Screensavers
MappedUp
MappedUp is an application that tracks a large number of RSS news sources and displays their latest items on a world map, geographically and in real-time.
Really Slick Screensavers
Some of these are real number cruncher screensavers. Computers are getting much more powerful these days, and [his] old savers don’t bring them to their knees like they used to. These ones do. Of course, you can still turn the settings way down if you have a pathetic, old computer.
Freeware
There are plenty of Defragmenting programs out there - each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Defraggler stands out as an exceptional piece of software that I highly recommend. Defraggler works with Windows XP and Vista.
I use notepad a lot and am always copying text that I want to save for use at a later time. Notepad isn’t really useful for archiving work, but it’s great for keeping snippets on your desktop that can remind you to get stuff done. If you are like me and use Notepad too, this guide is for you.
