Income Tax Time.
Submitted by dan.hunt on February 15, 2005 - 5:51am.For some people, income tax's and how they are prepared are a sensitive subject. One can discuss religion and politics with most people without the emotion that enters into debate about how and who should prepare one's income tax.
Keep the computer, toss all that software. Gnu/Linux is easy now.
Submitted by dan.hunt on February 14, 2005 - 6:23pm.Well it has happened, GNU/Linux software is ready if you want to kick the "Microsoft Windows" habit. Yes, you can replace all that software with something else. Understand this, I am speaking about a total change in all your programs. You can keep Microsoft Windows around if you can't quit cold turkey, but once you switch you may enjoy life without Windows. Imagine, computers without any Microsoft Windows computer virus, or 'Internet Explorer's Active X' spyware.
One catch, all this software is Free. Free like snowballs in Saskatchewan in Febuary. Installation? Free. Support? Free. Sure you could hire someone to do this for you but many will not accept any more than a beer for helping people switch.

Google's gmail is wonderful, and yours for the asking.
Submitted by dan.hunt on February 14, 2005 - 3:06am.If you ever wanted to get one last email account that will persist, perhaps gmail.com is it. Hotmail accounts, yahoo accounts, and even mailandnews.com accounts may come and go, but no one before has ever given away free email accounts with 1000 MB of storage.
Google describes gmail here. With a 1000 MB of storage you could email one MB of photo's to yourself for over two and one half years. The power of the Google search engine on your messages is good too. Remember that your loving brother sent you the details of his new electric drill? Search your email messages for drill and your reading that message again. If you are convinced send me a message now asking for a gmail invitation and I will send you one. Dan.R.Hunt@Gmail.com
Free Software for Microsoft Windows Computers
Submitted by dan.hunt on November 8, 2004 - 6:19am.Available on the internet is a collection of some of the best software that money cannot buy.
Yes that is right, you cannot buy this stuff because like the air you breath and the words you use to communicate this software is free.
If you are using Microsoft Windows your essential collection of best quality software should include: Mozilla a replacement for Microsoft Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, OpenOffice.org a replacement for Microsoft Office, 7-Zip a free Zip compression utility, and the PDFCreator a replacement for Adobe Acrobat. All of these programs and some other great software packages are available on one easy to use cd.
