Tim's Software Sources

Anyone who BUYS software in a box,
without having first downloaded and tried it free for at least 30 days,
is nuts! I've tried several programs, and only the best
are worth keeping and paying $$ for. Many are excellent and completely
free!
Almost every commercial software program is available as a free download over the Internet. Many are Freeware, some are Adware(advertising makes them free), most are shareware (try for 30 days, then pay on the honor system [or delete]). Some of these can rival (or even surpass) some of the most expensive commercial software available. (The same software purchased from a store is usually nunreturnable after being opened). Almost all of them will install easily with just a few mouse-clicks. What you buy in the store may easily be a couple versions old, but the stuff you download will always be the latest version. A dozen or so were released today! All of these are ratedby incredibly rigid standards! Here is a list of some terrific collections of software you may visit and download stuff from free of charge.
