Pretty crucial
stuff for surfing!!! Also pretty important if you're doing a
website project for ICT3 and need to test your site in different
browsers.
|
 |
Mozilla
Firefox |
Firefox 1.5 has an
intuitive interface and blocks viruses, spyware, and popup ads.
It delivers Web pages faster than ever. It’s easy to install and
import your favorites. (Their words not mine!)
|
 |
Opera |
It's now
ad-free!!! Opera is allegedly "The fastest browser on earth"
(they've clearly not seen FatMax *browsing* at the pizza sales!)
It's got
lots of nice features like an E-mail program, RSS Newsfeeds and
IRC chat.
|
 |
Maxthon |
Tabbed browser based on IE
which has a highly customisable interface. All the usual stuff
you'd expect from a browser - pop-up blocking etc. PLUS mouse
kung-fu! Don't ask.

7-zip |
A bit like
Winzip but free and slightly better (i.e better compression). Supports ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, GZIP,
BZIP2, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB formats.
|
 |
Winzip |
| Just in case you like the UI!
It's NOT free although AFAIK it runs forever |

|

OpenOffice.org |
Free office

download at 60+MB. Buy a CD for a small charge from a
community
distributor if you have no/limited Internet access
|
 |
Acrobat |
Adobe Acrobat
reader. You need it to read a lot of stuff (everything actually!) from AQA. It's a bit of a fat
download so mebbee you're better off looking for it on a
magazine cover?
|
 |
Office Viewers |
Free viewers for
Word, PowerPoint etc. from Microsoft. To be honest you'd be much
better off downloading OpenOffice.org from the link above!
