The answer may perhaps be found somewhere in the entries

NetworkActiv Web Server

NetworkActiv Web Server: "Simple and easy to use web server (HTTP server).

Many web servers are difficult to set up and have little (if any) of a visual interface. This program is easy to use and has a simple and effective visual user interface. With this program, you can make files and folders available to other people on the Internet. The other people can view and download these files with the ease and comfort of their Web Browser (such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla). Also, as you might expect from any web server, you can have it serve up web-pages to people that connect. "

1by1

Tired of creating and updating playlists? 1by1 is a very small sized player which is not only small: It plays whole directories without a playlist. Navigating through your tracks has never been so easy."

99 cent store DVD's

Bought some classic t.v. on dvd @ the local 99 cent store.
Each disc has 4 episodes. Though I only bought 2 discs of Ozzie and Harriet which were half hour shows. The number of episodes on the discs for hour long series such as Bonanza and the like may be different.
They also had The Beverly Hillbillies , Gilligan's Island , Red Skelton to name a few.

Tropic Island Hum

McCartney's new dvd released in late April of this year.
Animated children's story of Wirral the Liverpudlian squirrel.
He is always into so many things it is truly a task to keep track.

The real kicker is that the result is , more often than not, a very good product.

I haven't yet seen the flick, but am about to soon.
My nephew picked up a copy for me and soon I'll be able to check it out.
I'm betting that there will be some great moments, as well as some that
I probably would have left out or modified.
Peace

IE Personalizer

IE Personalizer
This program will let you change the default words in the titlebar from "Microsoft Internet Explorer" to anything you want.As you can see from the screenshot below mine says Richard's Internet Explorer.
This program is free to boot. I think it can still be found here.

Are you also tired of the look of your toolbar?
I use the same pic for my toolbar that I use as my wallpaper.
I do this by using a Microsoft program for Internet Explorer 5 called "toolbar wallpaper".
It works in my Internet Explorer 6.
Toolbar wallpaper can be found here.

Beatles desktop wallpaper

This is a pic I made using a photo editor.
A little grainy @ 1024 x 768, but the colors are pleasent and make for an unobtrusive,rather than screaming at you desktop pic, to a more subdued Peace out kinda feel.

Stained Glass Pic

Makes a cool wallpaper.
Especially if your using the 60's screensaver along with it.
In the settings for the 60's screensaver choose "use wallpaper" or something to that effect and your good to go.
You also could choose it as the pic for the "Flying Windows" screensaver.

My friends parents stained glass.

Picasa

Picasa's "hello" pic sharing/publishing program is a real snap to use.
examples include a 1024 x 768 wallpaper that I made and currently use.
A stained glass pic that also makes a great wallpaper.
