Borrowing an idea from my friend Craig Froehle and since a snapshot of my systray was in the previous post, I thought it might be fun to have a little contest. My main workstation is running Windows XP Professional and in the image below, I have numbered all of the applications running in my System Tray (aka SysTray). The first person to come the closest to guessing all of the applications correctly will win their choice of either an XL Palm T-Shirt, or a free G-mail e-mail account.
Feel free to guess as many times as you like, but all guesses must be posted as a comment to this article. Of course others can take your guesses and combine them with their own, but it’s all in good fun.
Happy guessing!
3 is Trillian.
5 is the Palm HotSync manager..?
6 resembles this tray-based calendar called TrayCalendar, but I don’t know.
10 is your common or garden network status indicator.
13 is AVG, the antivirus program.
14 is the volume controller.
15 is something to do with picasa.
I’m out!
03 = correct
05 = correct
06 = incorrect, but close
10 = correct
13 = correct
14 = correct
15 = correct, it’s Picasa2
That’s almost half of them already answered. Nice job Raena!

Merlin,
Nice job, you got a lot of them right, here’s the breakdown of your answers:
01 = incorrect
02 =
03 = correct
04 = correct
05 = correct
06 =
07 = correct
08 = incorrect
09 = incorrect (but sooooo close)
10 = correct
11 = correct
12 = incorrect
13 = correct
14 = correct
15 = correct
16 = correct
So here’s all the right answers thus far with credit to the person that provided the correct answer. And since Merlin was so close with #9, I’m going to give it to him. #9 is the Alarm Manager for the Palm Desktop.
01 =
02 =
03 = Trillian (Raena Armitage)
04 = Google Desktop (Merlin)
05 = HotSync Manager (Raena Armitage)

This leaves only 5 more to guess!
