My Best Free Software Downlods

Here a few websites that offer great free software downloads that you might or might not already know but thought I would share them as they really have made using the Internet so much better and more fun for me to use.

I feel they are the exception to the rule that nothing good comes for free.

SKYPE

http://www.skype.com/
Allows you to connect with other users online to make free telephone calls.

with this you can make free voice and video calls to anyone with a PC and there are also super cheap and sometimes free calls to home phones.

I use skype all the time and because of it I don't feel the need to have a Landline anymore which saves me a lot of money each month and skype has helped me to stay in contact with my friends and family so thank you skype.

ARES

http://aresgalaxy.sourceforge.net/

Ares is a free file sharing program that enables users to share and Download any digital file including images, audio, video, software, documents, etc.
Just when I was starting to lose hope in file sharing programs I found Ares, it's easy to use its fast and it works.

IZarc

http://www.izarc.org/

IZArc is the ultimate freeware archive (zip) utility.

Just a small little bit of software but invaluable, when they say it's the ultimate freeware archive utility there not lying in my option its 10 times better then winzip easy to use and completely free.

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition

http://free.grisoft.com/doc/

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition protects your computer from viruses and malicious programs it's easy to use and will not slow your system down to much like some viruses scanners do.

there are some people that say it's detection is not good enough but it has saved me from quite a few nasty viruses and it's free.

If you have your own favorite free software that you would like to let me know about that would be great.

Feeling a little destructive?

If there is a website that gets on your nerves or if you get a little board surfing the web http://www.netdisaster.com/ is a website that will help you cause a little or a lot of destruction to your chosen webpage,
you can shoot holes in a webpage or if you prefer you can can destroy the webpage with a chainsaw or a Dinosaur and a lot more
if your feeling nasty you can get things to poo or wee on your site, like this cow below having a plop on my other blog http://www.thelureoftheunknown.blogspot.com/
it's really quite fun and simple to do just go to there site http://www.netdisaster.com/ and enter the url of a page that you have targeted for disaster and don't worry the damage isn't permanent so have a bit of fun destroying some webpages.

Internet time machine-lets go back in time.......

Just found a really interesting website http://www.archive.org/web/web.php (Wayback Machine) that has the archives of really old web pages from a time when the internet was still in its infancy depending on the web page they seem to have records starting back from 1996 a time when most of us did not have or could not afford the Internet I was surprised and intersted to see that Blogger really has been around for a very long time there first Blogger web page logged in the archive is from the 12Th of Oct 1999

it's great to see how from humble beginnings web pages can grow, The good thing it's not just pictures a lot of the links still work on the pages so you can look at some really old Blogs from some of the first Bloggers out there, or maybe you have a favorite website and you want to see what it was like years ago, its interesting to look at sites like ebay and see how they have grown go there and take a look.
