| EVERYBODY LOVES FREEWARE! If there is one consistent and invariable truth I have learned since starting this Web site in July 1999, this is it: Everybody loves freeware! And I don’t think it’s just because it’s free (though that doesn’t hurt a thing, either). Consider also that, outside of the very few giant commercial applications that more or less everyone needs and has, freeware is usually just about the best software you can find to make your computing fun and to tackle special tasks. Freeware writers make some of the coolest software that there is — and people love’m for it! We have a reputation around here for recommending only the very best. On My Favorite Freeware, I only list programs I personally use and heartily recommend (see list at left). However, tastes and opinions vary, so site visitors are generous with their own recommendations of what they think you will like. Through the links below, this AumHa Freeware Portal gives you access to my favorites, their favorites, and a lot more. Enjoy! |
