Iso to CD burner!
After trying various utils which were supposed to be able to extract an iso CD image back onto a CD and wasting around 18 CD's, all of which turned out to be blank of any files, I finally tried ImgBurn which succeeded in reproducing a usable CD.

Homebank: personal accounting s/w
Certainly a well-established s/w but, last I asked in February, it didn't seem anyone used it. It's free/open source and cross-platform. Has a pretty compelling story: first developed on amigas 15 years ago, now on all major platforms and in 50-some-odd languages. HomeBank 4.3 released june 18th, 2010... 20 Jun 2010 14:32
