8.19.98 - GnomeNEWS

Hey gang! This is the Lockergnome Daily HTML newsletter! As you can see, this is MUCH more colorful in your Inbox. Plus, it'll be coming to you on a more frequent basis (for easier info digestion). I encourage you to stick with this NEW format--the best is yet to come! For those text fanatics, you'll also be getting the Text Weekly Digest at the end of every week. So just sit back, relax, and put your feet up on your desk (unless your boss is looking).



I'm playing with a loaded weapon, I know. But I don't run a virus scanner on my computer all the time because of the resources it loves to eat up. If they could only come out with a meaner, much leaner client, I'd be more than happy to let it have its way with my system.

But not all of us are running Pentium II 400's with 128 MB of RAM. We need all the memory and CPU cycles we can possibly get! Of course, some would say that to solve the problem, you just upgrade. Well, not everyone's pocketbook is lined with gold.

I'm not the kind of person who downloads from "illegal" sites, nor am I the type of person who leaves dozens of programs running at the same time on my PC. I have yet (knock on wood) to encounter or download a virus. Hopefully it will never happen, because I don't scan as often as I should.

GnomePROGRAM

dlTime v1.0 [82k] W9x/NT4 FREE

A little while back, I featured a JavaScript applet which would help you figure out how long it should take you to download stuff from the Internet (depending on how your connection speed and the size of the file). Here's something that's a tad easier to use. Simply plug in the numbers and dlTime does the rest for you. I also suggest you check out his Convert util (top rate).

GnomeCANDY

Windows CSRS Service Prank v1.0 [159k] W9x/NT4 FREE

What's the quickest way to make a computer geek freak out? Well, yes... but what if you don't have a picture of Abe Vigoda lying around? You throw this prank at 'em! Chances are, they've got unregistered (and pirated) shareware on their hard drive. This will tell them that their "software" info was recently sent to Microsoft via their Internet connection. Ouch!

GnomeFAVORITE

CoolComputing.com

We all have to deal with hardware in our lives. But if you're someone who needs to have all the latest info from a "real" person, swing by CoolComputing. Video Card reviews, benchmarks, processor news, and game stuff up the wazoo! I'd say 'cool' doesn't begin to describe this site.

GnomeDESKTOP

THEME: Up, Up and Away [961k]

Summer surprises are few and far between. I was talking with a pal the other day when I looked out my window and saw a hot-air balloon. I completely freaked out. Look Ma, No Power Lines!

GnomeTIP

Creating a new e-mail message is easier than you think. Try hitting WinKey+R (or using the Run command in the Start Menu) and type: mailto:user@user.com (of course, substituting that for the user's actual e-mail address). It should create a new message for your default e-mail client. You can even type the same thing on the Command line (otherwise known as a DOS Prompt) within Windows.
