11.13.98 - GnomeNEWS 7 Alternate Ways To Use Floppy Disks 7. Tape them together and make small shelters for your paper clip animals. 6. Use them in lieu of frogs for biology class. Claim that you have viruses on the disk. 5. Melt them to the side of your house for the ultimate in weather protection. 4. Drill holes in them and become Zamfyr, master of the disk flute. 3. Use them to help measure your kid's height. "My kid stands 329 floppies tall!" 2. They make a great snack food. Much better tasting than rice patties. 1. Throw them at your wife when she complains that you're online too much. Okay, that was my first (sad, pathetic) attempt at a "top seven" list. I'd like to make this a "regular" thing for Friday HTML issues. Of course, I might need your help. If you have ideas about any "top seven" lists you'd like to see, let me know: seven@lockergnome.com. Or, use that e-mail address to submit ideas for next week's list: "7 Children's Games You'll Never See" GnomePROGRAM Hotfix Control v1.1 [228k] NT4 FREE WindowsUpdate, you gotta admit, is a pretty cool thing to have in Windows 98. It allows you to download the latest versions of applications, drivers, and bug fixes. So you don't have to worry about not having the latest version of anything. Windows NT users: listen up! Do you need to keep track of which hotfixes are applied, and when they were applied to a system? The information is already there, although not readily accessible. This program gathers that information (along with the filenames which are affected) into a list, and let's you view it quickly & easily. It'll even work with any computer on your network! You can also uninstall any hotfix, as well as open the closest-related Microsoft Knowledge Base article for it. Tell me that's not cool? [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]

Screeble v1.23r10 [43k] W9x/NT FREE Do you have the need to draw on your Desktop? I remember there being an old 16-bit app similar to this that worked in Windows 3.1. Sure, there are tons of "yellow stickies" applications out there, but what if you wanted to skip all that stuff and enter information right to the Desktop? Screeble will satisfy that need. It can be functional or fun. For functionality, you could enter messages that you don't want hidden from other applications. For fun, you could set a picture of your best friend as your wallpaper image. Then, draw a fake mustache on him/her. Unless, of course, s/he already has facial hair. Other great utilities are available from the author's website! [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeFAVORITE Thanksgiving Fun (Not Just for Kids) While this page has Thanksgiving music, games, poetry, and related links, I thought the best section was the Thanksgiving certificates page. They're perfect for place settings at your dinner table. They'll surely give everyone a smile when they go to sit down (kinda like a warm fuzzy). When printed out, each "award" should measure 7 x 4.5 inches. C'mon, let your friends and family members know why you're thankful for them. Unless, of course, you're not. In which case, skip the main course and go right for desert. [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeDESKTOP THEME: Taco Bell [1.2M] I used to live off of tacos (especially when I was living in San Antonio). It's good to know that there's a friendly Chihuahua in every large American city. Now, whenever I "quiero" Taco Bell, instead of running down to the local joint, I just load up this theme and feel satisfied. Oh, who am I kidding? I could use some hot sauce & some soft shelled fart bombs right about now. Seriously, that's what we used to call them! [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]

Okay, just in case you missed it the first time around, or if you
haven't heard about it yet, here's the Windows 98 Easter Egg. Open
up your Date/Time Control Panel applet (or simply double click on
the clock in your System Tray), and select the Time Zone tab. Now,
hold down the CTRL key and left-click & hold on Egypt. While still
holding down the CTRL key and your mouse button, "drag" Egypt to
Tennessee then let go of your mouse button (but not the CTRL key).
Click and "drag" Tennessee to Washington (state). Then, let go of
the CTRL key and your mouse button. That should work, though it
might take a little while to master!
