Here's my favorite text editor at the moment: Ian D. Mead's UltraEdit. | ||
 |
This is the email program I'm using: Courier Email. I like it because it did the best job of downloading the email header list only (I get hundreds of UNIX emails per day,) and keeping the inbox list in synch with my UNIX POP server even when I used several different email clients from different locations. GREAT NEWS: Rose City Software has picked up support for this product from the previous version called Calypso by MCS. They released the first new version in two years! | ||

|
My favorite print utility: Peter Lerup's PrintFile Great for printing PostScript or PCL files directly to your printer, or formatting text files to print pretty. |

Excellent Calendar Program: Taskplus. The free version is full featured and the ads are very unobtrusive. |

|
Free Anti-Virus Software: AVG AntiVirus I got sick of the pop-up ads from McAfee and of paying Norton every year. |

My favorite email newsletter, the Langa List. Fred Langa publishes refreshingly honest info and advice about PC's, operating systems and software. The standard version is free (that's what I get,) and there's a Plus edition for paid subscribers. | ||
 |
My favorite online HTML reference guide: Brian Wilson's Index DOT Html. Click on the Element Index link for the HTML tag reference pages. Also a great reference for Cascading Style Sheets and other web authoring info. | ||
|
Over 14,000 Calculators On-Line. Part of Jim Martindale's "The Reference Desk," a large collection of links to useful, often fascinating, and fun information covering technical, scientific, international, educational, and social topics of all kinds. | ||

Essential software for every web browser:
Adobe Acrobat Reader Note: the download is between 8.8 amd 10 meg. Crikey! |

The Classic Zip Utility: WinZip | ||

A fun and interesting collection of Javascript doodles: Kurt Grigg's DHTML Javascript. This is where I got the Mouse Comet effect (click to start it spinning again.) His scripts are good, especially with geometry and trigonometry. He also has a Java Applets site that includes some free games and utilities. |
