I once used Norton Ghost B.S., "Before Symantec" to preserve a lot of

I've legally obtained free from Giveaway of the Day. AOMEI, Ashampoo,
EaseUS, Recovery Mechanic, Lazesoft, MunSoft, Ocster, Paragon and many
more. The site gives away a different paid software application or
suites every day and the apps are from different developers. I've had a
lot of fun getting very useful software from them that I can't afford to
buy. ^_^

My only problem with them is that the download period is only one day.
I don't always have on-demand access to broadband. And you have to
install it within some short period. I discovered that when I got some
apps but waited until I had free play time to install them. I suppose
they can be cracked, but I've never got around to trying.


I have a 12/1.5mb cable Internet service and I may kick it up higher. I
do a lot of VoIP and watch a lot of streaming videos. I also upload a
lot of documents and pictures of the work me and JH do for several
national service organizations that use independent contractors. Of
course there are the software apps I play with and torrent downloads are
lightning fast on my system. I downloaded an ISO image of 600+mb
in under 4 minutes via the BitLord torrent software. Oh my God, I do
recall the unbelievably long download times on dial-up back in the 90's. ^_^
