Someone here told me about this nice little app long ago, Cunning Fox, and its a tiny really tiny little red and yellow square in the very very bottom left of your screen. One click upon it lets you know what is running and how much horsepower its using.
Its just one of those wonderful little goodies that TS has introduced me to, back when I didnt know what to use and where to get them.
And that background image kaleidoscope thing that you recommended, is another big hit with me and my classmates. Lots of amazing stuff on the Netherlands sites. Looking at a drawing one now, its endless, the great apps that are free for us to use nowadays. Its almost overwhelming if you are looking at all the apps which make the background images, whew,,,,,,,,
Just stumbled upon singlefunction.com and clicked upon their many background generators, endless, endless, fun stuff.
