Links for Sunday October 20, 2002

If anyone would like to download a US Flag for their email or web site here are a few I found.
To download any Flag just right click on it and click on Save Picture as:

It's often difficult to find sites that provide technical information for children. One that we recently happened across provides information on a children's level about computers, programming, the Internet, video games, and much more.

Would you like to locate all the links in any given web page? If you use Opera 6, all you have to do is press Ctrl + J. This opens the "Links in frame" dialog box. In the dialog box you'll see a list of all the links in the selected frame.

Using the "Links in frame" dialog box, you can sort the URLs, list the full address, or click Open to visit the selected link.

Siren is an interesting and very effective freeware file renamer. Siren runs in all versions of Windows from Windows 98 to Windows XP. Neither we nor the program's author have tested it in Windows 95.
