| Review: The GUI Next Door: Blackbox for Windows by Mattias Westlund
|    In the first of a regular series of shell reviews, West takes
|    a look at BlackBox. I have to admit I find one thing puzzling
|    about West's review: What do Catherine Bell's breasts have to
|    do with minimalism? Quite a bit apparently! "BlackBox has more
|    eye candy than you might expect from a minimalist shell, and
|    it has a sleek hi-tech look that I at least find appealing"?
|    Erm.. riight. ;) Read and Enjoy - I did!

| Review: *box Shells, BB4Win, and bbLean by Miguel Garza
|    Looper checks in with a most informative article on *box
|    shells, particularly BB4Win and bbLean. For a great overview
|    of *box shells and their features, look no further. (All
|    right, all right, you got me, you WILL have to look one page
|    further in order to READ it.)

| Tutorial: Hacking The Look by Rev. Edward Karn
|    Reverend Karn aka ZenLogic aka Reverend Karn (because I don't
|    know which is the handle here) presents us with an updated
|    version of an article he originally wrote for 2600.com (May
|    the hair on their toes never fall out). This article has it
|    all: modifying a dll with a hex editor, screenshots, lots n
|    lots o' Res-Hacker, a touching moment of DBZ or two, and pomes
|    fer cryin out loud. Go read it already!

| Review: iShell Installer 2.1 by Joshua Blocher
|    Verbalshadow provides a quick writeup of a relative newcomer
|    to the shell scene, Allelimo's and Ironhead's iShell. Looks
|    like the iShell folks are going for a minimalist look with
|    extensive functionality. Check it out.

| Interview: Bladestaylor (*box plugin dev) by Miguel Garza
|    Looper Rides Again with his interview of Bladestaylor, dev of
|    SystemBarEx, a simple but efficient BB toolbar plugin.
|    Sporting the longest answer to the longest question in
|    Shell-Shocked history, this article provides an interesting
|    look at the thoughtfulness that has gone into the SystemBarEx
|    design. Dip in!

| Review: PureLS 0.40 by Christian Noer
|    TucknDar offers an article on the motivation and style of
|    PureLS, offshoot shell of LiteStep. More to whet the appetite
|    than give a full accounting, this little nugget will probably
|    provide the hook to get others to give PureLS a shot. Read and
|    get whet!

| Article: Why the Apple Dock Still Sucks by Bruce Tognazzini
|    Apparently ONE article by The Tog in the last issue wasn't
|    enough for you! And APPARENTLY you people had the temerity to
|    criticize Tog's lofty dismissals as "no longer valid"! Hoo
|    boy! You thought you had the last word! Boy were you wrong!
|    Tog is back with an update of his previous evaluation. Now
|    READ the last word! (At least, the last word until further
|    notice.)

| Article: Securing your Computer by Jim Maurer
|    Notwithstanding Bill G's born-again commitment to his OS'
|    security, there have been more Windows worm and virus exploits
|    in the last year than any before. But even on a Windows box,
|    it's possible to attain reasonably good security with some
|    basic steps, without spending a mint. Even if you're already
|    familiar with basic security (a likelihood in our lot), check
|    out Jim's article for additional options.
