+++NEWS+++

I have been asked about adding some sort of 
rating system for the software listed on 
TinyApps. Well, there already is a rating 
system! Yep! And here it is in a nutshell: if 
an app is listed, it rocks. A few undeserving 
apps may fall through the cracks - please let 
me know if you spot any.

+++OPTIMIZING WINDOWS+++

I ran across a very cool book recently:

Optimizing Windows for Games, Graphics and Multimedia
http://thesiliconunderground.editthispage.com/stories/storyReader$127

Wait! I know many of you are thinking, "Well, 
I'm not a gamer." Trust me, this book is 
crucial reading for *any* Windows user, 
especially those with older hardware. It 
explains how to turn Windows 9x into a fast, 
stable OS.

You can check out Chapters 2 and 10 free online:
http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/win2000/first.asp
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/win9x/chapter/ch10.html

It's by David Farquhar and published by 
O'Reilly, so it's got that really cool binding 
that allows you to lay the book flat open to 
any page.

Last published in 2000, the book is now out of 
print. Some online stores (Amazon among them) 
apparently still have it in stock, and there 
are plenty of used copies as well.
