- PDF converters. Liked PDF Online's interface better, but I think our work spam blocker nixed the email delivery, since I didn't receive it. Useful for the occasional conversion. Wonder if I'll get email solicitations now.
- Thought I'd like the note generators but they didn't do much for me. Not a college student. I LOVED printablepaper.net though! I was going to a Twins game the next day so printed a baseball score sheet. Now, if I just knew how to score a game ... This is a terrific site when you need one or two sheets of graph paper for a knitting project. NICE!
- I thought Stripemania would be good for previewing yarn combinations for knitting, but it wouldn't work (at work again). Couldn't pick a color. I gave this 30 seconds and thought, "Nope - I'll look for another one."
- both citation generators would be good tools, but again for college students. Nothing for legal citation - Bluebook needs to add this. BB does have an online subscription, but it didn't look like it built the citation for you (which is what everyone wants).
- Timeline creator - would be useful for genealogists. Don't like the signup, but might do it. Will see what ancestry.com and Family TreeMaker offer - they may have built-in timeline creators as well.
- Image generators - disappointing, but there are probably others.
- Signs & labels - acme label maker didn't work - 404 page not found. TinyTag would be useful to generate a custom graphic for our Intranet page. Will try & remember it!
- Password generators - will definitely try sometime. All looked useful.
