AVG
Spybot S&D

Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Thunderbird
Mozilla Sunbird (see a theme? )
AIM 6.0
Google Earth
Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Word
Notepad
iTunes
Yahoo Widgets

Not necessarily in that order

It isn't quite what I want it to be but has features no other browser hasTHE best mail client I have ever usedI don't like it because I can't sync it to anythingGAIM is better IMOIt's interestingOne of Microsoft's original products, a must have(which is incredibly rare)I like Word Perfect betterI have the source code of the original notepad, I have also written my own version
best music management app I have usedmeh, I liked it but it didn't turn out to be too practical

What did you develop your notepad version in?

Hmmm, WordPerfect? Have you tried OpenOffice?

I like those widget things, use the weather one quite a bit, but they seem to be a real memory hog.

I used Borland Turbo C++ Explorer. You can download it free.

I used Turbo, then Borland all the time. I'm using Visual C++ these days. Programming can be a lot of fun, just wish I had more time for it. How advanced is your C++?

I'm only fluent in the basic console stuff, but I'm trying to learn how to use wxWidgets when I have the time. I like to use wxDevC++ for that. I hate CLI, it's so cluttery.
