Penguins

This is a cool program.  When you run it, little penguins fall from the top of your desktop and then they walk on any windows you have open.  When they get to the edge, they fall off.  Depending on what settings you set,  you can have 1 or a whole bunch walking around.  You can change the distance it takes before they go splat when they fall.  When they do go splat, more come flying down from the sky.

It's just really cool.  Here is a screen shot from my laptop The program is called winPenguins  (of course), and it's open source software.  That means it totally free  If you are interested in Open source information, Go to sourceforge.net

I've put up the zipped file, so you will need to unpack it.  Windows XP can do that or you can get a free unzip program called Izarc.  Un zip the program and put it where ever you want.  Open the folder and run the file called penguins.exe. A small penguin will be sitting in the system tray (by the clock).  Right click on it to change the settings or exit the program.
