The holiday season is here again, and it’s time for the 2008 Holiday Gift Guide. One of the great things about Impulse is the ability to purchase gifts for other people, and they will be able to download them without having to wait for a package to arrive through the mail.
Day 3 we are going to go right into desktop enhancements, most of which will be applications to help you customize and organize your desktop.
