Hi all
This note is a pointer to a wonderful free website - well 2 in fact
I am a subscriber to a couple of PC magazines
They are an excellent source of entertainment and computer knowledge
I would recommend PC User for most people and PC Authority once you have a little miles under your tires so to speak
One of the benefits of the magazines is the free CDs attached
They often contain loads of programs and downloads for nothing
This is especially handy when you are on dial-up
For example there's antivirus updates and drivers for graphic cards and so on
They often have commercial programs provided for free
They tend to be the outdated version and encourage you to try it and pay to upgrade to the newest one
Sometimes though you get quite good programs for nothing extra
Anyway, this month they included on the CD 100 free ebooks
That's right - 100 books
They all come for the Project Guttenberg site (And there is an Australian one too)
