8.10.98 - GnomeNEWS No doubt you've heard by now that Windows 98 will possibly have an update available on the WindowsUpdate site starting on August 18th. While Microsoft is touting this as a MULTIMEDIA update, many Netizens are calling it a BUG FIX. Will there be multimedia updates? Yes. Will there be bug fixes? Yes. So will you need to get it as soon as possible? That's for you to decide. I know that one of the biggest parts of this update will be DirectX v6.0 (which is already available for download). If you're not a hard-core gamer, this might not impress you as much. And neither will the new WebTV Guide if you don't have a TV Tuner card. And what about the Windows Media Player (WiMP)? I can't even get mine to work NOW. I guess these updates don't seem mission critical to me, so I'm not exactly pumped about installing them on my system. I'm glad Windows 98 was released before these updates, because they're just not *THAT* cool. Nobody's perfect, but at least Microsoft is trying to make Windows 98 a little bit better a little bit at a time. GnomePROGRAM TurboZIP v3.0 [1.3M] W9x/NT4 SW$40 So what makes *this* ZIP program better than the one you're using now? How about *internal* viewing of several popular document & graphics formats? If that doesn't win you over, TurboZIP is apparently faster than the others I've seen (and used). It does everything (I assume) that your current ZIP program does, and a little bit more. So why wouldn't you want to use it? Good question. [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]

GnomeCANDY 3D Rad Game Creator v1.09 [2.4M] W9x FREE If you're tired of paying out the nose for "awesome" 3D games, why not make your own? You don't even need to be a programmer. Your creations will be fully distributable (without having to pay any royalty fee). You'll work with a 360° 3D engine, sound effects, advanced polygonal texture mapping, plus fog effects! Someone should make a Lockergnome game. [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeFAVORITE Update Anywhere I generally don't like software which tells me about updates available for my PC. But (I have to admit) I was impressed with this sucker. Not only did it find correct driver updates for my hardware components, but it also told me about ActiveX controls, commercial software, and shareware installed on my computer that there were newer versions available! It provides a link for downloading and/or saving right there in your browser (IE4). The cost is US$30 per year, but worth it. [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeDESKTOP FONT: Road Signs [296k] I was headed home the other day and just couldn't hold back the tears. I know people think I'm silly, but there's just something about a "Slow Children at Play" sign that always gets me right HERE, ya know? [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeTIP
What's so Historical about the Start Menu? Nothing, yet! Simply
right-click on the Start button, choose Explore, then in the
Explorer window which pops up, create a New Folder. Rename that
folder: History.{FF393560-C2A7-11CF-BFF4-444553540000} and hit
Enter. You can do that anywhere with any folder, too!
