Jigsaw v5.4 ~ Demo http://www.yavsoft.com/alive/jigsaw.html Ever desired to have a fun with animated jigsaw puzzles instead of static ones? This colorful game gives you such opportunity. You will even be able to take any AVI movie or short film clip and turn it into an impressively looking jigsaw with this powerful jigsaw player/creator. This feature can be turned off, if you prefer a more classical approach. The game introduces a new challenge for jigsaw fans but also has options that make it suitable for kids and those who prefer less challenge and animated images add absolutely new feeling to the old family fun. ++ ____________________________________________________________ DIY Webmaster Resources http://www.diywebmasterresources.com/ "Site devoted to providing webmasters with the resources they need to design, promote, and make money from their websites." ____________________________________________________________ CD Cover Search http://www.cover-search.com/ "CD Cover Search, The cd covers search engine for audio, dreamcast, dvd, pc, psx, psx2 and vcd." ____________________________________________________________ On Time http://www.shaneware.8m.com/Default.htm Freeware This tool works with your system clock in an attempt to bring you a selective startup method of your very own.

That isn't right!" For instance, in the movie Grease, watch the beginning of the "Beauty School Dropout" scene and keep your eyes on the waitress as she leaves the room. Although she clearly misses hitting the light switch with her elbow, the lights go out anyway! Visit The Slip-Up Archive to look up your favorite movie or television show and read about more errors, or submit one that you've noticed to the database. Be forewarned, however: the regular readers of this site are a tough crowd. If your slip-up isn't a true blooper, they won't hesitate to challenge it! ~~~~~~~ Multable Mailtos Now that you have discovered how to make individual address Mailtos we don't want to clutter up the desktop or startmenu with them all.
