I may have an opportunity to set up a number of recycled pc's for
local students who need, but can't afford, a computer.
I thought I might include a CD with useful stuff. Firefox, of course, to
replace the evil IE, and a good, safe e-mail client instead of OE, and
a free firewall.
Anyone have suggestions for other things, including a list of
Euphoria DOS and Windows stuff which might be useful?
Thanks,
Irv

like me probly going to be too drunk most of the time to use it / care
anyway.

For email, Thunderbird (Mozilla).
I'd also suggest OpenOffice. It's great and has everything anybody
would need in an office suite. (Did I mention it's free?) :)
Oh, and EuGTK! ;)

that in mind

Using a specialized web browser I discovered the site uses code
similar to the "Nitrious" super-virus installer; this is reason enough
for me to add that site to my blacklisted sites list.
As of now I will not download any of your programs that use the site
"http://www.downloadcounter.com".

Just some Freeware, that has not been mentioned before:
Office & Design
- ConTEXT (programmers editor): http://www.context.cx/
- Other free editors
Internet & Communication
- Netlaunch: http://www.blackcastlesoft.com/netlaunch/default.asp
- If you choose a mail client such as Mozilla, that doesn't have the
possibility to preview incoming mails on the POP3 server, and then
delete spam directly on the server, I additionally recommend
Magic Mail Monitor: http://mmm3.sourceforge.net/
or
MailWasher: http://www.mailwasher.net/
Multimedia and Games
- Irfanview: http://www.irfanview.com/
- Earth screen saver: http://www.fourmilab.ch
(Click at "Windows utilities" in the menu --
there is more cool stuff on that site.)
- Rubik's Cube: http://www.javaonthebrain.com/java/rubik
Utilities
- Ad-Aware Personal edition: http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
- Easy cleaner: http://personal.inet.fi/business/toniarts/ecleane.htm
- Wizmo: http://www.grc.com/wizmo/wizmo.htm
Some very basic Euphoria libraries:
- EuGTK / Win32Lib / W32Engin / Arwen
- asm2.zip
- 3tables.zip
- bget.zip
- print.zip
- genfunc.zip

known about.

As others have mentioned, you really need Open Office. If it were me,
I'd also stress to them to learn how to use a spreadsheet. That's by
far the most useful application ever created, IMHO.
You might also include NetZero, or some other free internet service.
