THIS ARTICLE IS UNFINISHED, and probably never will be. Check back anytime for updates and suggestions.
So, I have decided here, read.cash, is where I want to start writing and providing my thoughts and content regarding my technology adventures. I will at another time, write my so called qualifications to do so, but at the moment I will refrain.
This article is likely to be updated from time to time as well as expanded. Not really sure how to do it, so expect some volatility. Bookmark this page and check for updates.
First off to make it onto this list, in most cases will require the application to be a "Portable App" or at the very least, HAVE AN EASY WAY TO BACKUP AND RESTORE ALL PERSONAL SETTINGS WITH MINIMAL EFFORT!

Windows GUI / Interface Improvements, Screen Management
RBTray - (Opensource) is a small Windows program that runs in the background and allows almost any window to be minimized to the system tray (System tray is near the clock in the Windows taskbar, tiny ass icons) by:
Right-Clicking its minimize button
Shift-Right-Clicking on its title bar
Using the Windows-Alt-Down hotkey
GoScreen - (Closed source) Virtual desktop manager.
Tiny, less than 5mb. Portable, No Install Needed, Can export all configuration settings into a single XML. Very low resources needed.
