Weekly Download: 3DMark
I admit I am a video game junky, and I’ve been playing them since I was a kid. I’ll never forget playing defender on my neighbor’s Atari 2600—I caught the sickness then, and I never quite got over it (how pathetic). New PC games are very high-tech and super realistic.

Weekly Download: Cryptainer LE
I have something today I think the 95,98, and ME users will really appreciate—a file with encryption. The reason I mentioned the older Operating Systems is because the NT filing system in Win 2K and XP has its own encryption built in. I always thought that the older 9x OSs and ME got the shaft when it comes to file security and I have been looking… Continue reading
