This program is easier to use and quicker than my older password scrambler. The encryption is just as powerful but all goes on behind the scenes. These days, most folks have many passwords and other confidential information. Remembering them all becomes a hassle and keeping them secure is not easy. Using a pen and paper is not ideal and also not an option for people with a visual impairment. This program is designed to keep your passwords and other important data totally safe, but also easy to get at. Being menu driven the program is easy to use and quick. You can create different files, such as 'gamePasswords', 'webPageLogins' or 'creditCardNumbers'.

Number of downloads: 2231The Rocky Planets Program
This program is a model of our solar system. Primarily an educational tool, it is also fun to use. It has low vision graphics, music, and audio output, including an audio description of the working model. The program has screen reader support, with auto detection of an active screen reader. The model is scientifically accurate, in that the sizes of planets, speeds of planets, and distance of orbits are all accurately scaled relative to Earth. As the 4 outer gas planets are much more distant and go slower than the 4 inner rocky planets, there is a zoom out and speed up feature. There is also an orbit tracer to track the motion of each planet. The program comes with much information about geology, atmosphere, temperatures, moons and myths and legends for each planet. The music is the planet suite by Holst. I am hoping you find this program both interesting and informative. The program comes with a self installer and full instructions are available within the program.
