Tomorrow is the last day to order from Amazon.com
and still get free Super Saver shipping on your order. Seeing that put the realization that Christmas is coming very soon on my mind and I wanted to share with you an easy and cool gift I'm giving a few people on my list this year, a Kingston 1GB USB Flash Drive preloaded with a bunch of excellent freeware software installers.This Kingston 1GB USB Flash Drive
is only $8.99 on Amazon.com and very well rated. Purchase this (and pad your order to $25 for the free shipping) and load some of the following software for an excellent gift, especially for those who are getting new computers this season.$8.99 for a gift that they'll definitely reuse and appreciate? Not a bad deal at all. You can personalize it even more by adding a folder with a bunch of photos or MP3s. Makes an excellent stocking stuffer too.
Windows Software (Much is available for Apple as well)
OpenOffice (120MB)- A freeware replacement for Microsoft Office. Opens and creates documents/spreadsheets/PowerPoint-style presentations.

VLC Media Player (9.3MB) - Media player that can handle almost every file type thrown at it

Good gift suggestion (I may buy one for myself). I enjoyed reading - you write very well. Good luck with the new blog!
Thank's for stopping by lady language! Glad you're enjoying it so far, hopefully I'll have some more posts you'll find useful in the future as well.
Lifehacker.com just put up a great list of free software you might want to check out as well here.
Excellent looking blog you have going as well. I had no idea Zubas would ever come back, that's a scary thought.
