Notepod 1.1 for Sharp PC-1251

Notepod is a small notepad application I wrote in BASIC for the 80's pocket computer Sharp PC-1251 and its Tandy counterpart, the TRS-80 Pocket Computer PC-3. These computers didn't ship with any sort of notetaking capabilities; only calculator functions and BASIC. This program makes it immensely more usable in my opinion.

Apple SuperDrive driver for Windows

Do you have an Apple SuperDrive USB DVD/CD-burner, and want to use it on a Windows computer? Then you'll need this driver. Although Windows will recognize the device as an optical drive, the insert/eject disc mechanism does not work with Windows' built-in driver for USB optical drives. This driver is copied directly from Apple's Boot Camp software. The Boot Camp utilities are freely available from Apple, but you'll have to download the entire suite in one file. I've uploaded here only the SuperDrive driver, for easy convenience. The file has not been modified in any way, but obviously you are downloading it at your own risk.
