Prepare yourself – here comes an ultra geeky tip. Say you have this folder chucked full of files and for whatever reason you need a list of all the file and folder names inside that folder.

Pandora, you’re great, but I need you more than how long you offer yourself and…let’s face it, I’m not paying money for any kinda of internet service.

Ringtone Madness
For since I can remember, I have been making my very own ringtones for my mobile cellular handheld. All done via a simple yet powerful utility entitled Audacity.
