I received an email from GaryC, notifying me of a lawsuit against PCHelp.

PCHelp's work on Lockdown 2000 is famous. Judge for yourself on his website: www.pc-help.org

After my own bad experience with the program, his site gave me valuable insight.

Let me stress that AFTER is the important word in the last sentence. You'll understand after you read the whole thing here: http://www.accs-net.com/help

Gary's original email is here.

grc.com has opened up a newsserver for those who want to keep updated. Look here: news://news.grc.com/ten-forward.pchelp

Nov. 1

I've added two programs, both currently under beta-testing.

RunScr is a small utility that allows running screensavers not as screensavers, but as "normal" programs. You can set priority, too. RunScr is available as sourcecode.

PPA (Personal Playful Assistant) was a plaything for me. It combines a personal calendar with timer-function (for anniversaries, too), a tea-timer, and a make-this-window-invisible feature to de-clutter the taskbar.



I'm German, but English is the common language of the net. I'll do my best not to embarrass you, but my English is in dire need of a bucket full of polish. Please feel free to correct any error (email-rules don't apply, I'll even honour you on an errata-page).

Name: Lissi

Address: is of no concern

Telephone: rather use email.

Email: lissi at dusnet dot de

If you mail me you consent to the following:
1. You permit quoting your mail in part or in full, as seems fit to me. I shall change the name if you want me to, but your true name will be used if rule 2 or 3 apply.
2. If I feel spammend or harrassed, I'll inform your ISP and you are fully aware of the fact that I might feel like LARTing you. [LART = L(user) A(ttitude) R(e-adjustment) T(ool) = everything that annoys you]
3. If your mails content is against German law or your country's law as I perceive it (I don't know much of other countries laws), I shall inform the proper authorities (your and! mine). This is especially the case if you spam me, as this is a no-no in Germany.

Interests: look left for some of them

Photograph: better guess (hint: I'm female)
