10.29.98 - GnomeNEWS 99% of what you find in Lockergnome is downloadable--or you can see it somewhere online. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but I'd love to get into more software & hardware reviews. After all, a PC is made up of more than just an Internet connection. It seems, however, that without knowing the "right" PR people at a company, I get ignored. Sometimes, I'm lucky enough to receive an evaluation unit from a company, and I do my best to look at it. While I can't promise to review everything that flies through my mailbox, I can honestly say that I present you guys (and gals) with the best stuff that I find--online or offline. I do consider myself a member of the press; Lockergnome is one of the most widely read e-mail newsletters in existence today. Why haven't PR companies noticed this yet? why doesn't every downloader on this planet subscribe to Lockergnome? Why do advertisers not see the potential? I read other supposedly "great" newsletters flooded with advertisers--but there's virtually no content to go along with the mailing. I'm certain that anyone who'd want to advertise in Lockergnome would get more bang for their buck. But listens to a short guy in the middle of a cornfield? I guess it all falls back on not having a "recognizable" name. That's frustrating. I know several of you (out there) are running into the same problems with your sites. I hope that (someday soon) large manufacturers will recognize that the "small operations" are making the biggest splashes. Yes, Lockergnome is my full-time job. And until that "name" is a household term--it'll be a somewhat difficult struggle. This is dedicated to all of us "little guys" out there. Oh, wait... and gals! GnomePROGRAM HyperTerminal Private Edition v4.0 [741k] W9x/NT4 FREE If the name sounds familiar, it should be. An older version of HyperTerminal ships with W9x/NT4. However, it falls short in SEVERAL areas. That's exactly why you should download this latest (and still FREE) version. You can define key macros, set the terminal screen size, colors, and fonts, use pass-through printing to allow host systems to control your printer, use different WAV files instead of generic beeps, and exit the program automatically when you log off. This version also has updated entries for BBSs & telnet sites, a "flat" toolbar style, plus other numerous bug fixes & tweaks. Don't get hyper. Get HyperTerminal Private Edition!

WebFX (Web Graphics Tool) Can't find the right plug-ins to turn a "boring" web graphic into something a bit more interesting to look at? Here's a semi-perfect solution! Simply upload the graphic to your web site, load WebFX in your browser, choose which filter you'd like to use on the graphic, then apply it! All things considered, this is a relatively simple (and cheap) way to do some cool stuff with your graphics. "WebFX has eight different categories of effects, with a total of over four-dozen different effects." Several of them are animated! If you can't afford PhotoShop, this is a good "Internet-based" alternative. [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeFAVORITE Turn Your PC Into a Macintosh Don't be frightened--by loading up this page (at least in IE4), it will only give you the APPEARANCE that Windows is being magically transformed into the MacOS. Spooky? Oh yeah. I wasn't sure whether or not to be frightened or impressed. I chose to be impressed, as I'm sure you will be, too. Several of you forwarded this site on to me, and so I'm passing it along to the rest of you. It's a must see (if you haven't already loaded it up). I wonder if there's a similar site for Mac users to "pretend" load Windows on their machine? [ VISIT SITE ]

THEMES: The '80s TV Theme SuperSite My old roomie (and consequently, the best man at my wedding) is stuck in the '80s. His music, his style, his clothing--even his speech to a certain degree. We'd tell him to snap out of it, but he'd ignore us. Of course, he was the one who attracted all the babes when we went out, so perhaps being stuck in the '80s isn't such a bad idea. Here's a site that is FILLED with just about every television show from that wonderful decade. Action/Drama, Sitcoms, Game Shows, Commercials... and so much more. Totally radical, man! [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeTIP
There's a lot of information (and misinformation) floating out
there on the web. Have you ever found a passage that you wanted to
send to a friend? Try selecting the text, right clicking on it,
then copying it to the clipboard. I believe that both IE and NS
will do this for you, although they'll copy things to the
clipboard differently (depending on which version and which
browser you're using). Personally, I think IE4 formats copied web
text "the best," but make your own judgements. See, this tip might
be handy if you wanted to (let's say) copy and paste Lockergnome's
URL to another online bud.
