Nothing Is Much Better Than The Word.....FREE!

Seeing the word "Free" attached to something always catches my eye, I must confess. But I've also been around the block enough to know that the promise of getting something for nothing rarely turns out as, well, price-less as the word "free" tempts one into believing.

Still, the allure of the label "free" continues to lure us in.

In the world of computers programs and utilities, there are many talented and generous-minded creative minds out there creating handy things we can use on our computers. They often are in the freeware/shareware slice of the online world out there.

I've come across a site that has a range of free and not-too-expensive support sites. The main page features a listing of the 46 Best-ever Freeware Utilities. In addition to that you'll find links to handy shareware (programs that are not free but often inexpensive) and sites where you can get answers to support questions.

I want to explore the site more thoroughly, but, like I said, that word FREE gets my attention every time.
