Free Programs I Actually Use
Posted: Sun Aug 03, 2008 12:50 pm
Sure there is a lot of free stuff out there, but what do I use most? Here's my picks.
Pidgin IM - An open source instant messaging client, which can connect to virtually any IM network.
OpenOffice.org - An open source office suite. Just as good as Microsoft Office, only 100% cheaper.
PCGen - An open source D&D character generator. 4E support isn't there yet, as they can't legally support 4E yet, but it's pretty cool.
Firefox - Firefox web browser. You should know about this by now. The extensions available alone make it 1000% better than Internet Explorer.
Thunderbird - The thunderbird e-mail client. If you ever used Outlook Express, this will be largely familiar, only it doesn't suck. For those like me who prefer NOT to trust internet companies to preserve their e-mail, it's a must have.
