FREE & GOOD

In life, a lot of good things are free. But many people just do not utilize it. Below is some recommend software: 

IrfranView: It does all the function I required for imaging (resizing, editing, capturing, etc). It is free and the application is very stable. http://www.irfanview.com/

AVG: Free Anti-Virus. Previously my anti-virus will have conflict, slow down the computer system, take up lots of memory. Comparing to my paid anti-virus, this free application gives me no problem. http://free.avg.com/ 

OpenOffice: I have not used this before. But whenever people ask me for Microsoft office, I would recommend this as an alternative if cost is a concerns. No complaints so far from people who took up my recommendation. http://www.openoffice.org/ 

If to compared with “Paid” software and “Free” software, of course free ones will not have as much function as the paid ones. But in most cases for normal home user, free software is good enough.

Ask yourself, out of the 100% of MS EXCEL features, how many percent you have been using it often?
