You're a utopian? Not an earth2025er?

Used to, years back. The discussion boards were the best part of it. I remember a certain competitiveness between earthers and utopians - cross board spam attacks, etc.

Now I guess I had better find at least two good freeware links so that I can edit them into this and my previous post so it all stays topical.

EDIT:

Haven't spotted this one yet in this thread:

I was looking for a way to convert wav files into different formats last night and came across this very nice free program. I think you only need to register/pay if you use the advanced features, but it's great as it stands and works very well. It supports most codecs and is compatible with more if you download them as extras. Hope this is of some use:
