A Little Click'll Do Ya.

NAME and DOWNLOAD LINK: GuruNet
DESCRIPTION: The One-Click fact finder.
SIZE: 1.5 MB.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
Windows 98, ME, NT4, 2000 or XP, and Internet Explorer 5 or 6.
COMMENT: This is one freebie I wouldn't be without. GuruNet places a little icon in your system tray and then leaves you alone. From that point on, if you hold down the "Alt" button on your keyboard, clicking your mouse pointer on any word will bring up
the GuruNet Library.
So, what's in the library? Let's try clicking on the word "library."

First, you get the dictionary with correct spelling and definitions. Click on the "speaker" to have the word pronounced.

Then you can check the encyclopedia.

How about some translations?

Google images are available with one click.

Even Donald Sutherland loves GuruNet. Watch an interview here.
