9.7.98 - GnomeNEWS

A day isn't complete unless I've received one or two "forwarded" messages from someone. You know what I'm talking about? The ones that say that some poor child is dying of cancer, or that Disney is giving away a free trip to Disneyworld? I have one word for you: FAKE! Do people really believe that Bill Gates can't wait to give away his hard earned money if you help him forward a message to others online? Really?!

If you want to show your Internet intelligence, stop forwarding messages like this. If it sounds "too good" or "too weird" to be true, it isn't. There's no such thing as a "good luck" e-mail message. They're junk, and they're almost worse than spam. So the next time you receive something like that in your Inbox, delete it. Don't turn around, just delete it. Life goes on. The Internet will move slightly faster.

Don't feel bad if you've done it before, just... don't do it again.

JoteSite's 3D Color Changer 98 [340k] FREE W9x

We keep hearing all this talk about 3D stuff, but we never see anything other than Games which take advantage of it. Sure, a file manager here and there, but they're nothing to write home about. I stumbled upon JoteSite and discovered a handful of 'JaSMiN appz'. The coolest one is the 3D Color Changer (while still in beta, it will be final very soon). This applet enables you to alter shadow & highlight colors to attain a solid "3D" look and feel in Windows. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg; the author has an outstanding site which was designed with Windows 9x power users in mind. And he's doing it from Poland!

Pass the Pigs (Java Game)
Found by a Lockergnome Subscriber

A long time ago, my brothers and I played this game (in real life). Although, I don't think it went by the same name. Still, it's just as much fun as it was back then! Bring a friend to your screen and see if you can make more bacon than s/he can! Let me tell you that scoring is a lot easier to do on the computer than it is on paper (at least for we mathematically challenged individuals). Be sure you visit this page with a Java-enabled browser (like IE4). Or download the game to play offline!

THEME: A Fungus Among Us [1.2M]

I haven't eaten pizza for a long time. My favorite topping: cheese. Well, that's not a real topping, it's a mandatory topping... but my favorite non-necessary topping is: mushrooms. Why do I like 'em? I don't know. I guess I'm just a fungi.

GnomeTIP

If renaming ourselves was as easy as renaming files in Windows, I'd have a million aliases. You can click once on an icon to select it, click again on the icon's text portion, wait 1 second, and edit away. Or select an icon, press F2, and edit away. But if you're a right-click type of person, just right click on an icon and select "rename" from the menu, then edit away. The IE5 beta allows you to right-click and rename items in the Start Menu, too.
