If you are a power user who is continually multitasking or opening and
closing programs, then you will sometimes have crashes due to the fact that
those programs are not returning all the resources back to the stack upon
closing. This dwindling stack of resources will eventually cause a crash
to occur. This can be prevented by continuously monitoring the resources and
then rebooting when they get too low.
AntiCrash 2K (731kb) is a FREE Windows utility that runs as a TSR and
ensures that when a program is terminated that the resources it uses are
automatically returned. I have installed this software on my Windows 98
system and it works exceptionally well. I ran several programs at once and
intentionally got the resource stack down to 6% (not recommended!) and then closed all the
programs. I actually gained 1% on my default stack. I then went through a
16 hour straight day of computing (my computer is a muti-user machine) with
out rebooting. At the end of the day I had lost only 2% of my default stack.
This one is definitely a keeper!

InfoRapid Search & Replace. This was sent to me by Jack and is a powerful
text search and retrieval program. The search results are viewed in a page
that lists the files and also shows a short contextual line for each
instance of the text string it finds in those files. It also has a built in
converter for HTM and RTM files so that you can view those files as a text
documents. It has many other useful features. Another addition to my
toolbox!

K-mart and Yahoo have partnered up provide a free ad supported ISP dial-up
connection. If you don't have a free ISP to back up your regular pay for
ISP, then it is a good idea to have one in case of outages or to check if
you think you are having connection speed problems with your regular ISP.

e-BIZ Free Ride is a 90 day free on-line store. If you are just testing out
the e-commerce waters, then this is a good way to do it risk free. Of
course they are gambling that you will like their service so much that you
will want to upgade at the end of the 90 days to their $89 a year service.
So you try it before you buy it and while you use it, you are learning from
it.
