BB [aa-project.sourceforge.net] is a high quality ascii art demo. Grab this and dazzle geeks everywhere.

How's this for a concept?
Zero Install [zero-install.sourceforge.net]

The Zero Install system makes software installation not merely easy, but unnecessary. Users run their applications directly from the internet from the software author's pages. Caching makes this as fast as running a normal application after the first time, and allows off-line use.

I haven't tried it yet, but it is an interesting idea.
