1. Intro
LiveTour 2005 is a quick-done app, a simple floating window, which will display latest news in the Tour of France 2005.



2. Make it work!
You need a mac, OS X 10.3 and internet connection. Launch LiveTour 2005 and adjust some options under the "Options" menu.
LiveTour 2005 "borrows" the news from "http://www.letour.com/", so this app may stop working at any time, if letour.com webmasters change the html code of such page.
More features... Next year! (since this is a short-time app which *may only* work for a brief time period, please, do not ask for features nor bugs)
Special thanks to Jonathan Nathan, who made LiveTour's special effects. Visit his web page full of nifty utilities here: http://homepage.mac.com/jonn8/as/
