I don't plan on having very many files available for download, but the ones I will have available, will be placed here. Every file here has been scanned by Norton Anti-virus, and while I believe them to be totally virus free, I make no guarantee. If you're paranoid, don't download anything from here!
A casual newsletter that goes out 1-5 times per month. It contains excerpts and articles from all the newsletters I read condensed down to a manageable size. Plus info about PuterGeek.Com, as well as various tips and tricks I've learned.One of InfoJump's Top Five rated Computer Publications (so far this year)!
This list is told when I'm going to be home (so they can call me for help). I send out info that doesn't make it into the newsletter, as well as geek stuff that is of more interest to the power-user. This list is very casual. The format is like a regular email and is sent out very randomly. It might be multiple times per day or once in 3 weeks...in other words, there is no schedule at all. The ONLY way to get on this list is to become a PuterGeek.Com Sponsor.
This list gets email from both Amy and Peter Crockett. It will only be maintained until we get off the road. This list is ultra casual. It might be only 2 sentences or three paragraphs in length. You might get four emails in a day or nothing for a week. On this list we talk about our daily life on the road as truck drivers, problems, wonderful sights, frustrations, and basically whatever we want to say. There can be mild profanity, so this list is NOT for kids!
These lists are 100% OPT-in! The lists are completely separate, and the emails are never sold, traded, or given out to ANYONE! You can unsubscribe at any time. Just click on the link to get more info on each list.
Here is a MS-DOS 6.22 boot disk image with a generic CD-ROM driver. This should provide real mode CD-ROM support for most IDE CD-ROMs.
This image can be used when formatting and re-installing MS-DOS 6.22, Win95, and Win95A. Need more info about the different versions of Windows 95? Click here .
NOTE: This image only provides FAT16 support. If you want FAT32 support get the Win95B bootdisk image. Need more info on FAT16 and FAT32? Click here .
To use this image simply click here to download it, then just double-click it and follow the instructions. It will ask you to put a new floppy disk into your floppy drive, then it will format the disk, and copy the bootdisk image to it.
When done, I suggest that you immediately test your new bootdisk to make sure it works properly and can read a CD.

Here is the new "TweakUI" From Microsoft! It is for WinNT, Win2K, WinME, Win98 (any version), and Win95 (any version). Here's what Microsoft has to say on the down load page:
Read Me First
With the Tweak UI 1.33 update, you can adjust your Windows User Interface, including menu speed, window animation, and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Microsoft® Windows® Shell Development Team has put together a set of productivity tools called PowerToys. If you're a Windows power-user, go ahead and try them out, but realize these are unsupported tools. Microsoft Technical Support is unable to answer questions about PowerToys.
System Requirements
Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 98 or Windows 95.
Tweak UI 1.33
If you don't know what TweakUI is or haven't used it before, please be aware that this is a geek tool! If you use it, you may have problems (I don't, but I'm a geek).

Have you heard of Felix? You know, the cat that people send via email? Felix is a small program that creates a cat that wanders around on your 'puter screen. It's a clean APP (just one file), The first time you double-click on it, it installs itself in c:\program files\ScreenMates. If you want it to run on startup, simply right-click on Felix and choose "run on startup" If you ever want to get rid of Felix all you have to do is delete (make sure to uncheck "run on startup first") the folder you made.
On my 'puter Felix uses about 2% of CPU resources, and about 300K of memory. It has not caused any problems with any other software I have. Nor any conflicts with any running programs. When you're working Felix stays out of your way too. This is a cute, safe, and fun little free program.
Here's the website that makes Felix. http://www.adtoolsinc.com/products/screenmates_frame.htm They have some other ones as well.

Since I've gotten many requests, I've decided to make my Home Networking Part Two webpage available for easy download. Of course, if you have a current version of Internet Explorer you can do the same simply by choosing File | Save As. Please do not put this on another website! You may freely give this PDF file to anyone who would like it. NOTE: You may need to right-click on the icon and choose Save target as to download it instead of viewing it in your web browser. Need the Adobe Acrobat reader?
