TK ChildLock!
By Timo Kosiol - Softwareconsulting
With ChildLock! you can limit an user''s log on or log off times. Define when users can log on to your PC. If a specified user is already logged on your system on a non-logon-time, it is possible to log him off automatically. I.e. parents can control their children, so that they cannot be logged on to the computer after 7 p.m. So the parents can be sure their children don''t surf on the internet at night. If the children are already logged on at 7 p.m., after a specified countdown an automatically log off and computer shut down is possible. ChildLock is the perfect program to restrict and limit an user''s log on and log off behavior.

As Simple As Photoshop
By Andrei Doubrovski
This course offers you an original method of a quick but total immersion into the Photoshop environment. Perhaps you have heard some people saying that this program is very complex. This is partially true; learning all of Photoshop may take you years. The ASAP (stands for As Simple As Photoshop) offers you a faster way. It tells only the things you have to know at the moment, skipping the details, as you have lots of time to learn those when (and if) you need them. Another speed-up secret is illustrations. The course is packed with 224 movie clips (total running time: 6 hours). So, you needn''t choose between a Photoshop book and a Photoshop video any more. ASAP is more than just a book and smarter than just a video. It takes you by the hand and shows you around Photoshop, allowing you to combine all the possible learning methods. Just read it, watch it, listen to it and follow it. The tutorials are fully compatible with the 6th, 7th, 8th (CS) and 9th (CS2) versions of Photoshop.
