FoxIt Reader is good, but I’ve found Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 to be about the same speed.

Nice list… helpful.

Why do you think the Gimp is horrible? I’m actually blown away by what it allows a user to do… for FREE! I can see where a person who has used Photoshop for several years would prefer to pay for it and keep using it… but the Gimp has been perfect for me and many of my associates. I’m not saying it is better than Photoshop… but is more than adequate for most casual needs.

Thank you Jordon!

I have a newer laptop without many programs on it, and it's hard to know which ones are worth downloading. It's great to get some advice from someone whose familiar with the programs.

This is incredibly helpful.
