Smiley Toolkit (Nov 13 2003 15:59 GMT) - When I was at Hotline, I had an idea for a smiley generator. Hotline the program supported chat rooms, so I wanted to make a graphical smiley editor in which you'd have a bunch of slider controls with which you could make a smiley exactly expressing your mood.

The user could also have quick control-key access to smileys in the palette, (e. |

This switch is not the polar opposite it may sound like; New Age is all about prosperity and health and "stuff". |
