This May, both scenarios played out. We ran across handy little utilities for system tray use and Office improvements. We reviewed tools for DVD-ripping, energy conservation, general tweaks, and more. And with all that work done, we felt fine about relaxing with a physics-based desktop toy and a classic game.
