To help with the day to day stuff

Here you will find all the really cool stuff that we come across out on the web or write ourselves to help out friends and family (Since they were written with love, we can't charge for them).

Browse back here often because we will be adding to this page regularily. You can also bookmark (or add to favorites) this page with Ctrl-D.

Help files or tutorials

Computer 101 Help File

It's a basic guide directed at those just getting started with computers. Do your friend/parent/co-worker/brother/sister or favorite Aunt a favor. Download this file and give them a copy. Burn it, zip it, send it to floppy or email it, just get them a copy!

Grabber 2K Screen Capture Tool.
