This site will work and look a whole lot better in a browser that supports web standards, but it's still accessible to any browser or Internet device.
I share with you some of the coolest stuff on the Net. That I know of.
I'm picky when choosing downloadable software. The best attributes that get my vote would be as follows: freeware, 1MB or less, and does not require an installation procedure. Programs like these can be carried around in a floppy disk and attatched to emails without looking like an evil inboxhog madperson. If you know one with at least one of the mentioned features, and recommendable, tell away.
Click on an item's title to download, or click "home" to visit it's official page and get more details. Everything featured here have been used and reviewed by yours truly. I recommend them under most circumstances, but be warned that some are strictly for experienced users.
For all you progheads: some of the featured software here have their source code included. I've indicated this with, well, "Source included." Duh.
ClipTrak Fed up with searching for the perfect Clipboard enhancement? Look no further, I found this one and got stuck to it. This system tray tool can store limitless strips of cut/copied text. Source included. Look for the Free Utilities section in PC Magazine Online.

Notetab Leading-edge text editor and HTML/CSS coding tool that does it all. Without exaggerating: it has LOTS of features. Very advanced. I'd say it has everything most text editors have, and then some. I'm using this instead of Editpad now for editing my webpages.
