Oh man. Cheesy title. I know, I know. But as the festive season fast
approaches and you're probably starting to think about all the
Christmas pimping, I mean primping, you’ll do to your home – putting up
lights, candles, the tree, the stockings and all that jazz – don’t
forget to primp your computer out with some holiday cheer!
First
off is that screen saver. Starfield simulation or the flying window is
so mid-year. This year the most popular Christmas screen saver ever is
available in 3D! Originally launched in 2000, Santa’s Workshop features
elves assembling gifts and writing in cards, a train moving around the
workshop and more. And now that it’s in 3D your festive computer will
be even cooler with a 3D elf stopping to warm his wee hands by the
fire. Although it's steaming hot outside, it almost makes you feel like it’s snowing just thinking of
it!
To get Santa’s Workshop 3D simply visit www.freeze.com. The kiddies are sure to love it too!
But the screen saver is just the icing on the cake. If you’re really serious about the holiday cheer, check out PC Magazine’s
Christmas Desktop theme.
With
this festive wonder your cursor turns into a Christmas bulb and your
desktop is a wonderful snowy scene. Even the title bars in your
programs get primped, turning red and the background of your documents
glowing light green. I mean who can pass up a Recycle Bin that turns
into Santa and your “My Computer” icon turning into a funky
sunglass-clad Santa? Too funny.
Finally, if you’re a bit
more practical at this time of year, take the time to read what it
would really take to be Santa, including making more than 800 visits to
homes per second throughout Christmas night, after surviving G-Forces
around 17,000 times that of Gravity!
All
of us at Internetrix hope this helps to get everyone into the festive
spirit. We’ve begun the countdown and it’s less than a month away!
