This is certainly 2 years late.  It should have gone in the mini review on Note taking software but that wasn't my review. 
But I found a great and free Personal Imformation manager. <a href="http://www.msdsoft.com/eng/download.htm">MSD</a> is it's name and it has tons of features for free.  The program is layed out with modules which can be opened from the toolbar.
 
The included modules are a calendar,contact list, task list, card file,diary,property,health, budget and a music list.
I would compare this to some shareware software of this type that cost 50 to 100 dollars.  Really is a nice program for free.

Yes you all heard that right .  Caligari Truespace 3.2 is now free.  It's a 10 year old program but still has great features.
It's a real nice 3-D modeling and CAD program.  Sort of like Bryce 5....etc. 

One of the great feature's it has is the lathe tool it lets you draw a helix from a shape.  Neat.......

If you want to give it a try go here........http://www.download.com/TrueSpace/3000-6677_4-10187286.html?tag=lst-1

It's also only a 20 mb download.
