[Bradford] 10 free software applications you should try...

[Wayne Hanley]

Hey,

For my contribution to the top 10's Linux wise would be.

   1. Geany
   2. Gnome-Do
   3. Google Chrome / Chromium
   4. Terminator
   5. Guake
   6. Elementary
   7. Acire
   8. Ground control
   9. Inkscape
   10. Mame


I don't really use Windows these days so some of these might now be defunct
but when I did I used to use

   1. foobar2000
   2. 7zip
   3. truecrypt
   4. cygwin
   5. firefox
   6. notepad++
   7. mame

Not ten I know but that's all I remember I'm afraid it's been a very long
time since I've used windows for anything other than testing Sorry.

Cheers
Wayne
