. OH DEAR!!! so you have bought a PC windows media player


               A former PC World customer reflecting on his purchase

some people will never learn

Hi there fellow PC users, what a rubbish bloated system this windows 98 is, it really wants trashing and starting from the ground up. Still until that happens we are stuck with a kludge up of a shell stuck on top of an ancient computer system, if a car were built like this it would never reach the showroom. If you live in the UK, I would advise against any major purchases from PC world, after spending thousands of pounds with them the aftersales service has been appalling and even got to the stage of threats to take them to the small claims courts.

KARAOKE.ZIPMark Fevers very nice Karaoke / midi file player.( NOT 32BIT COLOUR )

AUTOACT.ZIP Automate a lot of the time consuming clicking within programs

UUDWIN.ZIPDecodes some UUe attachments that OE4/5 won't

ICONLOCK I use just a laptop and plug it into a 19" monitor when at home, this lets me save and recall different icon layouts for different screen rez's. It will also let you lock icons and other features so if your computer is used by others it can't be messed up

Another good source for midi Karaoke is the newsgroup alt.binaries.karaoke
