Happy New Year!

In many case, open source and freeware is to be preferred to buying costy applications, where you pay for dozens of features which will eat up your resources and which you never will probably use. A collection of small freeware allows for faster working, and very often you get good support in problems. There are very good alternatives to commercial software. Most of these finds I have either tested or use myself. And, of course, these links are perfectly safe and trustworthy, because they all have been approved by the Authorities of Deppville (i.e. Commander Portsmith)
