April 14, Friday- 3:48 pm CST- Dow Jones Industrial down over 600 points, Nasdaq down over 300!!! New Downloads: Jotter 2000 is a multifaceted, Internet-oriented system that performs a number of tasks to make your Web life easier. Its dockable toolbar has a crawl with a news feed that you select. Choose a single item to add to the ticker, or choose several that rotate, including weather, sports, stocks, news, and more. Jotter conducts Internet searches at many major search engines and provides access to a reminder system that can be used for appointments, birthdays, and so on. It also has a special talent for filling out Internet forms, with information such as name, address, credit card number, and email address, if the form uses conventional language. (You have to surrender your confidential information to Jotter to use this feature, but the program assures you that the info will remain confidential, encrypted in your computer.) Other features include multiuser support, a variety of security options, and an online tutorial. The system is fairly easy to use and offers a nice selection of conveniences. It's free but displays advertisements in the toolbar and in dialog boxes.

SpotOn is a must-have Internet Explorer add-on for mobile users and for all those who want to organize their grab-bag of favorites into a really usable resource. This terrific freebie adds a button to your browser: click it to display the SpotOn bar where you can add bookmarks, rate each site, and create tours of related sites. SpotOn does two very smart things with your bookmarks. First, it pre-loads sites, so while you view the first page of a tour--say a selection of news and weather sites you like to check each morning--SpotOn loads the rest of the tour in the background. When you click the Next button, the next site in the tour loads almost instantly. Second, SpotOn stores your favorites on its servers. That means you can access your favorites from any computer connected to the Internet. It also means you can design public tours and share them with others via the Web.

It has a built-in phone dialer and can launch your default Web browser and email program. In addition, it inserts information about your contacts automatically; can prepare a letter template for you, with the proper addresses filled in for "snail mail" letters; and can import/export data from and to several popular formats. Other nice features include drag-and-drop support, organization of addresses into groups, system tray support, the ability to send email in bulk, and digital sound events. A "pro" version without the ads can be purchased for $25. ---Another bad day on Wall Street, both Dow Jones, and Nasdaq Composite down.

April 11, Tuesday- 3:45 pm CST-New Downloads: Proma Soft Autoresponder* is an excellent program for anyone who wants to send unattended email responses. It checks your mail account at specified intervals and can send different responses or no response depending on the filters you set. It can even delay the response for an hour or more. After a response is sent, the email address is put in a database and can be exported to an address book or list server. It can also remove the messages from the server if certain criteria are met. This makes Autoresponder a nice anti-spam program as well. All activities are logged so you can see how many responses were sent, where they went, and what messages were deleted.

April 10, Monday- 3:49 pm CST- VIRUS ALERT:W97M/Service.A infects documents and templates. It hooks the Document_Open event in order to be invoked each time a document is opened. New Downloads: Aureate Group Mail lets you quickly send mass email messages. Its simple, fill-in-the-blanks setup means you'll have it operating in just a few minutes, and its well-designed interface makes usage a snap. The program is self-contained -- it stores recipients' names in its own database and has a message editor with a spelling checker. You can set up multiple groups for mailings, with 32,000 names in each group, and even keep track of messages you've sent. Recipient information is suppressed, so your mailing list stays private. Email addresses from other sources can also be imported into the database. Other options include inline HTML support, personalized messages, data merge, and message previewing. Aureate Group Mail is an excellent choice for newsletters or any other information you want to send to a group of people. This Free Edition is sponsored by advertisements. This version has not yet been reviewed.

buddyPhone 2 is a fantastic utility that lets you place phone calls over the Internet at no additional charges. It has a slick, simple to use interface and offers high audio quality. You can use buddyPhone in conjunction with Mirabilis' ICQ, and all of your ICQ contacts will automatically appear in your call menu. ICQ is not required, however, and buddyPhone is a full-featured call management system in its own right. It can auto-answer, block calls, and much more - it can even work as an answering machine. You make calls by connecting directly to another user's IP address (buddyPhone includes an amenity that will tell you what your IP address is so other users can contact you). Alternatively, buddyPhone can use an email address, and try to resolve the user's IP from there. The program offers some nice graphical options as well; you can set to stay on top of all open windows, use different "skins" to change the look of the program, and more. If you're interested in Internet telephony, check out buddyPhone. Note: This program is supported by advertising.
