TRICK#1: DID THAT MOUSE JUST GESTURE?
http://www.tcbmi.com/strokeit/
Can your mouse make gestures? Seriously, this little program is a neat time saver. This great trick allows you to draw mouse gestures (simple symbols you "draw" on your screen using your mouse). This little genius recognizes the gesture and performs the "action" it has been preprogrammed to execute. In short, it's a nifty little program that lets you easily control programs by drawing symbols with your mouse.

In addition this neat helper comes with over 80 gestures and can be easily trained to recognize many more. All you do is hold down the right mouse button and draw the gesture for the action you want. For example to go "back" in Internet Explorer you just draw a quick dash from right to left on your screen and -- Shazam the command takes you back.

Great voodoo -- and the price is right. There is no cost for personal use of this gem!
