Web Designer's FREElance Toolbox for Windows This article by Brian Reindel from the Digital Web Magazine gives an informative review of many useful tools that are available as freeware. "The following is a list of unfettered freeware that I have personally reviewed. Time-tested and designer/developer approved, these programs contain no adware and are built on a solid foundation, including a supportive community of users." I use some of the tools, such as Skype and Audacity, but others such as AVG Anti-Virus Software, 7Zip, Leech FTP, and CDBurner XP Pro3, were new to me. Links to all the software download sites are included; the author also provides links to major archiving sites for freeware. (Thanks to elearningpost for this reference.) ____JH 9:39:42 AM    COMMENT []
