Captures a web site I want to return to.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Windows Snipping Tool. Lets me clip all the tasteless images and useful (I hope) stock charts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Captio. Write a message to yourself. Hit the send button and it emails your brilliance. Fast and useful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Kindle for my PC. The typeface on paper books is too small. Kindle can make the type readable. Also I can highlight good stuff. And Kindle stores them in a file called &#8220;Notes.&#8221; When I buy a book on Kindle, Amazon immediately downloads it directly to my PC. Super fast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Pocket Casts is the best podcast app for your phone. Costs $3.99. Worth every penny.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Adobe Photoshop. I have an old version. But it&#8217;s just fine for fiddling all the images you see here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Mozilla Firefox will get you logged onto public networks, e.g. those at airports.
