The amount of storage you can get with a free online email account now is probably 10x's larger than your first hard drive. I have used Gmail since it was by invite only and it still works great the SPAM filtering works very well and I like the way the conversations only take up a single line, indicating how many in the thread and if it is unread. One thing I would like to see is folders, Stars are okay, and labels help, but folders would be great. The mail search is the key benefit I get from...

Direct WAV MP3 Splitter is an easy-to-use and very fast tool to split or cut MP3 and WAV files. It allows you to quickly split large files without recompression and quality loss and save the results into new files. The program also works as an automatic MP3 splitter. A build-in audio player lets you listen to audio files (with adjustable speed) and then split them with automatic track numbering. You can automatically split MP3 and WAV files into equal-sized parts (using time, size or number of parts...

We did make one modification to it, instead of using a weighted item we used a rubberband and attached it to the base. This gave us the ability to modify the amount of tension on the arm for different objects. It worked as planned, ours didn't have wheels, we figured we didn't need wheels...
