It has been a while since I have done a post about useful programs on my computer, but I have recently come across a fantastic inline spell checker for Internet Explorer. IE9 is really good and I have been using it all the time.

Dont want to read and want to go straight to the download click here or here or here. The download contains the theme, instructions to install, Apollos wallpaper and my Elite themed Rocket Dock icons. ——————————————————————- I am Proud to present Version 2 of my Xbox 360 Vista Theme.

Continuing the posts on useful programs that i use on my computer leads me to 360 desktop. Short on desktop space? Got a small screen and it seems like you cant really fit much on your desktop? Then this might be the program for you. 360 desktop lets you spin around panoramic images with your mouse by moving to the sides of the screen giving you lots more desktop space. Images don’t really do the program justice so it might be worth watching this video.
