Zamar is a cool site when you can't find a downloadable application to help you convert files but make sure you have your popup blocker on before navigating here. My first visit resulted in 3 popups that repeated once I attempted to close them.

Nasty. They could learn something from Google's unobtrusive text based ads.

Much better than You Get Signal: http://www.grc.com/intro.htm

Media-convert is a site just like Zamzar, but without the obtrusive ads. They convert more file types than Zamzar. I use them for just any conversions I need to do.

Desktoptopia is a cool app for the mac that loads designer desktops on your monitor from an ever growing database of top creative desktops.

http://spambox.us/ lets you set the expire date of your temporary email address from 30 minutes, to a whole year

In addition to my last post, http://www.youconvertit.com/ lets you convert files up to 300Mb in size, instead of media-convert's 150Mb and zamzar's 100Mb. It also lets you convert up to 5 files at once.

sry for double post, I thought the comment wasn't adding correctly (I just made an acount btw)

dontreg.com - temp email is useful too.

There are some great tools here, well worth a look.

This is a fantastic list. I submitted it to BloggingZoom.com because I know there are people there who could make use of these tools. Thanks.

I would like to add Zoho to the list. It provides around 14 different tools like wiki to CRM tools, chat and may more.

Good list. Regarding security and mail delivery, I suggest this very interesting service:

https://lockbin.com/

It's very useful, reliable and easy-to-use. A big help ensuring your privacy online.

p.s. of course...it's free without any limitation.

There are more free DNS, IP and host tools at mydnstools.info, including a very cool web host / webserver info tool.

Outstanding list of tools. Especially Zamzar. I had forgotten about it and your list reacquainted me with the service. I was looking for something to change a pdf to a doc file for a client. The Zamzar application was just what the doctor ordered.

Thanks a lot

Here is a list that has hundreds of free ware ranked by popularity
http://michaeleee.blogspot.com/2007/01/list-of-best-freeware.html

I use GuerrillaMail for temp email. I use XDrive for online storage(even though I despise AOL) it is an excellent tool it gives 5 Gb and has a per file limit of 2.5Gb compared to box.net it blows it away and there is a free client you can run on your machine that mounts the 5Gb as a network drive. Really quite impressed with it. I like and use most of the others too, nice list. Also instead of Trends housecall(used to use it) ESET has now made an online scanner on their site(as far as I, and most security sites, are concerned is the best AV). Thanks for the list.

I don't mean to sound as if I have all the answers - but I found a FANTASTIC website that has techs that work with you on the phone to fix any PC issue FREE - not only that, but this website has a toolbar called "The Gadgetbar Toolbar" and it has most if not all of each and every link on this webpage and more!!!! I might even dare say that it even has links to other similar websites that have better free tests & scans than the ones that have been offered by everyone here... How they found all of this cool info - I don't know... But the collection of helpful stuff they found and put into their toolbar is by far much greater / larger than the amount of things offered here on this page.... Like I said - I offer no offense in boasting that I have all the answers, but if so many of you really appreciate this web page for the few links it offers to other help websites - then you will definitely LOVE The Gadgetbar Toolbar AND the I.G. Headquarters website!!!! http://www.ig-headquarters.com/index.htm

Regards,
Just another helpful offer of what I found - hope you like it.

I just came upon this while using my Stumbleupon toolbar! As I read all of these posts and tried all of the links, I realized this was indeed a good idea.... But that last post by "Anonymous" really got me curious... The IG headquarters website really is pretty cool. I downloaded and installed the gadgetbar toolbar and even though I haven't yet seen all of the links on this page inside the toolbar, I did see some so far - so perhaps it is for real. Gadgetbar definitely has a ton of free scans and stuff. I am running them on my other computer as I am typing on this one. I am also a strong believer in the Firefox browser. I won't surf without it. Gadgetbar works for Firefox too, which is good! I see that even though it may be true that they have a lot more to offer than a few links, they also offer a gigantic database of free online streaming TV & Movies too! THAT IS MORE MY CUP OF TEA! Yeah, I like helpful links, free tests and scans - but my heart is into entertainment! One of the links I found in Gadgetbar is for PC Pitstop:  http://www.pcpitstop.com/pcpitstop/default.asp

There are really too many to mention and this one may already be a popular one.. The Gadgetbar and the site that created it have one thing in common with Emerging Techs: They both have a ton of helpful, free information!

Gadgetbar has my vote!

Great list. I just created a del.ico.us account and then bookmarked most of the other sites :)

Thanks for the info
