What on earth, I hear you say, has Catnip got for us this time?? This my friend, is a Virtual Friend, a rather amazing little program that puts you in control of a 3D animated talking little being, in this case an alien! You can morph it into 4 different heads, this cat one, a monkey, a baby, a weird pointy-headed guy with a scary voice and the basic "grey" type alien, round headed, all with big blue eyes. They can say whatever you type in the box, or you can pre-type whole texts for them to say back to you, the darn thing even sings! The one pictured is the first release, Roswell 1.0 but a new version is out now from Haptek if you want to try out both! Utterly amazing stuff, as ever! Win95 only. Shareware.

So, I'm a little behind the times but I just discovered the fabulous Lara Croft, star of the equally stunning Tomb Raider games. And while browsing around for Lara stuff, I came across this neat little trick, to replace those boring old icons in the Win95 Start menu with the lovely Lara herself. Rather cool, in a sad sort of way. The idea is a simple one, and no doubt with a little effort you could make your own icon picture if Lara isn't your thing... The tiny file makes changes to your Registry, but is easy to use, and can be changed back just as easily! Full instructions are given with the file, and you can choose from several images. Go on, improve your desktop today! Freeware.
