FREELOADER

An off-line browser. The cool thing
about this type of software, is seeing
how fast the pages load from the
hardrive instead of the internet. It
doesn't do Java!!! Like really cool

and categorize the pages in a filing
cabinet like thing-a-ma-jig. Simple eh?

NET VAMPIRE

I vant to suck you blood. Nothing
ghoulish about this product. It
schedules downloads and does the

a download at a later time (if the
server supports this). (1.1MB)

ALEXA

This product helps you surf (the web
not water). It gives background information
(if it has any) on the sites you visit. It can also
give you where-to-go suggestions (I guess you
better not tick it off). It also (supposedly) archives
past pages so if you get the dreaded 404 error it can
bring up the original page - if it ever existed. (1.7MB)

WEB TURBO

This program gives little previews of
upcoming web pages. It also has a search
feature that lets you search multiple engines.
It is free because it is ad supported. I found it
rather annoying though. They try and load too
many ads, constantly changing them, which is
both annoying and also wastes bandwidth. (1.6MB)

NETMETER

Check your bandwidth. See if your internet provider is "giving
it to you". Or perhaps it is just a slow server. Whichever, this
meter gives you a real-time look. (28KB)

DOWNLOAD

FASTNET

This program is supposed to speed up web surfing. I don't think
it will help much. It puts a DNS lookup on your desktop so your
browser doesn't have to find a website's DNS number. This is
not the slowest part of the process and will probably only save
a couple seconds. (1.9MB)

HOMEPAGE | | DOWNLOAD

NETSONIC

Works with your browser to cache pages. Checks to see if pages
and images have changed. If not, it will reload the image from
cache speeding your web-surfing. Of course my hardrive is so
small that I always empty the cache. So it won't help me. (811KB)

AOL PRESS

It's from AOL so naturally any idiot can use it.
That's why I tried it. Can't get a whole lot dumber
than me (though it seems great numbers of people
come close on a daily basis). The program does
tables, forms and other stuff. You don't even have to
know what HTML means to use it (what does HTML
mean?). (3.18MB)

JMK JAVASCRIPT EDITOR VER. 2.0

Author just released his Ver. 2
The title seems pretty self-explanatory so I won't
bore you with my take on it. On second

still need to learn the scripting language but this
helps ease your writing chores and helps to keep
you from making those syntax errors
that are forever plaguing me. (5.2 MB)

SUBMISSION WIZARD

This is supposed to automate submitting your web
pages to the search engines. Mine wasn't much of a
wizard though. It kept telling me I had no valid internet
connection. I wonder how I downloaded it without one?
I heard it was a wiz of a wiz if ever a wiz there was.
If ever wherever a wiz there was this wizard would be
one because, because, because, because, because....
because of the wonderful things it should do. I'm off to

JAVASCRIPT DEBUGGER

This is Netscape's preview release of their
Javascript debugger. It is a beta that TIMES-OUT.
I assume it will continue to be free on the final
release so I'm listing it here. If it is not free after
the final release, please send Netscape an E-mail
explaining what complete idiots they are. I would
think it may eventually come with the browser. This
requires Netscape communicator to be installed. Seems
to use a lot of system resources. (357KB)

W3e

An excellent HTML editor. It does the

For programmers who wish to make their
own applets and applications using Java.
Seems to be a good way to break the EVIL
EMPIRE'S stranglehold on us poor netizens.
Java makes Windows less important. Developers
don't need to write for more than one platform. Only
problem seems to be that Java runs fairly slow. As
computers get more powerful though this would
seem to become less important. Jump on the Java
bandwagon (Bill Gates won't, isn't that reason
enough?). Comes with a bunch of free applets too!!!
Some of this is DOS stuff. (8.0MB)
