      Cute PDF

      Surprised noone has mentioned this yet.

      Basically it installs itself as a printer on your computer, and if you send a document to it to be printed it is converted to a PDF. Pretty nifty 👍

        I use PDF995, it works pretty well, I've had a licensed copy for a while now.

          pdf995 link

          Is it a stand alone program? (as opposed to a cutePDF type program.)

              Well, it needs to be installed as a PDF printer doesn't it? There are some other components avaiable that are part of the 995 suite and that are standalone and some integrate.

                Remus - I added Objectdock and like it quite a bit. Thank you!

                I suggest strongly using iGoogle for your home page too - add all your daily websurf links, weather, news, rss feeds etc...

                        I know of a DirectX exporter for SU, but not an importer. IIRC you'll have to use some other conversion app and import that.

                          Google Reader

                          Not an application as such, but a really useful (and free) webpage for collecting your RSS feeds together. The usual easy to use google type layout.

                            SyncToy

                            A microsoft application that works (so far.) Basically its a syncing application, you select the 2 folders you want to sync, press go and they sync. Very useful for backups and synchronising laptops etc. Also has lots of useful options and very few superfolous options, im pretty impressed with it so far.

                                    Hopefully this doesnt sound too offensive, but have you actually looked at the link? its a really good app.

                                    p.s. It runs on windows as well, so in my book that makes it a ueful win app.

                                        Ohhhhhhh, it all makes sense now 😛

                                        Well i have tried it now, and it is pretty good. A bit rough around the edges, but very good none the less.
