  • The City Tree

    A moderate tree with few colors. Kind of like those pitiful artificial trees you end up with when you're stuck someplace you'd rather not be.

  • The Bill Gates

    The Bill Gates appears much more impressive than it really is, but if you're looking for a nice short-term tree cost much, here you go.

  • The Juniper

    A fine piece of JPEG imagery, this is an actual photograph of the national tree in Washington, D.C. This tree is meant to fit on an SVGA (600x800) screen. Also available in lower fidelity for a standard VGA (640x480 screen.

  • The Juniper Supreme

    When only the finest will do, this JPEG file will turn your pixels from mere bitmaps into bundles of Xmas joy. Dragging this data through woods may tire your modem out, but these bits are worth the extra effort. For extra fun, decorate the national tree with Socks the Cat!

    Socks-the-Cat Ornaments

    Decorate your tree with the world's first digital first cat ornament! Socks is featured on the White House server in both audio and video.

    The story of how that audio of the cat was obtained is told here for the first time in an exclusive IMS Cat Scoop.

    Dozens of high-level policy aides were involved in putting the White House WWW server together. In a series of deliberations over several months, they debated how to handle the "Socks Issue." Some were in favor of simply getting audio of any cat, but cooler minds prevailed. Just imagine if the press had found out that there was a fake cat conspiracy in cyberspace!

    To avoid any possibility of SocksGate, a delegation of senior aides trailed the cat for hours until they backed it into a corner and had it squeal for mercy. Suggestions by a member of the press that the whole thing could have been dispensed with in a matter of minutes by shoving a microphone in its mouth and stepping on its tail were not taken kindly.
