Divide by Zero Fonts
Divide By Zero Fonts is a Freeware collection of over 61 original, fun-looking TrueType fonts.
Most of the fonts have a freestyle, hand-drawn look. Some of the fonts are dingbat (symbol) fonts.
The fonts I like include: Dysprosium, 7hours, Dissonant, Two Turtle Doves, Donner, Tom's Headache, Melanie, Tetanus, Ransom, Valium and all the 'Tombats'.

Swish
As a departure this week from my usual freeware applications I am presenting 'Swish'(a simple wish) because it is simply too good not to recommend on the basis of it not being free. Compared to Flash, at only $30 dollars, it may as well be!
Swish enables you quickly and easily to create Macromedia Flash animations. You are able to add audio files in .mp3 or .wav format and create impressive text animations without having to do them letter by letter. Swish can also import images in .gif, .jpg and .png format and allow you to manipulate them with effects too. Text effects include: explode, 3D spin, vortex, typewriter, wave, move, drop, rise...well you get the picture!
There is also a large userbase with their own website (swishtips.com) which is worth looking at for free downloads, forums and online help. If you can't afford Flash but want great graphics then this is the program for you!
Go look at the website by clicking the button below.

NetAnts NetAnts has to be my favourite download manager. Not only is it cute but it is also the fastest I have found. It works by creating multiple FTP or HTTP connections, each of which downloads a separate part of a single large file, combining them on completion of the job.
It will (if requested) integrate itself with browser clicks or you can drag and drop, or copy a file URL. Also, if the server supports resume, you are able to manually stop a running job at any time and resume later. The program allows you to specify several files to download, saves the job list on exit and even minimises and runs as a convenient icon in the Sys Tray.
NetAnts can be configured to automatically dial your ISP, ping servers to maintain your connection and, when finished downloading, hang up your connection and shut down your system. It also has options for job priorities, support for FTP, HTTP and SOCKS5/SOCKS5 proxies and batch downloading.
Check it out for yourself by clicking on the download button below.
Note:This product is Advert-supported Freeware.
