Free Software

Spotted a good article on Yahoo about free software that you can trust.  Certainly we're all suspicious of installing anything on our computers labeled "free," especially when malware can install itself from an infected website.  But these programs are legit.  I myself use Avast! free anti-virus software.

Here's the webpage with reviews of a free MS Office clone, a free version of MS OneNote, and free data storage.

More free software...

Picasa -- Google's free digital photo organizer.  I use it at work to organize thousands of photos from five radio stations.  Sort by keyword, edit, batch rename and export into a smaller file size.  Get it here.

Audacity -- A pretty good multi-track audio editor that's totally free.  You'll have to download an accessory pack to encode into MP3.  It, too, is free.  http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
