PC lock down / timer?

Hey all,

I'm looking for something to lock down a machine, kind of like a parental thing, during certain times of the day and week.

Anything out there anyone recommends? Free or cheap?

Thanks in advance.

Good job, I like! Agreed with DCrazy on some of the quality stuff. My suggestion would be to introduce multiple vocals to give it some more depth. Not sure if I'm using the right wording, so for example - the way many of Sting's songs have various vocal renditions tied together, etc. More like the p...

Can anyone recommend some software I can use to capture a movie for D2-DOS or 3DFX? I tried FRAPS but guess it won't work with anything non-DX/GL.

Also can anyone confirm the turn rate I'm seeing?
The pitch (look up/down) for me in D2-DOS and 3DFX takes about 8-9 seconds.

Thanks!

At what point in your life did you decide you wanted to be a web developer ? What is it that you wanted to become?
