Something free for everyone - FREE SOFTWARE

Toxteth_OGrady

It's not a question of being 'ungreatful' or hostile.

Even a cursory use of the search function on this website would have identified that it has already been covered as a money saving article.

As for browsing free software sites, there are a few big ones, which have programs on virtually anything under the sun. Be careful to check the veracity of other download sites before using them; after all, it's through downloading that the most vicious malware will get onto your machine.

The link for that quote is:

If you read the article (it's updated quarterly) you will find a link to a discussion topic where it would be more appropriate to post your list.

A lot of that list has now been superceded (especially in the Antivirus section) , which you'd expect from a list you'd probably got/compiled a while ago, and in the case of audio tools, one or two on that entry would do everything.

But on the whole, a good list for showing that there's some good stuff out there as good, or better than the commercial software.

I'm actually quite upset with the hostility i've got here. I was trying to do I nice thing for people by starting a list of commonly used applications that people can get for free. Instead i've got the usual techie "1-up" response i've had in the past from other forums and people. I don't think i'll bother next time.

Ring a bell my friend, your own words, you are repeating mistakes !, learn, learn, try to help yourself by not creating your own hostility !

There are lots of really nice helpful people here, see them as a resource, a gigantic free library of information and practical hands on experience. So called techies challenge each other relentlessly, that's the healthy nature of the beast, and an essential tool to our own enquiring minds and learning needs.

See #9 for an up~to~date safe downloads site !

Put it down to experience and just remember that some people are never happier than when they're 'dissin' somesome else.

Ive not been hostile, I dont think anyone has
Ive posted the truth. If the truth hurts then im sorry

Please dont get upset. Its a forum, why would anyone get upset over forum responses? (Especially when no ones being intentionally nasty)

My suggestion in future would be think about exactly what your posting next time

The only hostile person here is....you. A bit of a sad case actually. Why would you wish someone who used your list to choke???

You won't be missed with that attitude.

No 1 has been rude or hostile, in fact everyone has been helpful, just pointing out that its already covered, you shouldnt get upset over it,
