Free Software
There may be no such thing as a free lunch, but there's plenty of free
software available. Be cautious where you obtain your free software.
Some "free" stuff can result in your loading garbage onto your computer without
your knowledge. The products listed here were recommended by PC Magazine,
but there are no guarantees, and generally no support aside from what you can
find in discussion groups on the internet.
