Stalk your prey with a rifle, shotgun, or?-for particularly dangerous turkeys--flamethrower. http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1261-13-59-58379-120827-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ Monkeys and Lemurs: An Exquisite Primate Screensaver If you're a fan of stunning wildlife paintings, especially those depicting lemurs and monkeys, this is the screensaver for you. The shareware includes 52 paintings from the late 1880s by wildlife artist J. G. Keulemans. Each is more elegant than the last. Registration is $10. http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1261-13-59-58379-120830-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ Drawing Hand: Watch an Artist Draw on Your Screen This shareware program is one of the more fascinating and hypnotic screensavers you'll find. As you watch, a disembodied hand draws on your screen--fine art such as works by Monet and Van Gogh; celebrities from Einstein to Elvis and Marilyn Monroe; animals; holiday art--in all, more than 200 different drawings. You can also create your own masterpieces, and the hand will draw them. Registration is $24.95. http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1261-13-59-58379-120833-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ DALiWorld: Artificial Life Aquarium Screensaver Everyone has a favorite aquarium screensaver--that's old hat. But here's one with a twist. This freeware generates artificial life. The fish actually sense their environment and react to it, so their behavior changes over time. And if you have networked PCs, the fish swim between the screens of everyone running the screensaver. It's freeware. http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1261-13-59-58379-120836-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ File of the Week: CubeShow--Put Your Own Photos on a Picture Cube The best screensaver is one you create yourself with your own photos. That's what CubeShow lets you do. You control the size, spin rate, and speed of a tumbling cube that displays your images on its faces. Pictures can be in JPEG, BMP, DIB, or WMF format. The utility is free for subscribers to the PC Magazine Utility Library. http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1261-13-59-58379-120839-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ About the author: Well-known shareware guru Preston Gralla has been writing about shareware for well over a decade.
