TinyApps …Little apps with a big punch

I have been browsing the web recently …as I do and I found this great site…its called TinyApps.org …You might have heard of it…
basically its a bunch of cool little apps that are all either free or open source and are smaller than 1.4 megs (the size of a floppy)

You are probably thinking “How good can apps be if they are only 1 meg” …short answer Very
Long Answer:They are very nice because they have only the features you need , download fast , and are not bloated and complicated
very cool site check it out at TinyApps.org

Some cool apps

Finaly…I was tired of having to minimize all the apps on my screen to look at the clock…and all the clock apps I looed at were bloated and had a bunch of things I didnt need…so tom being a crazy coder as he is rose to the challenge once again and created this:

(zoomed for better visibility…actual size is about the size of the taskbar clock)

…from now on …I will be submitting my apps in this form …
