Hey guys....
Well, I recently bought that 160GB seagate barracuda hard drive for $20 after MIR that was shown on the main page last week, and i decided i wanted to fill it up hehe...
Basically, I wanted to know if any of you guys have any useful programs you regularly use? List any program you use which is really useful, a bit useful, or even useless (just becasue i want to fill up the space =D ). Games dont count , i have enough of those
I guess i should share some programs i have which are cool:
Mozilla Firefox: I love this web browser. It is so much better than internet explorer, and its tab features are amazing. There are so many addons which enhance its options, it is utterly amazing. Its free, so give it a try.
Mozilla Sunbird: Basically, its a calendar/organizer thing, but i like it quite a bit. I try to be organized and this does help me, so for all you nonprocrastinators, and the obsessively compulsive, heres a program that could help you out a bit.
Xfire: Basically, this is a chatting program for gamers, which shows which games your friends are playing, and it lets you communicate to your friends during the game, without minimization. It shows your friend's server IP, which is useful for games like Counter Strike.
Alzip: A free program (which i think was originally korean, but now its in english) which is like Winzip, only better (somehow)
Aol Instant Messenger: Dont even ask me what this porgram is, I hope you guys know....
NASA world wind: Awesome 3D program of the world, and it has like 99% of the cities/towns of the world in it. It has everything and is a great time passer and is totally awesome. It has longitude, latitude, and all this stuff, and you can zoom in, zoom out....really good time passer.
Audacity: Another cool program used to make remixes of songs and stuff. Has many great features like fade in, fade out, and stuff like that. If you like making remixes, this is the best program i know of.
Monkey's Audio: A program which compresses .WAV files. However, unlike MP3 files, the quality does not change or get worse.
Google Desktop Search This nifty (god im starting to sound like carlton from the fresh prince of bel air, haha) little program was created by the greatest bestest company on earth, and it stores stuff about you. I basically use it to store chats between my friends and I, so i can refer back to it later. It also stores web pages, which is cool. Oh ya, it also searches files on your computer.
Google Toolbar This cool toolbar lets you search anything on google, no matter what page you are on, and it also has a popup blocker. Just get it because its really useful and saves time.
LASTLY:
Skype This program lets you talk to people around the world that have this same program for FREE. My friend uses it to talk to his cousins in Ohio and Malaysia (and hes in NJ), and the voice is clear. You can also call telephones for a cheaper than normal price. Its a great program to keep in touch with relatives and friends.
Wow, thats all of it. You guys could just give me a list of the program, and like a 2 word description of it instead of what i did, haha.
Ooh, i forgot to mention that all these programs are free...i only specified that some are free
