Still Awesome After All These Years: Eight Excellent Free Downloads
Wine gets better with age. Men get more distinguished-looking.
And some programs are like perennials, returning each year with
fresh blooms and stronger stems. Indeed, think of some of the
world's best productivity tools and system utilities, and I'll
wager that some were "planted" at least five years ago--decades
in computer years. Take a look at eight of these blossoming apps,
all of which are more awesome than ever, and all of which are,
amazingly, free.
WinPatrol | Free
Kill off unwanted background programs like worms, adware, and
spyware.
