Money origami (8 Jan 2005)
Many more ways to fold a dollar bill. Some old, some new, all good. And at only 54p a time, you can easily afford to make them all.

Windows Media Components for QuickTime (12 Jan 2006)
Free download from Microsoft for playing Windows Media in QuickTime; much nicer than their own player.

Super Mario sheet music (12 Jan 2005)
The first one is in A flat and has loads of accidentals, but the rest don't look too tricky. I'll give it a whirl later on.
