GMail from Google is by far the best free web-based email around. It currently is open via invitation only, but will be fully public soon.
A few sites have people giving accounts away though. GMailSwap lets you offer items or services for an invitation, while GMailGiveaway is a daily drawing for one.
Dealsites.net has a Live Deals page that lists all the deals on other sites. It looks like it's regularly updated, so you can easily jump on deals as they come up!
CDBurnerXP Pro is a freeware CD burning software. Haven't used it yet, but it looks like it can work for most people's needs. Works on Windows XP and 2000, and says it may work on 98 and ME as well.
If you're a bit more technical, and want a somewhat more lightweight program, BurnAtOnce is another great alternative.
