Cheryl Poirier, AKA Miss Download, finds a way to make her webcam chats more interesting. WebcamMax software lets you change up your webcam video with neat effects, adornments like hats, glasses, wigs and so on. In the free version, Miss D whets her appetite for silly webcam effects; by dropping $50 on the full version of the software, she'll unlock literally thousands of new effects and add ons.

With PCsync and a special USB cable, you can easily connect two PCs, a PC and a laptop, a Mac and a PC or any combination thereof to transfer files. Simply link the two computers and then drag and drop files from one to the other. Miss Download likes it when things just work.

If you're looking for a simple way to share your photos with friends and family and a new way to display your photos, look no further than Flash Slideshow Creator. Drop your photos into the program and you can output fantastic slideshows as a Flash file which means just about anyone that you send it to can view it without having to download anything. You can also post it to your own site easily.

If you're stuck with an ailing PC not fit to write a spreadsheet much less play the latest games, meet GameGain. It won't take your office-configured desktop from weak to elite, but if you've got a gaming system already, this software is designed to eke out every bit of performance from the hardware possible. It could mean the difference between playing your new game in 640x480 or in all its full-screen glory.

If you're anything like us, you have at least three or four handles across the different instant messaging (IM) servies. Google Talk, MSN, AIM, Facebook Chat, Jabber, etc., etc.. Trillian lets you keep all these IMs and more organized and in one place. No more firing up multiple messengers in order to track down that elusive IM contact.

If you've ever lost your little black book, misplaced your hand-written address book or otherwise been without a way to contact all the people that are important to you, take heed. Cheryl discovers Telist Pro, a simple way to manage all your contacts on your Windows PC. It's easier than hand writing, can be easily backed up and will remind you of birthdays, anniversaries and other pertinent data that relates to your contact list.

If you've ever wanted to

become a spammer

or, alternately (and preferably)

send legitimate mass emails

to people that have requested them, you need to meet SendBlaster Pro. With this handy download you can administer a mailing list and

easily send mass emails

. To people who have OPTED IN. Got that? Opted in; that's important.

Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow? Cheryl finds a new way to procrastinate while still feeling a sense of accomplishment. BrainsBreaker (don't let the name turn you off) is a digital take on the classic jigsaw puzzle. You can create your own custom puzzle from an image on your computer in the full version or use one of the pre-loaded puzzles in the trial version.

Tired of trolling the web for health related information, Miss Download went on the hunt for a tool that would drop the info right into her lap. She found it in iVillage Health Toolbar. This handy toolbar brings a ton of health related information right to the top of your browser. It does much more than just bring health info to the forefront.

If you're creating your own comic book, making a typographic logo for your business or if you simply have a Geocities-era Web page, meet Font Magic. This

free Windows software

goes way beyond simple typography to let you

create 3D fonts

and titles all your own.
