Flock 1.0

http://www.flock.com/

Over the past year, a number of enterprising companies have released a spate of browsers that are increasingly focused on performing very specific functions. Flock 1.0 is one of these browsers, and it is meant to be the premiere "social" browser. To whit, it integrates a number of features (such as integrated photo-sharing and instant messaging) into its design. Visitors can also interact with social networking sites via Flock, and as such, users can access new information about friends and others seamlessly via RSS feeds and other such information conduits. This version is compatible with computers running Windows 2000, XP, and Vista. [KMG]



Aquallegro 4.7

http://andyvn.ath.cx/?sect=tech&cat=soft&topic=aqu

Perhaps you'd like to brush up on your aural skills? Maybe you need a refresher on other things musical? Aquallegro 4.7 is a rather lovely and user-friendly way to do just that, and users can also use the application to learn more about music theory. Educators may also wish to recommend this program to their students who cannot wait for their next in-person music class session or lesson. This version is compatible with computers running Mac OS X 10.4 and newer. [KMG]
