I recently took to the streets as part of the annual Black Friday ritual.  _place_holder;As I was perusing one of the big box electronics stores, I ran across an HP laptop with a core i7 processor, a 9-cell battery, and a 17.3 display for a good price and waited 1.5 hours in the checkout line.  _place_holder;In honor of my new purchase and setting up a new workstation, I thought that I would put together a list of desktop tools.  _place_holder;
Without further ado, here is the list:
-
SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive - Mount .iso images
-
imgburn - DVD image burner (be careful to watch out for the deceptive download links)
