Have you used a freeware title recently, or found it long ago but still use it, that you just couldn't be without? One of those downloads that makes you truly appreciate freeware?   I'm not talking about a list of favourite freeware, I'm talking about THE ONE, if you had to decide which one out of them all?? Not so easy now eh?!  :lol:

For me, and I know this is really boring, but it would be between the Opera and Firefox browser, and if pushed I'd say Firefox.   Because I have always had to use a computer and always been on the web for most of my jobs and hobbies and the browser became (and still is) my portal to the world, my lifeline through my career and my source of knowledge.   Firefox has always strived to provide maximum functionality with it's vast array of add-on's and plugins and I have never been let down with it.   Internet Explorer is a distant memory for me to be honest, although I have to use it now and again to check formatting on web pages, etc, but it more or less collects dust on my desktop!.

I can't honestly say much against the other freeware browsers out there as they are all great examples and fit particular needs of particular people, it's just Firefox was most definately my first browser love  :lol:  (YUK!)

I find that the entire range of SSuite Office freeware just blows me away! Even better than OpenOffice for me

Mozilla firefox has got to be my one piece of freeware I couldnt be without - I've only been using it for a year or so and friends used to tell me about it but being an IE baby I never thought I'd see past explorer but the multitude of addons available for firefox and its safety record make it the sensible choice for any computer user!

It's great that OpenOffice and Firefox, etc. are free, but the one freeware application I couldn't do without - or find anything that does what it does as well - is IrfanView, and it's the work of one guy.

IrfanView is a great app, I've used it in the past, but not really had much use for it recently - http://www.freewarebb.com/index.php/files/file/1694-irfanview/
