GIS and Database Application
(Windows only; ODBC or mySQL)

Natural Resources Database (NRDB)
http://www.nrdb.co.uk

i designed most of the new features myself but the main author/programmer is Richard Alexander (used C++/MFC) and its opensourced. hes looking for more programmers to pitch in though

this is the main reason why i got inspired to learn an easier language - PB (because C is so dang hard!) my ultimate dream someday (if ever i get good enough) is to port some of its code and maybe create a multi-platform GIS software similar to esri's arcview and make it available to development organizations all over the world as a free alternative to expensive esri applications. .. well at least dreaming doesnt cost a cent

Unstoppable copier: This program will copy files no matter what. I used this to recover a CD that was giving me the cyclic redundancy error. Windows won't copy it but this will.

Well i can only suggest http://www.kvraudio.com/
They got just about everything, from free to commercial. Instruments, hosts, effects. Lets just say nearly everything

check user ratings over free plugins:

edit: of the free things i think i only use superwave P8. It can do some cool stuff

About guitars and so on i'm not the one to ask. I think such instruments belong as analog hehe.

If you use KeyNote for PB projects (and for another affairs):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/keynote/

you probably will be interested in WebKeyNote, which was designed to convert KeyNote (.knt) files to HTML, retaining the tree-like structure of notes:
