- The first is the After Dark Star Trek screen saver, a stand alone or add
- on to After Dark. It lists for like $38. IMHO, its not worth it. The screen
- savers aren't that good at all, and a few aren't really even screen savers.
- Definately a look real good at it before you buy.
-
- The second can be one of three things, Wired for Sound Pro, Whoop it up!, or
- Icon-Hear it. All 3 are *EXCELLENT* with the first 2 being shareware, and
- the last selling for around $28.
-
- Hope I helped.

- Merry Christmas...
