every time i run my computer into the ground so far that i have to reinstall windows, it takes me forever to remmeber and re-install all the programs i've come to rely on. so i thought i'd start this list to help me keep track of what i need. some are freeware or opensource, and others are ridiculously expensive.
i'm always looking for suggestions for utilities, graphics applications, web development tools, and music production software. especially music software. especially really, really easy music software. feel free to post additions or email me suggestions.
essential programs:
Internet:
firefox
thunderbird
Utilities:
spybot
ad aware
7-zip
Music:
CDex
CoolEdit Pro (discontinued)
audobe audition
itunes
sonic foundry's acid pro (discontinued - now by sony media)
Graphics:
paint shop pro
adobe photoshop
compupic
Word Processing:
openoffice
microsoft office
Video:
dvdshrink
dvd decrypter (discontinued, but still available if you look around)
p2p:
limewire pro
Web Development:
Porta & SimpleViewer, to be used together
Missing from the list:
Adobe Pagemill - I can't find even a pirated copy ANYWHERE
Johnny Castaway screensaver - I can't get it to work on XP, and I think I've since lost my copy of the install files
I'm sure I'm missing even more, I'll have to add them as they come to me
