Great Resource

Bob gives information on free software that will perform the tasks of very expensive major name software, like Photoshop, Word, and Norton. Only wish there were more listings for Mac users.

Easy read but packed with solid information

This book contained valuable info about free software that I had no idea even existed. Great job by the author for putting this together.

This list includes many free open-source applications. Most of the software is fairly well known, but in most cases there are alternatives to try.
