Cat Claws M.A.X. Big Cat Scratcher
This thing is so frigging awesome I only wish I had the room in the apartment to get one. I'll have to settle for one of the smaller ones, like
Bumpy Ramp
or
M.A.X. Scratch 'N Snooze Scratcher
They have a large assortment here;

Feline Furniture Cat Activity Starter Kit
I don't know that I would actually buy this for my cats, maybe if I had enough money.
However it seems to me that this would be fairly easy to make from pvc pipes and the interlocking joints that you can get at a hardware supply. Get some ripstop nylon and sew it up for the hammocks and those cube enclosures are sold at other places, or I could try my hand at one, but it's all held together with velcro straps so, why not?

They have a real cute video of two blind kittens playing. Simply adorable!

Modular Cat Cages and Cat Enclosure Systems
Lovely idea! I used the smaller 14x14 inch wire storage cubes to make a large kitten enclosure once, and that worked very well. If I ever get into my own home I will seriously consider this option to make am outside playground for my buddies.
Cat Gym
Despite the maker saying this cat tree gym is not for adult cats I think that my nut-butts* would have fun with this one.
*short for peanutbutter - I have no further explanation :-)

Windows Registry and System Restore
The following are all Microsoft Knowledge Base articles;
Back up the registry in Windows XP
How to Back Up the Registry in Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition
Windows System Restore
Back up the registry in Windows XP
How to Back Up the Registry in Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition
Windows System Restore
WIndows Start-up Programs - Help Sites
Just a few sites that offer some insight and advice as to what programs your computer is running from start-up. Several resources noted as some go down at times. Use caution and think these through BEFORE applying changes to your computer.
And please, back up your Registry before starting.
2) Arvind Gopu's Tweak Windows XP services
3) Beemer's Optimize XP Services
4) GovernmentSecurity.org - Disabling unnecessary and potentially dangerous services
Don't ask me about the site name - I couldn't find the reason right up front. What they look like is a six-year old network security group who share information about resolving problems and advising members as to proper network security protocol.
That's about it. Other sites found were ambiguous in their instruction that just might possibly make a someone mess up their computer.
Just take care with what you do, it will take some time so don't start unless you're willing to devote, at minimum, an hour reading everything and then another half-hour to 45 minutes actually resetting your system from the instructions.
