Found this link on Gadgetopia today, TinyApps is a nice little site dedicated to small programs that specialize in one single task, and do it well.
The site is also lite on content to quote, so here's a large portion of the front page:
Welcome to TinyApps.Org, a guide to very small software for your PC. Virtually all of the programs listed here are free of charge and for use under Windows (Palm and OS X pages also exist). If this is your first visit, please read the FAQ.
If we do stroll over to the FAQ, we see a bit more info:
To qualify for TinyApps, a program must:
* Not exceed 1.44mb
* Not be adware
* Not require the VB/MFC/.NET runtimes. Also, preference is given to apps which are 100% self-contained, requiring no installation, registry changes, etc.
*Preferably be free, and ideally offer source code. Shareware will only be listed if there is no freeware alternative.
It is a pretty good list of software, I noticed a few apps that I've been using for years (yay LeechFTP -- a great FTP client which is known to sometimes return all your error messages in some foreign language -- possibly German).
