Computer Games Windows XP Games
There is a very good range which includes many different genres on this page. There are even Star Wars and GTA titles listed here in addition to some really old-skool titles. home.comcast.net/~SupportCD/XPGames.html
Here's some for Mac OS X but not as interesting. www.macgamesandmore.com/bestfreemacgames5.html
And here's some 2008 choices for Linux, and there's more interest here than you might expect. whdb.com/2008/top-25-linux-games-for-2008

Books (electronic)
There are a few places around but we like www.gutenberg.org which has a huge catalogue which includes many old classics. Download a text and read it on your computer, Internet tablet, or whatever.

If you're using Windows or OS X, make your computer into a dual boot machine and spend a week or years discovering the world of Open Source software. www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2006/05/08/dual-boot-laptop.html

Lots of bands have free stuff as well. Here at Mstation there are a number of free tracks available in our podcast section. For just a listen, browsing somewhere like www.myspace.com will turn up a wealth of things you've never heard before - just start with a genre you like and follow your ears.

Perfume
Bigger department stores in bigger cities - usually the tonier ones - have small sample bottles of perfume given to them by the perfume companies. Ask at the appropriate counter and look like you could buy a big bottle ... later.
