Any suggestions for links to add are appreciated. All links should be directed to the original posts whenever possible inside tead of a direct download link (right-click on permalink in the upper right-hand corner of the post for the link to that post.) Give credit where credit is due. No links to pirated or even questionable downloads. Period. (BTW, if I step on any toes, let a guide know. Your links will be edited out without argument or hard feelings.)
