Creating program CD...

[Alchemy1]

I am building a system over the summer, but it will be at home where I don't have my lovely LAN connection so it will take forever and a day on 56k. Because of this I want to download and save all of the programs that I will be using to a cd. I already have some programs, but I was wondering if I was leaving something out that might come in handy.

Here is what I got so far:
-Prime 95
-Zone Alarm
-XP and 2K tweak software (will be using 2k and then upgrading to xp. I am not using them at the same time)
-Ad Aware
-AVG viruse scan
-Trillian
-Free Rip

I don't really play games. I am more into music programs. I just got the free update cd from MS last week so I think I am okay on the windows updates.
