Dorota's Tool Land
| There's nothing particularly original in any sense of the word about this page-- this is simply my "favorite stuff" hit list. My computers seem to go down all the time, mostly because I use them for things they aren't meant for... so I keep this page posted so I can get at these things at any time whenever I have to re-format. (Of course, anyone else is welcome to use it for what it's worth.) If there is a webpage available for any given tool, you can click on the icon on the left to get there. |
