Faster PDF
For those of you who dislike how long it takes Adobe Acrobat to open when you want to read a PDF file you might try Foxit Reader. I have been using it for a long while. I even removed Adobe Reader from my system thus getting rid of the bloat. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads
Tiny URL
Sometimes I want to send someone a web link to check out but find the web address is so long as to take up two lines of text. This could lead to problems in navigating to the site. Well, there is a great & easy solution. Go to Tiny URL. There you input the unbelievable long address intop a box & with the click of a button they turn that long address into a very short one that takes you to the exact same place.

Darik's Boot And Nuke
If you're comfortable enough with your knowledge of computers, here is a hard drive eraser for free. Whenever you sell/give your computer to someone you may want to make sure the HD is really, really clear of incriminating evidence of well, whatever. Maybe you have personal data on the hard drive & want it permanently deleted before letting the puter go. This free software will do the trick, permanently wiping out all data. It's called DBAN or Darik's Boot And Nuke.
Get it here: http://dban.sourceforge.net/
DBAN works on Windows & Linux OS's. You should label this utility carefully (boot floppy or boot CD) & keep it where no one will accidentally put it in your puter & reboot. Bye-bye data.
