Links
These are a few links which you hopefully will
find to be both of high quality and useful.
Free stuff.
There is lots of free software on the web. Here are 2 compact sites of
good quality stuff.
Henks
free ware page Small quick programs.
I use his zip utility, and his disktective to
free up space on my tiny hard drive.
The zip can zip whole folders and bring them
back easily.
I very quickly found unexpected and unneeded
help and temporary files with the disktective. It shows the true size of
folders including hidden files and including the size of sub folders. Then
it was simple to delete or zip. They are a joy to use.
Think there are
only 3 operating systems? Windows, Apple OS, linux. Henk has a list
and short description of other ones. It is surprisingly long (but interesting!).
It seems to me that windows is king only because it has a nice graphical
interface and is easy to use and and and of course is ruthlessly promoted.
This next site is worth it for the Evil
Empire comments alone. It contains a good
virus killer
F PROT. Worked good for me!.
Linux may well be the next
great thing. Support is gathering behind it from the big hardware companies
and sun corel and others in the software industry. It dosn't match microsoft
software for ease of use just yet but development is incredibly fast. It
still seems to be software for geeks but its advantages are so many that
Microsoft's competitors and ally's! and enemies seem to have united behind
it to push it to the top of the pile.
The
best linux site for the layman It describes developments in the
software world. Try also the halloween documents. I find it fascinating.
SYMBIAN
is developing a relatively new OS for cell phones, smart phones, etc.,
optimized
for power consumption and has the backing
of the likes of NOKIA, ERICSON and MOTOROLA. This is an area where microsoft
are fighting for position with windows ce (which eats up batterys). SYMBIAN
software is a joint effort with software developers from the backing companies
also having a major input.
LINKS
