Loginox is the simple way to customize your login screen. If your Mac is password protected, the first screen you see after starting up is the login screen. This screen contains the default image of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, which can get boring after a while. Loginox is an application which lets you easily customize your login screen.

Use Loginox to change the login back ground image with a single Drag-and-Drop. Why navigate through all the folders on your hard disk? Drag a JPG image from anywhere and drop it into the main window of Loginox. A simple click on the “set new login image” button will change the login
background image.

The image size of the default image is 2560 x 1600 and has a ratio 8/5. You can prepare your images with Sizerox (www.sizerox.com) to have the right dimension and ratio for your customized login screen.

If you want to switch back to the Leopard default login
background image click on the “Reset to default” button

The probability of a flawless demo is inversely proportional to the number of people watching, raised to the power of the amount of money involved.
Not until a program has been in production for at least six months will its most harmful error be discovered.
Undetectable errors are infinite in variety, in contrast to detectable errors, which by definition are limited.
The effort required to correct an error increases exponentially with time.
Program complexity grows until it exceeds the capabilities of the programmer who must maintain it.
Any code of your own that you haven’t looked at in months might as well have been written by someone else.
Inside every small program is a large program struggling to get out.
The sooner you start coding a program, the longer it will take.
A carelessly planned project takes three times longer to complete than expected; a carefully planned project takes only twice as long.

here’s few ways to open your word documents with out Office in your pc

A. Google Docs

If you’ve received the document by e-mail, download it, go to Google Docs and upload it. Note that you’ll need to sign-up for a Google Account first.

Simply browse to the file you want to upload and it will open automatically in Google Docs.

From there you can edit it in much the same way as you can in Word and send it by e-mail directly from your Gmail account.

B. Open Office

Download the free Open Office suite and you can open documents in Writer.

This method offers you far more editing power than Google Docs although because it requires downloading and setting-up the suite, is marginally more lengthy and complicated. However, when Open Office is installed, you’ve got yourself a fully functional Office suite that’s comparable to MS Office absolutely free!

C. Microsoft Word Viewer 2003

This is a purely viewing only software offered for free by Microsoft which enables you to open Word documents but not edit them. This is fine if all you want to do is read a document but don’t need to fill in any details, change it or basically edit it in any way.
