Penguin Puzzle is a lovingly crafted puzzle game with great gameplay and a unique look and sound. The game is set on the North Pole, where a freezing blizzard has caused lots of creatures to be frozen in ice cubes. Your goal is to release them. With a cast of penguins, polar bears, seals, birds, Eskimos and others, there's never a dull moment. Penguin Puzzle is one of those games that are easy to pick up, but hard to put down. It's got excellent graphics, sound and music. The bonus levels are lots of fun, they're like an extra game within the game! Everyone has a different playing style, so Penguin Puzzle lets you play a relaxed puzzle game without pressure, or a challenging brain-cruncher - or something in-between. This game is written by people who love what they do - and it shows! Right away you'll feel comfortable with it. There's a handy help page to remind you of the simple rules (though you could figure them out by yourself), and there's a tutorial which takes you by the hand. The Internet high score feature is excellent! And for once, there's a nice balance of young and old, male and female players. The game's wide appeal is truly a testimonial to its amazing gameplay. You don't need a super 3D card or the latest computer to play. Penguin Puzzle is an instant classic, and runs on most PC's using Windows. So give it a try!

A completely new game! No, really! Not just an old game with a different name and better graphics and enough little changes to evade copyright, but a whole new game concept. It's not Tetris. It's not Columns. It's not Puzzle Bobble. It's... Drippy!
It's a simple enough concept. Catch colored drips in your beaker and sort them into big gooey blobs. Drop stars into each blob - two stars and the blob explodes. The bigger the blob, the more points you get for blowing it up. Simple. Addictive. You'll soon be using Drippy-player catch-phrases like "Orange! What do you mean, orange?" and "No! Not THERE!!" Appears to suck time into some kind of black hole.
Remember, we aren't saying this game is addictive out of pure marketing hype. We're saying this because people play this game and tell us "Hey, this game is really addictive".
Play with the mouse or keyboard, your choice.

UNIC (Universal News Internet Collector) software is designed for the efficient online collection of the latest news that matters to you, so that you can read it offline, any time.
A key feature of UNIC is that you can read the news digests on either your desktop PC or your PocketPC.
UNIC downloads news items from top-rated news sites, parses them into categories, and stores them in its own database.
A user-friendly and intuitive program interface along with a comprehensive Help file will quickly familiarize you with all of UNIC's basic features:
1. Setting the website and categories list for news download.
To point the program to the news sites and categories that appeal to you, you need to check the appropriate sites and categories in the list of currently supported news sources.
2. Several methods for searching downloaded items: By keyword; By filtering: for category, for site, for time period; Advanced search using both filters and key words.
The last method significantly accelerates information search among all the news items downloaded by UNIC. If you only needed the entertainment news from a certain site, for instance, you would create a filter called "Entertainment" and use it for that particular news category.
3. Scheduled program start.
You can set UNIC to collect news on a schedule that you set yourself. You can have the news downloaded once every few minutes, hours, days, or even weeks. And-better yet-at whatever time of day you want.
If you are using a modem connection, for example, it may be more convenient for you to have the news downloaded at night, so that the latest news will be there on your computer in the morning, for you to read offline.
4. Creating .lit files for the PocketPC.
UNIC allows you to create manual or scheduled .lit files so you can read your news on any PocketPC that has Microsoft Reader installed.
UNIC offers a digest of the news you want, fully customized to your needs!

CyberSky is an exciting, entertaining, and educational astronomy program that transforms your personal computer into your personal planetarium. CyberSky provides an excellent way to learn about astronomy and to explore the wonders of the sky visible in the distant past, the present, and the far-off future.
CyberSky displays accurate charts of the sky as seen from any location on the earth. Sky charts can include stars, constellations, deep sky objects, and solar system objects, and can be enhanced by the addition of labels, coordinate system grids, and reference lines. CyberSky's user-friendly interface allows you to easily change your view of the sky, search for celestial objects, and display data about those objects. CyberSky also prints attractive sky charts that you can take outside with you.
CyberSky was designed to be simple enough to appeal to people who are just beginning to discover astronomy, yet provide enough information to be useful to people who have already learned the basics. CyberSky has the ability to quickly and easily show you what is visible today or next weekend, but it is also accurate enough to help with research involving the appearance of the sky in the distant past, for example, during the era of pyramid construction in ancient Egypt.
CyberSky's ease of use and amazing animation feature make it an innovative and motivating learning environment. CyberSky provides an excellent way to learn the names and positions of the stars, constellations, and deep sky objects, and to become familiar with the motions of solar system objects across the sky. Many of the most basic and interesting astronomical phenomena can only be observed over weeks or months of time, and by observing the sky from widely separated locations. CyberSky lets you do this; it places the sky under your control.
