When you get a new computer, does ITS install all of the necessary
software that you had on your old computer? I've made a list of the
"must have" freeware that you may want to download (or update) on your
computer. Free or beta versions are available for all of these
software. If you have additional suggestions, please reply to the
listserv. Some of these I use myself, the rest I found on the
internet. Thank you.
