So you’ve scrapped and pinched and finally saved enough money to get that brand new shiny computer, except you couldn’t afford the added expense of software.Why waste your money? If you have access to the internet you can get just about any software that you may need for free.
Tom Merritt from CNET has a great list free software that can be downloaded from online sources.
Here is a list of the sites mentioned in the video:
- OpenOffice.org – Essentially a free completely portable office suite.
- Audacity.sourceforge.net – Audio Editor and Recorder
- Mediacoder.sourceforge.net – A Universal Audio/Video Transcoder
- Notepad2.com – Media Editor
- TurboCash.net – Accounting Software
- Blender.org – 3D Modeling/Content Creation Suite
- GAIM – Pidgin.im – Instant Messaging
- VLC – Videolan.org/vlc/ – Media Player
- Codenautics.com/zombies – Game
For more sites like these, check out CNET at download.com or sourceforge.net for open source software. Remember, they’re all FREE!

Thanks a lot i have downloaded some of the software mentioned in the post above.
You’re welcome. I’m glad I was able to help.
