Google Toolbar - Just use firefox with the gmail add-on. There are a number of them out there. I personally use the one that lets me track multiple gmail (officially google apps) accounts. I don't think the Google Toolbar can do that either. Adobe Reader - Try Foxit. It loads 100 times faster than Adobe's reader (unless you disable all the bloatware they add and then you have problems one day when one of the PDFs needs the bloatware) Nice list, but I’m not sure why you’re using some of those proprietary tools.
