It's ideal for a person who travels and for anyone who uses more than one computer. JustMail is not an email service but rather utilizes your existing email account. This approach results in increased privacy and security compared to Web-based email services. Your personal data is never requested and your email name and password are never stored or entrusted to a third party! JustMail is a Java applet that resides on a Web page and offers a snappy application-type email interface similar to Microsoft Outlook Express(tm) and other popular email applications. There is no page refresh between messages or any of the other limitations of a clumsy HTML-based interface. JustMail displays email in a free-floating window allowing continued Web browsing while reading and sending email. JustMail is fast and responsive. Reading a series of messages is quickly done by simply selecting from an email message list or by using the up or down arrow keys. The Just Mail applet is only 29 KB in size and downloads quickly, even on relatively slow modems.

Pfeiffer. Nu Serif is a font family that brings Apple Computer's "Espy Serif" bitmap font to the printed page. Features: --Includes the Euro Symbol --You can use Nu Serif at any point size--without getting the jaggies. --The registered version includes bold, italic and bold italic--great for web browsing. --Nu Serif, with it's high x-height, is a very readable font, on-screen and on the printed page --It's a great companion font for Nu Sans. About the Nu Serif font family: Nu Serif is based on Apple Computer's "Espy Serif" bitmap font. Espy Serif is a font designed by Apple's Human Interface people for easy readability on computer screens. This bitmap font is used in the Apple Guide screens. It is a serif companion for Espy Sans. In my opinion (and in the opinion of a lot of my registered users :-), this is the most readable and legible font combination for on-screen use. Now you can use Espy Serif on your printer as well as at many different point sizes on screen. This flexibility allows you to use Nu Serif anywhere you want. And with the addition of the other three fonts: bold, italic and bold italic--available only to registered users--Nu Serif makes a perfect all around font. Studies have shown that for prolonged reading, serif fonts are much easier to read than sans serif. But up till now, most serif fonts have not been optimized for on-screen use.

Pfeiffer. Nu Serif is a font family that brings Apple Computer's "Espy Serif" bitmap font to the printed page. Features: --Includes the Euro Symbol --You can use Nu Serif at any point size--without getting the jaggies. --The registered version includes bold, italic and bold italic--great for web browsing. --Nu Serif, with it's high x-height, is a very readable font, on-screen and on the printed page --It's a great companion font for Nu Sans. About the Nu Serif font family: Nu Serif is based on Apple Computer's "Espy Serif" bitmap font. Espy Serif is a font designed by Apple's Human Interface people for easy readability on computer screens. This bitmap font is used in the Apple Guide screens. It is a serif companion for Espy Sans. In my opinion (and in the opinion of a lot of my registered users :-), this is the most readable and legible font combination for on-screen use. Now you can use Espy Serif on your printer as well as at many different point sizes on screen. This flexibility allows you to use Nu Serif anywhere you want. And with the addition of the other three fonts: bold, italic and bold italic--available only to registered users--Nu Serif makes a perfect all around font.

Clicking on a tile will uncover its contents. It could be a mine, or a number. If it's a mine, then you've blown up the mine in the minefiled (you've lost). A number tells you how many mines surround the tile you just clicked on. If it's blank, then it means that there are no surrounding mines. If you know where a mine is, then you can hold down the control, command, or option key to plant a flag. If you planted a flag in error, you can unplant the flag the same way you planted it. You win this game by uncovering all the tiles that don't have mines underneath.
