Plain Brown Power is (was?) a collection of no-nonsense, feature-packed day-to-day essentials oriented toward people who earn their living on Windows PCs. It is non-supported, not likely to be updated, provided as-is, and offered entirely at your own risk.

The 26 programs and packages previously offered here are now available only as source code (see news below).

News and product updates
	Mar 20, 2006: Source only available from this date forward I have removed compiled, ready-to-run applications from all packages. Uncompiled Delphi (Object Pascal) source code is still available, but the installation packages previously offered here are no longer available. The risk of offering these programs without the protection of liability insurance and commercial representation in the event of end-user litigation is too high to justify offering these programs as ready-to-use free or shareware software. To my knowledge, "nuisance suits" over free source code have been dramatically less frequent than suits over compiled applications, so I've decided to keep source available rather than remove this section of the site altogether.
	Jul 14, 2005 Frames removed; all pages in this section shifted to a table layout for higher compatibility and fewer browsing issues, but the original look and feel is kept, even though it's inconsistent with the cublea.net layout.
	Jun 17, 2004 Plain Brown Power downloads are back online, with full source code available free along with all software, and appropriate safeguards in place against potential liability from software faults. The voluntary-pay model has been converted to simple donationware, meaning that contributions will still be accepted, but be aware that all software under the Plain Brown Power label is offered as-is, and will not likely be updated, maintained, or supported in any way from this point forward. DOWNLOAD AND USE THIS SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
	Mar 1, 2003 The site and all software was taken offline today. I have finally realized that I can't maintain this product at the level I agreed to when I took on this project. There is no longer a Feature Creeps to maintain the product, this is more than I can handle on my own, and the potential liability from software faults represents a personal financial risk which far outweighs any potential benefit there might be from maintaining this site. For this reason I have decided to halt development and remove all Plain Brown Power software from distribution. Sorry...I wish there was a better alternative, but none has appeared, and none seems likely.
	Dec 3, 2002: New manager's note After taking the time to fully acquaint myself with the state of the product on this site, I realize now that it doesn't meet the standards that The Feature Creeps had hoped to achieve, and doesn't fully live up to some promises and implied performance. I have several projects on the go at the moment, but I will be doing what I can, when I can, to bring existing software up to the level where the original team would have wanted it before releasing any new software packages. Please be patient, as I am not as capable a programmer as the previous lead developer.
	Dec 1, 2002 The Feature Creeps' assets are now under the management and maintenance of former partner Cub Lea in the absence of a new owner. Software updates are now in progress and registrations are once again being accepted. The current revenue model is now voluntary-pay rather than pure shareware, and updates and software maintenance will be provided as and when Lea is able with new products only at his discretion.
