The Spam-Stopper  - retail product
http://spam-stopper.net/
The ONLY Real Solution For Stopping Spam At It's Source!

 Easy To Use 
NEVER Worry About SPAM Again ~ No Filtering Knowledge Required
 
Automatically Reject Email Worms And Viruses

Do you want to find out who has been adding your address to SPAM lists? 
Would you like to remove YOURSELF from OPT lists once and for all and never
again worry about giving people your email address?

SPAM-STOPPER GIVES YOU COMPLETE CONTROL 
Over Your Email Address! 

Why Spam-Stopper Works
Spam-Stopper will create a virtual domain that automatically receives ALL
email sent to it. Spam-Stopper then gives you the ability to stop taking
incoming email to any address of your choice! When someone asks you for your
email address, you can pull one out of your mind! Make it up on the spot!
There is no special configuration needed to give out a new email address,
because ALL incoming email for the virtual domain is secretly forwarded
directly to your default email address. Your real email address is hidden
from the sender. If you start getting SPAM at one of the addresses that you
gave out, you simply turn off that email address from our members section
web page. This will stop all future SPAM sent to that individual virtual
address. You will now also know which company or person sold your email
address. If you choose to, you can send an email letting them know that you
did not appreciate it.

At Home Astronomy
http://cse.ssl.berkeley.edu/AtHomeAstronomy/
Rockets away! Kids have been building backyard rockets since Sputnik, and
at UC Berkeley's At Home Astronomy, families are shown how and why to make
rockets, astrolabs and other fun space stuff with household items like
balloons, string and straws.

Hands-on science experiments from the Center for Science Education include
Shadow Dance, an experiment with shadows and light sources, and
instructions on how to make a simple astrolab, which kids can use to
measure altitude and the height of objects in the sky. Ten experiments
include lists of what you need, what you should know, simple illustrations
and links to other web sites to learn more.

ExtremePad
Freeware
Win95/98/ME/NT/2k/XP
http://hammer.prohosting.com/~epgames/extremepad.html

ExtremePad is a text editor with a great number of advanced
options as well as basic ones. This program also has an HTML
skeleton. This is the basic outline for HTML code, so all you
have to do is enter the appropriate information.Some of these
advanced and basic options include:
  Edit multiple files at once
  Word count by one or five words
  Word wrap
  Web-ready code
  Stays minimized
  Time and date inserts

Also, if you plan on leaving your computer, you can lock the
program.

Easy menu Access
Just about all Windows programs have some kind 
of menu appearing at the top of the screen. And 
just about every menu lists File as its first selection. 
If you look at the menus in your programs, you'll 
notice the titles have an underlined letter. This is 
typically the first letter, but not always.

This is not a programmer's design flaw. When you 
see an underlined letter in a menu title, it's an 
indication you can open that menu by merely pressing 
your keyboard's Alt key then the underlined letter, 
instead of sliding your mouse up to the menu.

Also, have a look in the menus. To the right of some 
entries, you'll see a keyboard command. For those 
who like to keep their hands on the keyboard and 
off the mouse, these keyboard shortcuts are a real 
timesaver.

however no virus scanner is 100% effective as manufactures cannot keep up with 
the rapid change of viruses that happens daily.
