Some ask computer questions and others send some cool URLs and software suggestions. I really appreciate and enjoy hearing from you - BUT if the information is placed on the mezzage board for ALL to see as opposed to email to that only I SEE then we all can ALL benefit. As far as tech support I just don't have all the answers nor the time, so again I must suggest the mezzage board where you are likely to get help from the whole group of us. http://theMezz.com/bbs _____ Win ME ______________________________________________ * According to the survey ( http://www.theMezz.com/polls ) only about 40% of us are planning to upgrade to WindowsME. The lowest price around so far is $49 at egghead software. http://www.egghead.com/atcost/solutions/microsoft/microsoft_me.htm _____Home Brew Boxes_______________________________________ * I spent weeks trying to find the right computer, with the right price - but I just can't seem to do so. At the urging of a couple of buddies I decided to build my own. While shopping for components I am running across some nice web sites, here are a few. I am shopping for a mother board and chip. SO if you guys have any suggestions as to what to buy or not to buy stop by the mezzage board and post your tips there - in fact if you cooked up a home brewed system, tell us about it at http://theMezz.com/bbs http://thechipmerchant.com http://cyberpowerinc.com/ http://www.aberdeeninc.com/index.html * Since we are in a tech frame of mind this is a good time to mention a store in Dayton, Ohio. Don't let this opening web page of Mendelsons fool you, they have TONS of computer electronics & tools. I learned of this store on PBS TV and it looks like it may be one of the greatest places on earth for gear heads. http://www.mendelsons.com http://www.mendelsons.com/specials.html ______ Time Sync __________________________________________ * Dimension 4 is a time synchronization app that is pretty cool. It has a few options but I have it set to load when my computer starts up, and when I connect to the internet - it contacts a time server - gets the official time - and adjusts the computer time, and then unloads itself. The creators of this app don't want any more but if you use it they "will just get a kick out of hearing from you". http://www.thinkman.com/dimension4/index.html _____ Freeware Games ______________________________________ (I have not tested these) http://homepages.enterprise.net/mcelhinney/ http://www.games-for-free.com/titles.html http://www.freegaming.nu/#Download http://freegames.org/ (over 230 games on stock) http://www.jumbo.com/pages/games/windows95/games/ http://www.freegamesonline.com/freeware.html http://pressibus.org/ataxx/indexgb.html http://www.freewareweb.com/games1.html http://www.galttech.com/arcade.shtml (some demos some free) http://www.freewarehome.com/category/games.html http://www.bcpl.net/wnidiffe/fun.html http://www.completelyfreesoftware.com/general_games_w95.html http://www.thefreesite.com/freegames.htm http://www.freeware32.com/file/games.htm http://freewarecorner.rockin.net/gcat.htm http://www.freewareplus.com/95docs/games.htm http://www.freewareworld.com/arcadegame.html http://www.moochers.com/ (click on the games link) http://pcwin.com/freeware/funstuff.asp http://www.freegamesonline.com/index3.html http://www.webflow.net/freegames/ _____ Tip _________________________________________________ You can reduce the time it takes for Windows to restart by holding down the SHIFT key while you select 'Shutdown'.
