| 137278 | 2003-04-20 06:31:00 | Hmmm my list would include (in no particular order): "Nortons SystemsWorks (Professional) 2003" this includes Nortons Antivirus and my must-have Ghost program. "Nortons Personal Firewall 2003" this program is great, although if I didn't have it I would have this firewall instead: "Agnitums Outpost" as it is free and easy to use. "Ad-aware 6"obviously to clean out any nasties lurking. "Trillian"Instant messaging program, 4 'n' 1 so to speak. "Infraview"for graphic viewing and editing. "FTP Commander 5.90"free FTP program, very easy to use. Found here (www.internet-soft.com) "OpenOffice 1.0.2"free office software programs that is generally compatible with Microsoft Office documents. "Adobe Acrobat reader" a must have. Browsers: "Opera" it is so versatile and multi-functional. "CrazyBrowser" another free tabbed browser, very nice but unfortunately cannot live on my system anymore without NAV taking exception to it. I think that is all :-) |

| 137284 | 2003-04-20 07:42:00 | I used to have a set amount of things that I install after a reinstall. Now I just work on a [b]When I need it[/url] basis. So I don't install Office until I actually have a need for it. Most common apps though would be: Mozilla/Phoenix - email, web, etc - free PowerArchiver - compression program (zip, rar, etc) - pay if you want to get rid of the dialog box FlashGet - downloading program - installed as shareware, just click a button on load Trillian - instant messaging, ICQ/MSN/IRC/AOL/Y! all in one - free Norton AntiVirus (or AVG(free)) Kerio - firewall - free Most immediate thing after an install would be OS updates a whole host of reghacks. |

| 137285 | 2003-04-20 07:45:00 | For Sam: "SuSE8"Quite a loverly operating system that i am still discovering the joys of. "KMail" My preffered email client.. tis a little lame with some handling of HTML mail, but many practical features. "Konqueror" A web browser. "Gaim" A multi function Instant messaging program. Works with ICQ, Yahoo messaging etc. "gftp" My ftp client. "pure-ftpd" My ftp server. "GIMP" Graphic Image Manipulation Program. (I think thats what it stands for) For Vanessa: "Win 98"The last windows operating system i will ever get for myself. "Nero" Its a damn fine CD buner program! "Photoshop" An even flasher graphics program than GIMP. "ICQ" Free text messaging, IM too .Clueless |

| 137286 | 2003-04-20 07:58:00 | In an order of no importance .... ~ Word 97 - expensive, complicated, more a DTP program than a text editor ~ Excel 97 - expensive, but the best flat file database around without having to use a database (u could hook one up though) ~ Access 97 - expensive, complicated, not for the feint hearted ~ Visual Studio .NET - cheap, don't know enough about it - yet - maybe one day I will ~ Notepad - great for creating websites ~ Norton WinDoctor/Antivirus - overpriced, overrated, but these two are gems. Easy to extend the 1 year warranty with each OS format/reinstall ~ Tiny Personal Firewall - free, better if you take the time to configure it ~ Mozilla - free, underated, way better than IE ~ PhotoImpact - free, easy intro to DTP applications ~ Nero - cheap, easy to use, reliable ~ ACDSee - cheap, efficient ~ Fast DNS - free, interesting results ~ RegCleaner - free ~ SpyBot - free, takes to much HD space though ~ Acrobat Reader - free, although this firm should release a Word plug in for free |
