Mrs. Mecomber’s Scrapbook

I downloaded this last year and had the happiest time with it! It’s Desktop Snow for Windows. It’s a “free trial” program (the program costs $10). It has no limitations but it does have a nag screen. It is customizable– you can have light snow or blizzard snow. You can choose the have the snow build up on the bottom of your desktop, and have the wind blow it away. It really is adorable.

I had it on a computer with barely enough memory, and the program ran OK. But when I had several big programs open (like Firefox, OpenOffice.org, and a media player), the snow stuttered a lot. You can shut it off or turn it on at will. Whoever made this program did a really good job. Fun!

No one can imagine using internet without cable today. Having broadband is as important as having a computers software to keep the system running. An internet phone is of no use if on dialup. A lot of scripts take ages to upload and thus contribute to loss of a number of software patents.
