The Classic Windows Software Pack has received a small update. I've received reports that the "System Pack" could not be downloaded. This has been finally fixed, and an updated System Pack has been uploaded.

I've also added "credits.zip" which contains links to old websites and archives where I obtained all this software. The lists were pulled from this project's dead wiki, and they have not been updated in a year (I believe), so expect to see dead sites.

Cyberbuddy running on Windows 98, a Microsoft Agent helper program that like Bonzi Buddy is very feature rich, and even comes with a built in instant messenger . Unfortunately it is also very unstable, hopefully you'll have better luck running it than I did.
Cyberbuddy's website is still online, and it can be downloaded from there: http://thecyberbuddy.com/

Numerology Star Reader 2003 for Windows XP, a ridiculously elaborate program that makes many ridiculous claims! It claims it can read biorhythms, lottery tickets, evil eey, dreams, and more.
