PC Fun Club: Garfields Typing Pal

Advantages: fun and easy
Disadvantages: too many to choose from

...without the need for multiple searches. Well worth a try. Above all comet cursors are fun to use, wacky and a little different, some are quite large , but vary on the chosen item. It can take a while to hit the magic spot so to speak with say Garfield on the end of your mouse, but practise makes perfect and you will get the hang of it in no time. Another fun touch is that should you have your own website then you can add comet cursors to that, this means anyone visiting your site will, automatically be given your choice whilst they surf around it, this is particularly useful for themed sites such as Beanies or fan sites, not only does it enhance your site but your visitors will love it Comet cursors are fun and worth a try if your bored.

...When I was at school Mavis Beacon was installed onto the computers and we used to have a lot of fun using the software. From then on I had to get Mavis Beacon, not for myself but for my Mum.

Disadvantages: The thief of time

...is fun although nothing earth shattering. Furthermore you can use the service to swap files with your chat partner. You just have to select to send a file to them, and the downloading starts once your partner has accepted the transfer. I am not aware of the maximum file size for transfer but would be surprised if it were more than about a megabyte at most, the same size as the maximum attachment size on hotmail. Of course you can choose to block contacts if they annoy you, or if you no longer wish to hear from them, which is slightly more radical than just removing them. The software is simple, and although there were teething troubles on occasions when upgrading to the newest version – computer freezing on occasions, generally my experience with MSN Messenger was a very good one. I did have a couple of weirdoes who used to annoy me, but I... Read review
