Come on Bob. I don't think you're even trying when it comes to
the keep up with the number of freeware progs installed. :-)
I reckon at least half my 600 or so programs are freeware. I
asked about this here last summer but no one seemed much
interested. http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-2090023.php
And I can't possibly be the heaviest user/installer of freeware
compared to some of the heavy hitters here.
However, I would be interested to know which $$$ware text editor
or file manager beats the large range of freeware ones. And maybe
even even the reg editor as Resplendence has a truly nice freeware
one. Maybe your needs are a bit idiosyncratic.
