Q How can I get instant sports headlines and scores?
A If you're after the latest sports news or scores, you'll want to pay a visit to a sports megasite like ESPNET SportsZone or The Sports Network. These monster sites are usually easy to navigate and offer info on nearly every aspect of the game.

If you've already read about the coach's resignation in today's newspaper, then you're ready for the facts and figures, which is what you'll get with the Realtime Sports FanTicker. This Java-based application provides continuing coverage of sports scores, highlights, transactions, and other news.

To set up the ticker, you simply type in a user name and, if you like, a password. You'll be asked which colors you'd like to use for your ticker, the time of day you'd like to receive the scores, and the teams you want to follow. Right now, you can choose basketball, football, baseball, and hockey, as well as major-league soccer and the Olympics. Once you have everything set up, click Float to place the ticker on your desktop.

ESPNET SportsZone also has a ticker for daily sports schedules that you can put right on your desktop. But you don't customize this one. You'll find the ticker on the home page next to the ESPNET logo. Click Display on Desktop to have continual programming updates.
