→GENERAL TIPS
* [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity] is a free, open source audio editing tool that you can use for things like trimming songs down to a reasonable length (2:00 - 4:30 minutes is usually about right) and to do other sound editing jobs. It's available on many different platforms (OS9/OSX, Windows, Linux/Unix). You may need to locate the LAME encoder DLL if you choose to run it on Windows and want to export your edits to an MP3 file, but that's pretty easily done.
* [http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/learn/ Trillian Basic] is a good Windows client for multiple IM networks, including AIM. It's free too.

*Two relatively recent intros can be found here: [http://wso.williams.edu/orgs/trivia/vampires/intro.mp3 Neutered Vampires Who Cheat at Kitten Poker] and here: [http://velveteenrabbi.com/DiplomaticImmunityIntro.mp3 Diplomatic Immunity]
