A while ago I had ordered a Mambo X<\/a> MP3-compatible portable CD player, and I just received word it was finally ready to ship. Unfortunately, according to the e-mail I just received, “some features have changed since the original specifications. Track and title names are no longer supported, as are the playlist and search capabilities. A constant bitrate from 64kbps – 160kbps is supported. Variable bitrate at 50% is supported (VBR50).” So reluctantly I’ve decided to cancel my order and hope for some form of second generation Mambo X.
    It’s about time I did something<\/i> on this [Gadgets] page though. So just for the heck of it, here’s some free software! These are programs I’ve been using for quite a while both at home and at work. In no way do I claim these programs as my own; I did not write them, they are simply freely distributed freeware:
    Double Desktop<\/a> – double your screen real estate by creating a virtual second desktop
        <\/a> — a heinous program that will destroy Hollywood as we know it
    Folder Info<\/a> — find out how much space a folder uses, including subdirectories
    G Photosho<\/a> — turn your digital photos into a slide show screen saver
