9.8.98 - GnomeNEWS I'm only a couple of years out of college, but I look back on those years fondly... kinda sorta. I remember being overcharged for everything--especially books. What kind of deal is this? The US Government is all over Microsoft's case, but they allow college bookstores to sell books to students for $400.00 and then, five months later, they buy them all back for $24.95!? What kind of scam is this? Can this sort of thing be happening in *gasp* America? Sorry, but that's pathetic. Oh sure, they try to defend themselves by showing where the money goes, but (frankly) I don't buy it. Rather, unfortunately, I was pretty much FORCED to buy it. I know of a couple universities which don't charge their students for books--which is the way it SHOULD be. Man, I'll be paying off student loans until my grandchildren have grandchildren of their own. Crazy way to start out in society, ain't it? Sorry, I'm finished ranting now. GnomePROGRAM W3C's Amaya v1.3 [1.9M] FREE W9x/NT4 This site optimized for blah blah blah... but does it adhere to the W3C's standards? And what about future implementations and tweaks? Had you even heard about MathML (which allows you to format mathematical equations easily for the web). Enter Amaya, the W3C's own test-bed browser/authoring tool which is used to demonstrate and test several of the new developments in Web protocols & data formats. For something not created by a "major commercial name," Amaya holds its ground. It's WYSIWYG, but it adheres strictly to the W3C's guidelines. It won't get any more "official" than this!

GnomeCANDY Comet Cursor Plug-in v1.0 [30k] FREE W9x/NT4 Anyone who knows me well knows that I really dislike downloading and installing Plug-ins. Great idea, but there are too many of them being used by far too little websites. Anything from Macromedia is awesome (it's used everywhere), but are there any others worth looking at? Yes... the Comet Cursor! While some might find it annoying to have the cursor change as you hover over different areas on a web page, I find it intriguing for both site developers and surfers. Installation is a snap with IE4; you'll see the results immediately! Small, easy, and cool! [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeFAVORITE The Naked PC Newsletter No, it's not what you're thinking. There's nothing X-rated about this zine. I've only received a couple of issues thus far, but each one of them has been worth reading. It's written in a very personal tone (gee, that sounds familiar), but it's more intense and in-depth than Lockergnome. That's not a bad thing, either. >From top to bottom, the e-mail message is filled with quality content. While it aims to inform novice users, I've found it more relevant to average and advanced geeks. Delivered weekly, the Naked PC won't hang you out to dry. [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeDESKTOP FONT: DingleBerries [20k] It's not what you're thinking... no, really! If you're lacking the "silly" gene, then this font will easily take its place. But don't start giggling when you view it, or else you laugh uncontrollably when you actually use it. The curls will tickle your typeface taste buds! [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeTIP
I really dislike the new WiMP (Windows Media Player). I don't
really want it associated with anything. Ever have "one of those"
programs which sets itself up as the default program for a certain
file type? Hold onto the SHIFT key, select an icon (program or
file type), right-click on it and select "Open With..." from the
menu. A small "selection menu" will pop up. If the program you
want to use as a default isn't there, click the other button and
"find" it. Remember to check off the "Always use this program to
open this type of file" switch.
