Introduction
ClassTopic tools are interactive gadgets to help you solve your problem. If you have an idea for a new tool, tell us in the feedback area. Note that some of these tools were not developed by ClassTopic.
If you want a homepage for your browser that is actually useful, ClassTopic offers a page with local weather, GMail, to-do lists, odd news stories, Google search, and more. It's free, fully customizable, and supported by Google. Pages are only available by request, so visit the feedback area and tell us why you think you deserve one.
Google Pack
This completely free collection of software from Google is simply amazing. It includes Picasa, Google Earth, Ad-Aware (adware removal tool), Norton AntiVirus, Firefox, and more. The best part is that you get to customize your pack and download only the software you want.

Use the drop box to choose which Wiki source you need, enter a keyword, and click "go". The Wikipedia option is a free online encyclopedia edited by everyone. The quotes option is great for finding out what famous people have said about your topic.
