If you've been riding the Bus for a while, you may remember my post from last March titled "Finding Internet Software, in which I reviewed the CWSAPPS and TUCOWS sites. Basically these sites provide categorized listings of Internet software, with reviews and links to the download sites. But FILEDUDES is really worth a look because: 1) The site is fast-loading and quick to navigate 2) They offer Macintosh listings in addition to Win95 and Win3.1 3) It's got personality - the "dudes" graphics are entertaining When you arrive at the FILEDUDES website, located at http://www.filedudes.com you can search for a specific keyword, view recent additions to the site in the "What's New" section, check out the "Random Pick of the Day", or jump right to the category list for Windows 95, Windows 3.1 or Macintosh. If you're visiting for the first time and you don't have something specific in mind, just click on the entry for your computer's operating system and you'll be find a grid listing categories such as: Anti-Spam, Anti-Virus, Audio Apps, Audio/Video Chat, Bookmark Utils, Censorship, Compression, Cookie Utils, Dialers, E-Mail Readers, Entertainment, FTP Programs, HTML Editors, IRC, Image Viewers, Log Analyzers, Movie Viewers, Network Sharing, News Readers, Offline Apps, Screen Capturing, Security Apps, Stock Quotes, Telnet, Web Browsers, Web Search Bots, and Web Servers Now don't worry if some or even most of those don't make any sense to you. Only a true cybergeek would find them all useful. But you might come away with some useful tools if you browse around a bit. For example, under the Stock Quotes heading, you can find a program called the Quote Ticker Bar, which will bring stock prices from Wall Street right to your desktop. Or if you're into sound, the Audio Apps category has a bunch of apps to play or edit sound files. The Web Browser section lists alternatives to the ubiquitous Netscape/IE duo, and under Dialers you can pick up a replacement for the lame Internet dialer that comes with Win95. The reviews are crisp and concise, and most programs are rated with one to five stars. Particularly nice is the feature that allows you to view listings in a category and quickly jump to the corresponding items for the other operating systems. Pay a visit to FILEDUDES, and grab some cool new Internet software to make your surfing more fun! *----------------------------[ TAP INTO THE WEB WITH JUNO! ]---------* JUNO: FREE E-MAIL AND MORE! is a must-have book that reveals the secrets of using Juno to the max.
