There are probably thousands if not tens of thousands of useful or even more fantastically useful software packages on the internet. I just haven’t had a chance to experience them all – yet. This is a non-comprehensive list of packages that i have happened to run across and had the time to document here.
The link is provided to help people get the actual software from the source. I cannot count the number of times that I have downloaded something and accidentally inherited a new task bar for my browser.
