Recently, I’ve been fiddling with the site to get it to display somewhat as it should in Internet Explorer. In the past I’ve said screw that, if Internet Explorer can’t be standards compliant, I’m not going to bother. But I had a bit of free time on my hands and thought I have a go at it. And it was maddening. So I’m here once again in my attempt to push Firefox on the masses… Along with some other software you’ll probably enjoy. The best part is, it’s all free!
- Mozilla Firefox If you’re on a Winblows PC, Firefox is the best internet experience you can get… Featuring support for CSS and CSS2, along with AJAX, you can see the web the way it was meant to be seen- the standards compliant way. Still not convinced? How about tabbed browsing? You don’t have to open six windows for six sites! Or dozens of handy plugins? Try it for a week. I guarantee you’ll switch.
- Apple iTunes No computer in today’s multimedia world is complete without iTunes. Apple’s slick interface makes managing and finding your music and podcasts easy, allowing you to search and sort in a plethora of ways. Plus, you get automatically updating Smart Playlists, and convenient conversion, ripping, and burning support. Ditch Windows Media Player, you’ll be glad you did.
That should get you started… Until next time, spread the word, and keep free software alive!
I think that part of the reason why people are not taking advantage of some of these free, and far superior software, is that we as people are getting bombarded with things which claim to be free and thusly assume that a lot of things which claim to be free truly arent.
Heres the REAL DEAL! Mikey is right. Firefox, iTunes, Audacity, and Avast are all better programs than ones you pay for. I have to beat some people over the head to get them to try it. No one ever goes back to the original program they were using either.
I don’t know what to tell you people excpept to GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF BILL GATES ASS long enough to realize that there might be more to computers than microsoft…
Fight the good fight Mike,

I don’t have a vendetta against Mr. Gates or his empire, but if you’re tired of Windows for whatever reason, take it a step further. Use linux :D After a short learning curve that left patches of hair missing from my head, I’ve been Windows free for quite a while now, and I don’t regret the decision at all…. aside from finding a decent FTP app, that is :D
thanks,
