Although I’m quite willing to pay for good software I know that there is a lot of great free and esspecially good open sources projects on the Internet that will do the job just as well.
I recently came accross the site freeapps.co.uk with many applications I’d not come accross before. sourceforge.net is great source of open source software projects.
Thanks for the post.
