Used to use 'freeware' and shareware a lot back when still in business. After 'retiring', got out of that.
My top 3 remaining are Irfanview ( best software ever, for me, which I eventually bought a license since it is such an excellent image handling masterpiece), Calibre (e-books esp. with the can't remember classics library site, like Mises,Sun Tsu and other long expired copywrite/nocopyright works), and an excellent 'debug replacement' that allows binary editing/examination/repair of files called HexEdit.
My top one though is a 'nagware' called DFX, which helps with the loss of hearing by amplifying digital sound and changing the freq spec to be 'better' for 2 or 3 different spectras). That one (free with a 30 minute resettable timeout with pop-up 'buy me') is no longer available - the company has much BIGGER and complex audio-adjusters now, but DFX is simple.
I assume Gnu is still up and running. Those folks get a big THANK YOU from me - excellent site and I like and agree with the gnulicence.
Got out of the habit of looking for 'new software' - needs being met with what I have. Older I get, find that 'needs' are getting fewer and fewer. I do miss Solaris (Unix, Sun Microsystems), and found Linux too 'variable', too 'customizable', required too much maintenance and setup each time. There really is something to be said for the 'no changes, no customization needed' install methods. Ie. plug and chug. Complexity is no longer my forte. Keep the bells and whistles down - they have become a pita.
However, a good software site is always welcomed, So thanks.
Ah, library: http://www.gutenberg.org lotsa good titles.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good ...
