2) New eBook - The Koran (Qur'an)
The Koran is the central religious text of Islam. Muslims believe the Qur'an, in its original Arabic, to be the literal word of God
that was revealed to Muhammad over a period of twenty-three
years until his death. We have placed three translations of the
Koran in an askSam searchable format for download or searching
online.

5) FREE Product Offer - Microsoft SyncToy
- The Smart Way To Copy Files
Increasingly, computer users are using different folders, drives,
and even different computers (such as a laptop and a desktop) to
store and retrieve files. There are new sources of files coming
from every direction: digital cameras, e-mail, cell phones,
portable media players, camcorders, PDAs, and laptops. Yet
managing hundreds or thousands of files is still largely a manual
operation. In some cases it is necessary to move files from one
place to another; in other cases there is a need to keep two
storage locations exactly in sync. Some users manage files
manually, dragging and dropping from one place to another and
keeping a mental card catalog in their heads. Others use one or
more applications of one sort or another to provide this
functionality for them.
Now there is an easier way. SyncToy is a free PowerToy for
Microsoft Windows XP that provides an easy to use, highly
customizable program to help copy, move, and synchronize different directories. Most common operations can be performed
with just a few clicks of the mouse, and additional customization
is available without adding complexity. SyncToy can manage
multiple sets of directories at the same time; it can combine
files from two folders in one case, and mimic renames and deletes
in another. Unlike other applications, SyncToy keeps track of
renames to files and will make sure those changes get carried
over to the synchronized folder.
