Hey guys,

I've have run my own software company for quite some time and now have decided to do a little programming on my own, on the side just for fun.

My company has been basically a general utility type company (ZIP, CD creation, backup, etc.). I would like to stick with a smaller system type utility or some type of utility but I'm out of ideas.

Anyone with any real need to any type of general or system utility that you think is missing out there right now or good be done a whole lot better or simpler?

I find many companies tend to make utilities as hard as they can to use and stick feature after feature in the software, when it really isn't needed or just confuses the heck out of the end user, so I like to make my apps simpler to use for the common if not, novice type users.

This app I create on my own will be free (donations of course will be accepted if someone wants to send one my way once it's up and available).

Ideas? Thoughts? Any help or ideas (however crazy) would be appreciated.
