Frugal Frog's Money Saving Ideas

Here's some software that's better than some others -- and they're FREE!

Yep, there are programs available that work as well as the commercial products, but don't cost an arm and a leg.  You don't even have to kiss a frog (or that warty Mr. Gates).  We like that!

OpenOffice.org 2.0 is a FREE replacement for Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, etc) that individuals, governments, and corporations around the world have been expecting for the last two years.  Provides complete functionality including word processing, spreadsheet, presentation graphics, drawing and photo editing, database, one-click HTML creation and editing, email, browser, internet newsgroup software, schedule and calendar, clip art, templates and more.  Easy to use and fluidly interoperable with every major office suite, OpenOffice.org 2.0 realises the potential of open source.

I highly recommend AVG for internet security and virus protection.  AVG Free Edition is the well-known anti-virus protection tool. AVG Free is available free-of-charge to home users for the life of the product! Rapid virus database updates are available for the lifetime of the product, thereby providing the high-level of detection capability that millions of users around the world trust to protect their computers. AVG Free is easy-to-use and will not slow your system down (low system resource requirements).
