1. FEATURED APPLICATIONS FOR THE PC
   SECRET WEAPON
 
   Web sites all over the Internet collect information about
   your PC, browser, and network configuration. Anonymity 4
   Proxy is an indispensable tool for those who value their
   privacy. The program includes a database of hundreds of
   anonymous proxy servers, so you can surf the Internet with
   complete anonymity. You can scan each server, check its
   response time, confirm its anonymity, and test its speed.
   Advanced features allow you to block information normally
   sent out by your browser and share an anonymous Internet
   connection with others over a local network. Anonymity 4
   Proxy can also generate a unique IP address for each HTTP
   request, modify HTTP variables, block cookies, and more.
   This is a 30-day trial version.

   GAME OVER
 
   You don't need a quick trigger finger to nuke Duke Nukem.
   All you need is AntiGame Plus, a no-nonsense utility that
   lets you remove games or any unwanted, outdated, or
   unauthorized applications from PCs. The program runs in
   stealth mode, so it does not appear on the screen or in the
   system tray, making it completely transparent to an end
   user. Its database contains signatures for thousands of the
   most popular games. Signatures are not based on file names,
   so renaming a game will not prevent its detection. Your
   searches can span an entire network, including servers and
   workstations, and a report displays the number of games
   found, games deleted, files deleted, and total bytes
   deleted. This shareware version detects 100 games.

   SPECIAL DELIVERY
 
   If you wish to send holiday pictures to friends or
   relatives, don't waste your money on postage. Digital
   Postman offers an easy way to send scanned images as email
   attachments. With a single click, the program scans a
   picture, opens an email message, and attaches the image to
   the message. All you have to do is select a recipient,
   complete the subject line, and send the message. Digital
   Postman supports the use of Automatic Document Feeders, so
   sending a multipage document is just as simple. The program
   is also smart enough to interface with your email program,
   enabling you to use your own address book, signature files,
   and mailing lists. Digital Postman is ad-supported
   freeware.

   BETTER LETTER
 
   If you've ever had to install new fonts or troubleshoot
   font problems, you'll appreciate the work that went into
   FontExpert 2000. This font manager and diagnostics tool
   enables you to find, organize, and preview your installed
   fonts. It also lets you install new fonts and view extended
   font properties. FontExpert's real strength, however, is
   its ability to detect problems and offer solutions,
   covering areas such as facename, filename, script
   conflicts, and bad font substitutions. The program can
   display selected character sets with descriptions of every
   letter, number, and special character. A character map even
   lets you zoom in and out on any font. This is a 30-day
   trial version.

   FRAGMENT FIX
 
   Slow downloads are the ultimate test of your patience. So
   how can you be sure that your modem is operating at peak
   capacity? Modem Booster optimizes your modem settings for
   efficient data transmission between your PC, ISP, and the
   Web. This robust utility addresses the main cause of slow
   Internet browsing: data fragmentation during transmission.
   By optimizing your modem, data transfer time is reduced so
   that you can surf, email, and download significantly faster
   than before. With Modem Booster, there is no need to
   understand terms like MTU, RWIN, TTL, and cache--simply
   click a button and the program will run the diagnostic and
   tune-up automatically. This is a 21-day trial version.

2. FEATURED APPLICATIONS FOR THE MAC
 
   STAY ON SCHEDULE WITH MACMINDER
 
   This digital appointment book is one of the easiest
   reminder programs to learn. With sound effects reminiscent
   of VH1's "Pop-Up Video," it walks you through the process
   of entering important dates, as well as your daily schedule
   and other reminders. MacMinder can verbally alert you of
   scheduled dates and events, and it also includes a space-
   limited diary feature for keeping personal notes on your
   daily activities. Your diary can be password- protected. A
   log can be set up to preserve a record of past
   appointments. This updated version has added a new Help
   palette and incorporates some minor bug fixes.

   PAINTING FOR CHEAPSKATES
 
   Remember when MacPaint was the hot-new thing in computer
   graphics? Well, now there's Painting, and it incorporates
   the best aspects of that old standby at a price so cheap
   it's almost free. Painting is incredibly easy to use, and
   has comparable features to those of many commercial-
   painting programs. It can import and export files in dozens
   of popular formats (depending on which version of QuickTime
   you have installed), and allows you to easily set and use
   hundreds of color combos, brush settings, preset art tools,
   and special effects. Painting supports Navigation Services,
   QuickTime 3, and OS 8 Appearance Manager. This update is a
   simple bug fix.

   PLAY HIDING AND SEEK
 
   Although this piece of educationware is based on SuperCard,
   it's a standalone app that doesn't require anything special
   to run on your Mac. Hiding generates colorful minipuzzles
   that help kids learn basic mouse manipulation and
   keyboarding, and to recognize letters, numbers, and words.
   When the software is running you see a black window with a
   keyhole that is moved with the mouse. Kids can push the
   keyhole around the screen until part of the hidden letter,
   number, or word is revealed. When they figure out the
   puzzle, they can type in the answer and hear sounds and
   words of praise. Hiding includes the 700 most frequently
   used words in the English language.
 
   FACT FILE:

   TARGETED TWISTING FOR TICKLISH TONGUES
 
   Can you say "six sick sea serpents swam the seven seas"
   seven times in succession, swiftly and successfully? Tongue
   Twister can, and in your choice of several amusing voices,
   too. This simple piece of HyperCard-based educationware is
   programmed to repeat over eighty ticklish tongue twisters
   on command. Kids can also type in their own frustrating
   favorites. Because the Mac's digital voices slow down the
   tongue twisters and separate the words better than most
   speakers can, teachers can help kids figure out why these
   silly sayings tie most people's tongues in knots.

   Obtaining news, stock quotes, weather reports, and movie
   reviews usually requires a lot of searching and drilling
   down to find the information you need. Actioneer simplifies
   the process by giving you access to all of your favorite
   Web destinations without the extra work. The natural-
   language interface eliminates point-and-click navigation by
   fetching information directly from partnering Web sites.
   Enter a short keyword followed by a word or phrase that
   describes what you're looking for, and Actioneer
   automatically interprets what you've typed and brings you
   to the exact page.

   KNOCKOUT EDITOR
 
   MS Word may be a capable word processor, but Boxer 99 is a
   text editor that appeals specifically to programmers,
   writers, engineers, and students. It features color syntax
   highlighting and printing, multiple undo, regular
   expression searches, and much more. An extensive array of
   configuration options are available, including the ability
   to define key assignments, screen colors, fonts, templates,
   and even specify external programs as supporting tools.
   Boxer's tabbed file interface, split windows, and multiple
   clipboards provide a smooth way to manage its considerable
   text-processing capabilities. This is a 30-day trial

   Are your favorite Web sites within easy reach? If not, try
   Linkman, a graphical URL organizer that lets you jointly
   manage Netscape bookmarks and Internet Explorer favorites.
   In addition to providing standard features such as add,
   edit, and delete, Linkman lets you search for duplicates
   URLs, validate links, check for page changes, and password
   protect your collection. It comes stocked with a database
   of more than 2,500 categorized links and a color-coded
   rating system that lets you quickly spot the URLs you want.
   You can even assemble your links into a single Web page,
   and have Linkman capture URLs from the Clipboard. This is a

   SCRIBBLE PAD
 
   Unlike pages in a book, you can't scribble notes on a Web
   page. However, if you're surfing with Marker, a slick
   browser utility that transforms Web pages into paper and
   your mouse into a colored marker, you'll be scribbling in
   no time. The program lets you annotate text on any Web
   page, and it notifies you when you visit a previously
   marked selection. Marker works alongside any browser, and
   it even works without a browser, should you wish to use an
   external list of bookmarks. If you prefer the look of those
   little yellow slips, you can use Marker to apply sticky
   notes to Web pages.

   If you spend more time organizing your files that using
   them, you may need a better tool for the job. PowerDesk is
   an Explorer-type file management and navigation utility
   that supports many compression formats. It features
   multiple window panes that allow you to work between
   folders, and a file viewer that can display and print the
   contents of dozens of file types. Folder synchronization
   enables you to compare and synchronize the contents of two
   folders, and a disk utility shows you exactly where and how
   space on your drives is being used. PowerDesk Utilities
   also includes an email attachment decoder, so you can
   easily open any problem files. This is a 30-day trial

   SHAPE SHIFTING
 
   Puzzle lovers and domino players will love this challenging
   game. Polyominoes may look like a children's game at first
   glance, but it can get quite intense. The idea is to fill
   in a shaped board with polyominoes, colored shapes made up
   of connected squares. Unlike dominoes, which are rectangles
   made of two connected squares, polyominoes are oddly shaped
   puzzle pieces that can be hard to place. You can, however,
   rotate and flip the pieces to try and gain an advantage.
   You can challenge your computer or, with the network
   version enabled, compete against other players. There are
   100 different boards to try, and varying levels of
   difficulty.

   MAKING A LIST AND CHECKING IT TWICE
 
   Occasionally, people such as teachers, writers, and
   students learning a foreign language need to turn text
   files into word lists. Word List Maker offers a powerful
   set of tools for creating several different types of word
   lists from one or more text files. You can create word-
   frequency lists, vocabulary lists, spelling lists, and
   more. Lists can be sorted alphabetically, by length, and by
   other markers. Another nifty feature will even hunt down
   anagrams for you. Registered users gain access to quite a
   few important features, including selection of multiple
   files and case-sensitive operation.

   FINDER-LIKE FTP
 
   Trying to find, upload, and download files via FTP ought to
   be easy, but some of the client software out there really
   makes you jump through hoops. If you're ready for a full-
   featured FTP client with an interface almost identical to
   the Mac Finder, try NetFinder. NetFinder will help you
   avoid the hoops and get started immediately. It supports
   auto-reconnection and resumes downloading after
   disconnection, offers improved support for VMS listings and
   WebStar servers, and works well with FTP archives in HTML
   format. This latest release is almost identical to version
   2.0.3 (it just removes an unneeded dialog), but if you
   haven't tried NetFinder or haven't updated for awhile, it's
   worth downloading.

   THE ONE-MINUTE BIBLE SCHOLAR
 
   It's a long book, but you can easily get through it in a
   year with a little help from EZ Bible. This program breaks
   down the text into short daily readings, allowing you to
   mark those sections you've finished, send them to a cache,
   and move on. It comes with a default text, the public-
   domain American Standard Version (ASV) Bible. Users may
   choose to substitute the King James Bible, which is
   available through the supporting Web site, or another
   translation available in electronic text format. EZ Bible
   also supports full-text searching. You'll need to register
   to continue using the program after two weeks.
