    Here are a couple of great freebies, :D, and they also don't need Java or .Net like OpenOffice or LibreOffice which are really big downloads too!

    Go to Kim Komando. Her website is komando.com, just click on downloads. The choices are all yours for the asking (Security, Utilities, General, Office, Browsers, Etc.) Everything on the site is freeware. Enjoy!
