Lockergnome

9.4.98 - GnomeNEWS

I've retired Joe... the computer "who" started Lockergnome. Mr. Bigglesworth has taken his place. Don't ask for the brand (since they weren't very receptive to helping Lockergnome, I'm not going to bother mentioning who it is). Needless to say, I ordered it through the Internet (and on the phone). Thus far, I've only encountered minor glitches (all of which can be attributed to Windows 98 and some buggy software).

The whole experience was new to me, but I had purchased stuff on the Internet before. However, this time I was able to track every aspect of my computer's production (through a special web page on their server). Because of a backordered hard drive, they were originally expecting it to be a six-day wait. Much to my surprise, it shipped 4 days ahead of schedule! I could even track the Airborne Express pickup/delivery times, too. SLICK!

So what is Mr. Bigglesworth? He's a PII-450, 256MB RAM, 14.4GB 7200rpm, Millenium G200, TB Montego A3D PCI Sound, 19" monitor, Intellimouse Pro, 40x CD-ROMming screamin' machine. A lot faster than Joe. Don't worry, though... Joe'll still contribute to Lockergnome. I'll run the programs on him--an average machine--so as not to be biased with Mr. Bigglesworth's speed. Vrroooooooomm...

GnomePROGRAM

Avenger v2.28 [3.4M] W9x/NT4 FREE

Gadgets are my life; I recently purchased a hands-free telephone headset, and you all know the story about my IntelliMouse. However, I don't own a pager--YET. After seeing this program, however, I'm very tempted to go out and get one! So even if you don't have a pager, don't tune out quite yet. :) When run, it'll dial up your ISP and check for e-mail messages, local forecasts, headlines (AND MORE) then send them to your pager automatically (with no extra charges). Awesome! You can be away from your computer all day and still remain connected! For FREE!

SnoCorps Great FREE Little Games

If you're tired of playing those 8.4MB big-name games, try a SnoCorp one instead! They're designed with VB5 (runtimes available at the site), are small, and will surely keep you occupied for a few hours. Classics like "Guess The Number", "Memory", and Poker--plus a few other originals he's got up his sleeve. Obviously, these aren't going to have all the latest and greatest graphics, but they don't require a high-end video card to run well, either. Woo hoo!

Tritium.net FREE ISP

Juno is an excellent service for those of you who can't afford an ISP but want to send e-mail to friends and family. Tritium.net took everything to the next level; full-blown Internet access. While it isn't available in all areas, it promises to cover over 90% of the United States by year's end. You'll have to put up with advertisements at the bottom of your screen (and fill out a questionnaire every month), but that's NO price to pay for this kind of service.

THEME: Ferris Bueller's Day Off [831k]

Ben Stein may be the smartest guy alive, but he still didn't know where Bueller was. And I bet my eye teeth that he also didn't know that there was a Theme available for that wacky (but classic) 80's movie. Relive the adventures of the teenager that everyone hated to love and loved to hate. Rumor has it there's a sequel around the corner?

GnomeTIP

Looking for a Lockergnome FAQ? Well, I've got the beginnings of one on the "Options" page (which some of you have probably already seen). If you think that I could add an answer there, please let me know. While it's designed for Lockergnome newbies, I'm sure you old friends might learn something new, too. The key is: don't be afraid to write me, but don't write me about something for which you could find an answer on your own. :)
