Free Software Can Be the Best Choice

Filed under: Software, Internet — kathryn August 6, 2007 @ 8:46 am

Every computer I have ever bought was full of junk that I never used.  For the most part, I downloaded much of the software that I needed.  It seems that the free stuff is often as good, if not better, than anything you might find to buy.

There are exceptions to every rule, but so far my choices haven’t let me down.  I would probably have lots more freeware, shareware, or other free products found online, but I have dialup.  I am limited in what I can download onto my computer.  But never fear, even dialup can get into the free market.

I was introduced to Foxfire a few months back and haven’t even thought of using another browser.  I love the way it is set up, and the options that can be added.  It was one of those finds that everyone needs to experience.  The price is unbeatable (free) and the performance is the best I have found.

The great thing is that there are hundreds of free software programs available over the internet.  Just because your computer comes preset, doesn’t mean you are stuck with that software.  Look around and test out some of the other options that are available to you.  This is a particularly good project BEFORE purchasing lots of software.  It may be that what you need is free and just a download away.
