    I'm guessing espresso just didn't have his ready brek this morning.

    Erm, what's the problem, it was a chat tip originally.............

    Yes and all of 14 users found it useful. It does not need bumping by the OP every few months and is against the froum rules to pimp your own website. It is so easy to find free software on the net anyway!

    :rolleyes:
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:

    it is also useful if the links are in one place, if the OP wants to bump it, let them bump it, there is no harm in it and some people do find it useful. In normal cases yes, pimping your own site is against the rules, but this clearly is just a source of information - there is no revenue that can be made on any part of the OPs site.

    I'd suggest removing the version numbers from the ones that have them on your site (ie just have Eraser rather than Eraser 5.82) as three of them have old version numbers - Screen Grab Pro, Eraser and Foxit. Would also make future site updates simpler.

    Also your Open Source Windows link is dead - looks like it might be '.com' now instead of '.org', though I'm not familiar with the site so may be a different site altogether.
    Thanks, JD. I'll take a look later this week.

    Espresso. If you have a problem with my site, I would advise you to contact Martin. Other than the 'freebies page' I doubt that my site would hold any interest whatever for visitors; unless, that is, they were related to me.
    Paradoxically, your posts have the effect of 'bumping' the link more than would otherwise be the case. Keep it up.:)
  • Good site that
    It's taken me years of experience to get this cynical
  • Another site with links to good free software. It's not an exhaustive list like Filehippo but they're all pretty useful and (stable!)

    JD. Just tried the OS Windows link and it seems to be working fine. Could you try it again? Maybe the server was down at the time.
    Thanks
