9.1.98 - GnomeNEWS I've always loved playing with electronic gadgets. Too bad the cool ones are so darn expensive! Now that I have a home office, there's a good excuse for getting goodies. Rather, that's what I convince myself to believe. My favorite new toy: a "handless" phone headset! Just about everybody talks on the phone... at least once a week. I found myself taking and making more phone calls lately, so I decided that it was about time I gave my neck a break. I headed on down to the closest thing Des Moines has to a gadget store and picked up an "average" headset. I love it. It's so much easier to talk on the phone nowadays... no more cramped necks. Plus, my hands are free to roam the keyboard... or, since I'm Italian, I can swing them around the room without putting down the phone. One day I'm sure those gadget companies will send demo units in my direction, but until then, I'll keep buying the good ones. GnomePROGRAM PC Temp Clean v1.4 [45k] W9x/NT4 FREE Gretchen has informed me that her office gets charged for the amount of space which is taken up on the server. So, in turn, she's taken it upon herself to clean out the temp directory and all those nasty little files that don't really need to be there (like GID & FTS). Here's an even quicker way to do it--by using this program. It'll remove everything in your Temp directory (as long as it wasn't created on the current date). You don't even have to know where your Temp directory is located! VB5 runtimes required. [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]

TitleWave v1.1 [443k] W9x/NT4 US$20 Windows 98 did wonders for the Active & Inactive Title Bar; when viewed in high-color depth resolutions, instead of one solid color, the Title Bar can fade between any two colors. But with this little gadget, you can use an actual IMAGE instead of colors! Beyond that, you can have a scrolling ticker (with trivia, stock updates, and humorous things). You'll never want to minimize a window again. [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeFAVORITE Harris' Hanger95 If you ask me for a "classic" Windows 95 shareware site, I'll send you to Harris. Why? He stays up to date, he has clear-cut categories, and his reviews are pretty much straightforward. Plus, he's put up a W9x Technical Help web board; post your questions (and possible answers) for every shareware junkie to read. I guess I've always enjoyed sites (and publications) which are crafted by one person--there's something about that personal touch which speaks volumes. [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeDESKTOP FONT: Yoinks [7k] Sounds like something which Shaggy said to Scooby Doo, doesn't it? While there's no mystery machine downloads with this font, you'd be wise to use it in "surprising" titles or when you want to be obnoxiously goofy in a document. You'll get your point across in a matter of seconds, with or without a haunted mansion. [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeTIP
When you're downloading stuff in IE or Netscape, instead of
relying on the download window for transfer progress, minimize it
instead. It should show some type of percentage when it's
minimized to the taskbar, unless it's coming from an FTP site, in
which case you'll see the actual file size transferred to that
point.
