DOWNLOAD: AuctionSieve v1.3.3 Browsing eBay is a long, daunting task because there are so gosh darned many auctions at any given time. AuctionSieve is your spaghetti strainer to eBay as it filters the watery mess and leaves the good stuff. The Java-based program allows you to add keywords, trash words (words you do NOT want in the results), search title and description, and search categories. It uses catch word weighting to take your search a little further. If you're looking for Mario Bros. Video games for the Gameboy, add "Mario bros game" to the keywords and add "playstation gamecube and xbox" to the trash words. The reason I didn't include Gameboy is that some people make it two words. Nintendo is also left off since they have many products. Those not in the USA can change it to their country's eBay Web site. FYI - if clicking on the View doesn't bring up a page, you have something in your browser blocking ads. It's not an issue with the program.
DOWNLOAD: LinCity v1.12.0 Can you guess what game this copies? Sin City is Las Vegas, not a game. You got it, it's Sim City renamed as LinCity because it works with Linux as well as Windows and other operating systems. It has its share of copies and fans should like this one or those who've never tried it can give it a shot at no cost. If you don't like it, no money lost. Think you can do a better job than your city's mayor in building and maintaining the city? That means feeding, housing, providing jobs and goods, and sustaining the economy. Go forth and conquer.
DOWNLOAD: Icon Restore I always knew when tech support messed with my computer. The desktop icons would be out of place. Being the neat freak I am, I notice the slightest things. It's a curse because with three kids, the house gets messy and it makes me crazy. Too bad I can't click House Restore like Icon Restore to get everything back in place! Right-click on a system icon (Recycle Bin, My Computer, Network Places, etc.) and select Save Desktop Icon Layout. According to the site, WinXP users may have to click on Recycle Bin to make it work, but I was able to get it to work on all system icons. I moved a few icons around and then right-clicked on Recycle Bin > Restore Desktop Icon Layout, and everyone marched back to their regular spot. Thank you, icons! Now, if only the kids were as cooperative.
