Since the beginning
of the Internet, the emoticon has been one of celebrated symbols
of today's communication. It has transcended cultural and
geographic barriers, becoming the de facto slang of e-mail
and chat rooms. Over time, crafty typists have created new
emoticons. This program helps you keep track of them, and
lets you quickly and easily apply them to your favorite program.
By default, the program includes over 250 emoticons and over
300 smileys that you probably thought didn't exist.

sentiment. You'll be able to convey just about anything.
There are also cool characters, including emoticons
for Bill Clinton, Cindy Crawford, Don King and even
Elvis. Of course, you can delete emoticons and easily
add your own. As you amass them, they can be grouped
into different categories.
