Something For Nothing - Free Software Every Day

By Dobin & Jenks

Here at The Law Planet, we believe that profits increase by increasing revenues or decreasing expenses. If there is a suitable freeware or shareware program we can use to accomplish a task, then we use it. We just discovered GiveAwayOfTheDay. This website has a free software program every day. But you must download the software and install it on its given day.

Recently we downloaded a program called Evernote, which reminded me of an old DOS program called Sidekick. You take bits and pieces of information and file it using Evernote's system. We'll see how this works.

While we use WordPerfect as our main word processor, I also have a copy of OpenOffice on my computer for heavily formatted Word documents that open funny in WP. I have also used Google Documents, which my son swears by, and not at.

We have not installed Linux on any machine but with what I've been reading about Vista, that may be our next step if MS doesn't get its act together.

That's the penurious view from The Law Planet - Jupiter, Florida
