The past few months I've been the Program Manager for SoftwareFor.org.

I'm pleased to announce our latest Mac OS X & Windows versions. Please see our press release for more info.

We've spent some late nights working on this, and I'm very happy with the user interface that Dave Turnbull developed. A list of programs included on the CDs is available here.

SD, SD, Everywhere

My sweetie gifted me a used Palm Tungsten T (m550) for Christmas. It takes SD(Secure Digital) Cards for additional storage. SD seems to be replacing Compact Flash cards all over the place. I found a Transcend 1GB Secure Digital (SD) Card for $64.81 (including S&H) at NewEgg, & recommended it to a friend. I love NewEgg, and have spent thousands of dollars there - mostly for other people.
