Nothing on TV this weekend? One of the iconic series from the 90s is now available online. Definitely X-rated, Robbie Coltrane stars in the award winning show "Cracker". Here is the URL http://www.itv.com/BestofITV/crime/Cracker.html A great series but not for the squeamish! Eddie Subscribe to Computers are fun by Email

Small things can often have a big impact and our lives are never the same again. There is a short video on the Mastery TV Homepage which, if you care to ponder its message, can hardly fail to have a profound affect on you. Why not take a few undisturbed minutes and have a look at the remarkable story of "Team Hoyt"? Here is the link..... www.masterytv.com Eddie Subscribe to Computers are fun by Email

Widgets are great little programs which can make your computer much more fun to use. When I help people who are moving from dial-up to Broadband, I love to show them the new world of streaming audio and video which has opened up for them. In the UK some of the best content comes from the BBC and we can listen to BBC radio while we work. Accessing the stations can be a bit of a pain though......unless you have a widget! For this to work you will need real player and windows media player already installed because the widget uses both of those programs. Unless you have already done so, you also need to install the Yahoo widget engine which you can download here http://widgets.yahoo.com Then you can get BBC Radio Player Plus here http://tinyurl.com/2vlrez Now you have easy access to a whole new audio world. If you are new to widgets it is well worth taking time to explore what else is available. [NB The BBC widget only works in the UK but there are many others suitable for readers in othe

It was only a short time ago that you couldn't sign up to Joost without an invitation. In case you don't know, Joost is at the leading edge of providing Internet TV. How would you like films on demand with no monthly subscription? Paramount films is just one of the channels available. You will need a decent Broadband connection and the interface needs a bit of getting used to, but it is an excellent service. (Still in Beta though, so expect a few glitches). Well worth having on your computer when there is nothing much on regular TV, this is definitely a "five star" download. www.joost.com Eddie PS You will have to register but it is relatively painless.
