We love it, we hate it, but we all use software

Microsoft Office Professional 2007 FULL VERSION 

I don't know why Microsoft had to change the interface with Office 2007, but there are some added features that make the new software well worth getting to know.

My Favorite Image Manipulation Software 

What do you think? Vote on your favorite

You often need more than one piece of software for image manipulation. I have PSP X2. If you only have one program for image manipulation, this would be it. It doesn't do everything that Photoshop does, but it does enough, especially considering the huge difference in price.

I also have Corel Painter and it's addictive!

AIM - Instant Messenging 

AIM
The kids are doing it, my senior students are doing it . . . now you should do it! It's an easy and free way to have a real time conversation, whether they're across town or across the world.

My Favorite Anti-Virus Software 

Anti-virus software is a must-have. A virus infection on your computer can open your data to hackers, cost you time and lost data, and lead to a LOT of aggravation!

PC VS MAC 

It's an age-old argument, but it's still fun!

Which computer system do you like best?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

PC

I never used MAC, but who knows, maybe one day...

RolandTumble says:

PC, through & through. The Mac is a fine machine, but I'm so conditioned to PC shortcuts that I have a hard time adapting.

MAC
