Another new toy

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Not that I don’t still like Amphetadesk, but I felt the need to try something new. So I downloaded NewsDesk this morning and it works pretty well. I really like it!

Yeah I have a slow day and I go home and look for new freeware to play with, isn’t that always the way?

BTW, we didn’t get to see much of the lunar eclipse last night, the thunderstorms that rolled through town last night made it pretty obvious that we weren’t going to get much of a look at it, so we watched some of it on TV instead. 🙂

    Trillian has released Pro version 1.0.

    Has reason returned to the land of DMCA? The jury in the Elcomsoft case seems to have decided it should!
