Back Web (2.17 mg) (3-19-97) (filename bw9512b.exe)
Back Web is a Push Service that allows you to select Sites from which you want to receive news, notices, or downloads. The most useful thing I have found about Back Web is that McAfee is one of the Companies using it. This means I can receive McAfee's monthly virus updates automatically via their Back Web connection.

This allows you to set up a Web Server on your PC. (For whatever reason you might have to want one) One might be that it will allow a person to test CGI scripts on a PC running Windows 95 and will execute them as though they were on a Web Server.

PointCast News (4.40 meg) (2/25/99) (filename PointCast26.exe)

This is one of the most amazing programs I've run across. It allows you to select numerous options about the kind of news and information you would like to read. (much similar to setting up your personal page with msn.com or netscape.com) Then you can log onto the Internet and it will collect all the things you have chosen and log off so you can read them off-line. As if that weren't enough, it turns itself into a screen saver and selects on a rotation basis the news or informational pieces that have been stored in the file and uses them as the elements of the screen saver. The screen savers aren't static though. If you happen to see something pop-up on the screen that you would like to read in full, all you have to do is click on it and that story or article comes on the screen. It also has areas which have URL's in them and if you click on one of them it will fire up your browser and take you to that site. As for the information that is available, there seems to be no limit. Business, Sports, Finance, Weather, Entertainment, Magazines, Travel, you name it, it is there.

Net Attache´ (772kb) (filename na32b19)

Net Attache´ can be set to check on a list of different Web Sites and return to you only the ones that have changed since your last visit.

Tardis (39kb) (7-18-96) (filename tardis95.zip)

This is a little program that connects to your choice of one of several world time keeping stations and will re-set your computer's clock to match the time of the world clock you've chosen. (pretty neat actually)
