PeopleCards.net :::: The Official People Trading Card
http://www.peoplecards.net/
The World's First Celebrity-Free Trading Card

PeopleCards are a new line of hilarious collectible trading cards that 
feature real people from across the globe in all their glory. 
These cards are not some made-up form of "reality entertainment" 
these guys are real...in someways, people may not even share this 
much about themselves with close friends. We asked everyone a 
whole bunch of funny, odd, and plain old cool questions about their 
lives, likes and experiences.

Tina's FrontPage Tips, by Tina Clarke

Specify fonts

To specify ideal viewing fonts, view the page in HTML.
Select the text you want to view and choose the font (such
as Arial) then position the cursor to the right of the font
name that has just appeared. You add extra fonts simply by
typing them in, separated by a comma. Or you can select the
text you wish to add extra font=92s too, then right click
choose Font and insert the extra fonts inserting a comma
between each, press ok.

A Simple Diary
http://www.webbedfeetuk.com/diary/
Windows '95, '98, '98 SE, ME, 2000, NT & XP.
Freeware

A Simple Diary is more then the name implies.
It is small but powerful. It has interesting features and
options.  A Simple Diary has an easy-to-navigate month-to-month
calendar. There is also has a to-do list and personal message
alarm. You specify the number of times it sounds. A clean up
function can delete all entries before the current date.  This is
a great way to keep an electronic diary.

Antivirus software is a good choice to scan your system for possible 
viruses, however no virus scanner is 100% effective as manufactures
cannot keep up with the rapid change of viruses that happens daily.
Be sure to update yours regularly.
