0. Mike Bull has compiled a list of over 140
engineering programs which he has downloaded and
tested, and is looking for further suggestions:

1. Our amazing list host, FreeLists, has started a
new email and file storage service called
MailandFiles.com: "For 5 bucks a month, you get
access to 50MB of email and file storage, a
you@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx email address, access to that
email through web mail, POP3, and IMAP, plus access
to your files both through the web mail client and
FTP.  (Software like WebDrive(tm) and Windows 2000+'s
"map a network drive" makes it easier on Windows
users.)" If their incredible service at FreeLists
is any indication, this is sure to be the best
service of its kind on the Internet:

2. Make your own CD origami case online:

3. Create your own O'Reilly book cover

4. The "Green Award" is slowly returning to TinyApps.
It is awarded to apps which:
+ do not require installation
+ do not write to the registry
+ do not create or modify files outside of their own directories

5. More on Knoppix, the self-contained, easy-to-use
Linux distro mentioned a few issues back:
