IT'S NOT COSTLY to use updated and popular computer software. Some software developers make their products available on the Internet for free, which is why they are called freeware.
Though they are free, they are copyrighted to avoid users incorporating new programming to develop their own software. Users should carefully check the licence agreement before downloading.
Some software developers also provide shareware for users to download. Shareware is distributed free at first but users will have to pay later.
Many Web sites have been developed for Internet users to download freeware and shareware. Check out the following sites.
WebAttack.com (www. webattack.com) is the world's largest freeware and shareware Web site, with more than 4,300 titles spanning a wide range of categories.
Many people use the ICQ chat room for online communication. However, there are other instant message software like Trillian, Sonork Messaging System, MaxxIM and MaxxChat. You can download them at Instant Messaging of Communication on the site.
