling out old vacation photos.

All About Cheese

Growing up, I used to get toys as presents. As puberty set in, I started receiving rather unexciting socks and underpants. Now, if people want to thrill me, they give me cheese. I love cheese. You have no idea how MUCH I love cheese (not as much as I love Gretchen, but pretty darn close). Unfortunately, I know I'll never be able to taste all the cheeses in the world, but at least I can visit this site to find out all about cheese! You can explore (alphabetically, by country, by type of milk, or by texture) the hundreds of cheeses that populate this cheesy world. What's my favorite cheese so far? Brie. My least favorite so far? Swiss, but I'll still eat it.

FONT: Blockquote [13k]

In the early days of HTML, I ate, slept, and drank tags. Of course, my health suffered severely because of that. HTM was nothing but empty calories. One tag (I could honestly say) I never used was Blockquote. In fact, I believe this tag was eventually dropped from newer HTML versions. This font, however, stands a good chance of surviving. It's not perfect, but it's different. If a bad typewriter and Helvetica had a kid, you'd get Blockquote.

The world's smallest suitcase just got bigger. Here's another nifty folder shortcut for Windows 98 & IE4 users: Right-click on the Start button, choose Explore, then in the Explorer window which pops up, create a New Folder. Rename the folder to the following and hit enter:
