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

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! ;) -=ck "Programming in a state of EUPHORIA." http://www.cklester.com/euphoria/

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". > > William Heimbigner > icxcnika at hotpop.com > Visit the UBoard - Forceful Signups Removed! - > <a href="http://uboard.proboards32.com">http://uboard.proboards32.com</a> - > Threaded discussion, improved searching, > human moderating, graphical smileys, better formatting abilities (now what > else was there...) > Visit my website: <a > href="http://www.geocities.com/icxcnika123">http://www.geocities.com/icxcnika123</a> > > Thanks, > > Irv > > > >

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 Regards, Juergen

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. Matt Lewis
