Treepad Lite - Personal Tect database PIM organizer 
TreePad Lite (freeware) and TreePad Asia (freeware) are small and powerful personal database programs, only 465 Kb in size. They allow you to store all your notes, emails, texts, hyperlinks, etc. into one or multiple databases. With the look and feel of the familiar Windows explorer, editing, storing, browsing, searching and retrieving your data can not be easier!
TreePad can be run directly from a floppy, if necessary, including data. To find any article you previously created or imported, you can browse the tree, in the same way as you browse directories/folders in the Windows explorer. You can also use the internal search engine to find any piece of information swiftly.

Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developer, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Pure Data - Multimedia Programming
Pd is a real-time software system for live musical and multimedia performances. It is in active development by Miller Puckette, and perhaps others. The system is unfinished, but quite useable for sophisticated projects. It has been ported to GNU/Linux, MacOS X, IRIX, BSD, and many flavors of Windows.
PD (aka Pure Data) is a real-time graphical programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing. It is the third major branch of the family of patcher programming languages known as Max (Max/FTS, ISPW Max, Max/MSP, jMax, etc.) originally developed by Miller Puckette and company at IRCAM. The core of Pd is written and maintained by Miller Puckette and includes the work of many developers, making the whole package very much a community effort.
This program (Abee Chm Maker) for easy making chm-files. CHM-files can store many html-pages in one file. It is more convenient to store one file instead a lot of independent html-pages. CHM-files can include contents and index for more convenient and more quick search and navigation.
Pages in CHM-file are stored in compressed state. CHM-files can be opened in any modern operation system like Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME or Windows XP. The support of CHM-viewing is built into this operation systems.

SAN Gear Notes -
i have seen only two freeware, at least in those days with Google like, Keyword search for Media - Cheez is one the other is Keynote. Bot are like Software Art. Programmers can draw inspiration and ideas from these on usability and frugal usage of mem-cpu.
Some Apps and Applets or Widgets take more CPU and Memory Resources, Here is a gadget made to demonstrate it Aquatic Animations. When the Screen shows entire Aquarium, CPU Loads use FreeMeter to study. The 1 GHz computers are also affected. We cannot assume all have state of the art machines and browsers. The Latest Desktop Programs also just Choke the Machines.
The CPU is being made faster and multicore and the OS Makers again overload the Architecture by luxurious resource hungry Systems. This has been happening since 286, but most pronounced now. The OS can be developed without making it Beefy and Heavy. The CPU cant keep getting faster. It needs to be Energy Efficient and the OS Slim and Sensible.
The only solution is to move to Handhelds and Webapps to end this Runaway OS Design Process.
Conclusion -
The computing capability requirement for a future user is enormous, The data and databases unmanageable. Neither can he carry a Supercomputer in his Knapsack, nor can he afford to keep it in his home. He would either way not use it to full capacity.
He can carry or keep on his desktop a Light Weight Affordable Viewer alone. Hence "Move the Computation Online".
The User of the future will say "Just gimme an Ajax". He will pay for the Results. Not a Supercomputer.
