11.23.98 - GnomeNEWS Most power users already know about this wonderful piece of software; amazingly enough, it actually does what it says it'll do! Partition Magic will help ANY USER manage their hard drive(s). In certain situations, this software can actually add more space to your existing hard drive (especially if you're within the 1.0 and 4.0 gigabyte range). It all has to do with the way FAT was originally set up for floppy disks no larger than a single megabyte. If that sounds like Greek to you, keep reading--Partition Magic is very user friendly. While I don't recommend that novices start messing around with hard disk partitions, if you ever plan on doing so, I strongly suggest using Partition Magic 4.0. It's the latest version of the already-tremendously popular hard drive manager. If you boot, or plan to boot, into any other operating system (Linux, NT, OS/2, etc.), then Partition Magic can help. This version even comes with BootMagic--a great utility to help you manage multiple OSes on the same PC. Format your drive for different OSes, maximize your disk's capacity, boot into different OSes, and manage everything from a familiar GUI. In fact, a PC without Partition Magic is like a chocolate chip cookie without the milk. A long time ago, I ran into someone who was looking at an older version of Partition Magic--I told him that it was a great piece of software (and it is). When I introduced myself as Chris Pirillo, he flipped out--apparently, he had been a Lockergnome subscriber for a few months! CLICK HERE to search for the lowest price on Partition Magic 4.0.

Ya know, when a fuse blows, you usually have to rely on your watch to reset all the clocks in your house. But what if your watch is 15 minutes slow? I guess that means you'll probably miss that "important luncheon" tomorrow. That's where utilities like AboutTime come in handy. If you haven't synchronized your computer's clock before, it's AboutTime you did. It's quick, accurate, and (this program is) configurable. Yes, there are different "time setting" utilities out there, but I found this one to be the "fastest & easiest" to use. It's "careware" from the author of Arachnophilia (a solid HTML program). So, be sure to FIND THE TIME to do something nice for someone else today. [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeSYSTEM IntelliMouse Wheel Does Not Work Properly "This behavior can occur for any of the following reasons: You are running an incompatible software program, The IntelliMouse driver was not installed correctly or is damaged." Gee, I could have told you that. However, possible solutions are outlined here for those of you having problems. [ DOWNLOAD ]
GnomeCANDY Minos v2.2 [891k] W9x/NT FREE Every time I turn on the television, I see an advertisement for some type of CAD training. Then I remember when I had to support CAD users in our University's computer labs. Those programs were DIFFICULT to navigate (well, I'm sure once you get used to them, they're a snap). If I ever wanted to do something with CAD, I'd have to purchase a program for hundreds of dollars. That is, unless, I downloaded this FREE CAD program. It does 3D stuff, too (which, I suppose, is a major reason for CAD's existence). This newer version even supports VRML output--throw your creations onto the web for the world to enjoy!

GnomeFAVORITE Y2k Informant Doomsday is right around the corner. No, wait... I already got married. Actually, I was referring to the Y2k bugs that are somewhere out there, waiting to attack and destroy your life. At least, that's what some people think. Others believe that there won't be as much chaos as some would leave you to believe. What do I think? I think it's a problem that we have to deal with, but the time for preparation has already passed. If you need a good site for Y2k resources, be sure to bookmark this one. They advise you to STAY INFORMED. That's damn good advice. [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeDESKTOP FONTS: The Bluefonts Blue is a calming color (believe it or not, there's a psychology to hues). And apparently, bluefonts are pretty darn exciting. There's a blue century (100 years of depression), blue carnage (messy, but pretty), blue olive (aren't they supposed to be green?), blue cake (the frosting's been out a little too long), blue skin (mine is crawling), blue moon (oh, you knew it'd be there), blue storm (rain that stains mainly shirts which are plain), and a few other blue things. I think I need some red now... [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeTIP
I don't understand how someone can have a Start Menu with more
than 15 subfolders. Heck, I have it whittled down to 6. Anyway,
you'll find that if your Start Menu program folders scroll off the
screen, a little black arrow will appear at the top or bottom of
your list. The same thing happens with your Favorites & History in
IE4. To speed up the process, be sure to hold down the CTRL key
while you scroll. It'll move a lot faster when you do.
