Winamp apps;

Very cool visualization plug-in for winamp.

in the dark....

windoze to work... :^(

Seti at home;
So, you wanna
help hunt E.T. ? These apps will get you started
Download
the .exe for windows.
This version
runs as a screensaver. Looks pretty cool in the dark as well...:-)
If you wanna
crank out the seti units and really help the cause,
download
the text only linux version.
Put it on
that old 486 along with any decent linux distro.
Start an instance
on every console,
and let that
sucker churn 'em out! For this purpose, caldera 2.2 will work nicely.
it is a nice
easy to install distro.
I use redhat
6.2 myself, but it wants a 586 to run......
