9.21.98 - GnomeNEWS As you know by now, I try to feature only the best stuff that I can find online. This is positive and negative at the same time; you are used to seeing the "good" stuff, but remember, so is every other subscriber. That usually means a featured site gets flooded with responses and requests--sometimes the server has a difficult time handling the load placed upon it. In turn, it'll appear that the site is "down" or something along those lines. I'm telling you right now: don't tell me about it. I'm not upset, I'm just trying to help. While I appreciate the comments, I really can't do something about a site that's down because I sent too many people to it. It'll come back up nine times out of ten. Give it a couple hours, or days if that doesn't work. But don't tell me it doesn't work--chances are, I already knew. It will only get worse as more and more people find out about Lockergnome, and download/visit the stuff that's featured. For most shareware authors, Lockergnome yields the highest amount of hits for them (moreso than any other shareware site). While we're on the subject, sometimes a site will move after having its URL published in Lockergnome. Again, there's really nothing I can do about it. If the author was wise, s/he would have put up a referrer on the old URL. And if you have feedback about a particular product--don't tell me! What can I do about it? Tell the author! S/he'll be able to do more with it than I would. I appreciate all the feedback you send me regarding Lockergnome, but be sure it wouldn't be wiser to send SOME comments to someone else. GnomePROGRAM Litestep vß23e Windows 95 was a "step up" from Windows 3.1. But W98 wasn't all that much different from W95 (unless you hadn't used IE4 before). When I last told you guys (and gals) about Litestep, it was still in early beta stages. However, now it's really starting to take shape. Litestep is basically the next "step" up from the traditional Windows user interface, with an X-Windows flavor. It's MUCH "cooler" looking, infinitely more customizable, and takes up less resources & CPU cycles than the Explorer Shell. While I don't suggest that novice users play around with it at this point, intermediate and expert users will definitely want to scope this out. Network admins might even use it as a solid replacement for the "Explorer" interface. Download modules, themes, and other Litestep utilities today! [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]

FoxPlay 98 v7.12b [244k] FREE W9x/NT4 Are you crazy? Like a fox? If you have to purchase a new hard drive soon because you keep too many multimedia files, then you're probably in need of a good "jukebox." Just when you thought Microsoft would have created something perfect, they released a wimpy WiMP. FoxPlay will help you organize and create playlists for your MIDI, MOD, & MP3 files. mIRC users might remember the old (and buggy) FoxPlay, but this is a new version that performs much better. It's less CPU-intensive and allows for unlimited queuing. It's like having your own Wurlitzer... without all the bubbles. [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]

Semantic Rhyming Dictionary Poetry was something that I quite liked to write, but since starting Lockergnome, I waste half the night on finding good downloads for you to enjoy (whether you are a female or just a coy boy). When words wouldn't come to my fingertips near, I consulted a book and threw back a beer. After rubbing my eyes a few times (and then laughing), I sputtered and stammered and found this site baffling. Could it really be simple to search for such rhymes? Just like Candice Bergen, the chick who likes dimes. Nay, I say, there's a brighter day! With a point and a click--you're well under way. So do as I do, and not as I say! Or ignore this whole thing and hasten your stay. [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeDESKTOP THEME: Werewolves of London [1.1M] Halloween is right around the corner (time to break out one of my favorite movies, "The Nightmare Before Christmas"). So where are the werewolves this year? Apparently hiding out in this howlingly good theme. Don't click on it with a silver cursor or you just might kill it. Of course, I'm kidding. You can't kill things with your cursor. [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeTIP
E-mail is used almost more than any other application online.
Think about it... what's the first thing you do when you log on?
Here's something that might speed up the creation of a new e-mail
message for you. Right-click on your Desktop, Choose New, Select
Shortcut, enter "mailto:" as the Command Line (no quotes,
including colon), hit the Next button, name it whatever you want,
and Finish! Any time you click on that Shortcut, it should open a
new e-mail message in your default e-mail client.
