IPSwitcher v1.0c [2.0M] W9x FREE

Changing your mailing address is relatively simple to do, but imagine if you had to do it every day. That would get very tiring. Unfortunately, Windows 9x wasn't designed to handle more than one IP address configuration. IPSwitcher will allow you to edit, configure, and switch between an unlimited number of IP configurations. If you've got a laptop (something I really, really, really need), this will come in extremely handy. Rebooting is necessary between changes, but it'll still save you major time.

Before You Install Windows 95 or 98

On this one page, you'll find helpful online documentation for upgrading or installing these operating systems (Software & Hardware Compatibility Lists, Tips and Suggestions, Troubleshooters, etc.).

GnomeCANDY

Festive Fun 98 v1.0 [967k] W9x/NT FREE

I discovered that there are a million and one Holiday screen savers out there--some of them good, some of them not-so-good. But here's one that I'm sure you'll love. I featured the 97 version last year (for good reason)--it's cool! And this year, it's even better. Cartoony penguins, stars, teddy bears, angels, holly, and snow fly around your screen in random patterns. Perhaps in next year's version you'll see a Christmas Gnome bouncing around with the other characters?

GnomeFAVORITE

GuideStar.org

There are hundreds of thousands of non-profit groups all over the world. Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to find ones related specifically to your interests... that is, unless you're using this site. Guidestar is a complete resource for non-profit related information and news. You can even search through their (rather large) database of other non-profits. So, if you're part of an NPO, or if you're wanting more information about a particular NPO, this site will be your best guide.

GnomeDESKTOP

THEME: Santa's PC [544k]

Perhaps the 21st Century Santa will come sliding through our phone lines and into our computers? Besides, hardly anyone I know has real chimneys nowadays. Wouldn't that be awesome to go to sleep and wake up with a brand new Dual-Pentium system with 1.0 gigabytes of RAM installed? Oh, Santa... you're my new bestest friend. Hey, if sliding down a chimney is possible, then anything is. I think I'll leave out some milk and cookies by Mr. Bigglesworth...

GnomeTIP

Lockergnomie "Treepusher" told me about this AWESOME tip: Everyone has a virus scanner installed (if not, you really should). First off, be sure the data files for it are up to date. Secondly, place a shortcut to your virus scanning program in your SendTo menu. This way, you can scan any given file on the fly (particularly if you don't want to have your virus scanner program always taking up memory). Click on the Start Button, select Run, type "SendTo" (without the quotes) and hit Enter. Then copy (or create) a new shortcut to your virus scanning program in that folder. What a resource saver!
