OT: What freeware do you use? - Page 16

mikmeur9 · 24 Jan 2006, 03:25 PM

I'm using a free tool from http://www.***************.com for emails, message boards, image browsing.
Every click on a link with mouse middle button opens a second browser. This saves me a lot of time, since I'm not using the browser back button. Left and right button click closes the browser, left and middle click zooms a single image.
You can also quickly save any segment from the page to reference pages und use them as a bookmark.

Sounds good mikmeur9!

Does it block ads?

Is it easy to un-install?

I'm not sure about ads, but it has a popup blocker with option to preview popups for 5 seconds.
I uninstall it without problems. Good thing is that toolbar is not allocating a new line on your browser. You can move it next to the address bar and have it there along with yahoo or google toolbar or hide it.
It can also do a search with many categories. If you select something on a page and do a middle click, it will validate the selection and decide which search engine to use, open it with different calculators or open a map if it is an address.
I like also the reference pages, that let you add bookmarks with selected fragments from web pages.

Which IM Instant Messaging services works for many modern cell Mobile phones?

Here in sweden a new actor is trying to get us to use them.

http://www.mobispine.com/

they use a compression tech that makes it very low price to have constant contact with all your friends.

The catch is that they all then need mobispine so that is why I ask.

Are there such an IM that already works for most phones?

***Doesn't anyone like this freeware? I've used it for quite a while to hold interesting articles in the news. It's like notepad, but it's a little faster.***

Art of Illusion is a free, open source 3D modelling and rendering studio. The possibilities look endless, but require a steep learning curve. That hasn't stopped my 5 year old and 11 years old children from producing beatiful things with it. They seem to learn it the same way children learn languages. It's quite easy to produce simple things with it. The steep learning curve is required to produce the more complex things like those in their art gallery.

One thing: use "save" often. At least on my childrens' computers it tends to crash a lot (or actually crash the graphics driver that quite low end...).

I haven't (yet) tried this as I've only just downloaded it.

Festival (also links to the MBROLA project).

I'm hoping to be able to use this to replace three of the voices in my copy of Mahjonng Game Of Four Winds, because there's only one set provided and it's female, which makes my calls and those of the male computer opponent sound faintly ridiculous.

Are we allowed to advertise our own freeware in this thread?

I've just created a Pascal-to-HTML converter (166,955 bytes to download -- created with Borland Delphi 6 PE and compressed with UPX from the DJGPP suite); I also have the source code available (18,387 bytes).
