Still some good sites on the WWW

Snapfiles, formerly known as Webattack (the button towards the bottom of the link list still says Webattack), has revamped their page and made it easy to read and navigate. Here you will find a plethora of freeware and shareware. They offer many utilities to make living with your personal confuser easier. Many web authoring tools, networking programs and utilities, security stuff and so forth. This is a very well organized site that's easy to read and very fast! I saw no popups and they did not whine for me to register and login. This is a great example of well done work with only banner ads. I hope they continue successfully with this approach.

On the other hand I've been researching DVD burning software with hopes that my next major purchase will be a DVD+R-R unit. I did several searches and won't link to these sites because Burnworld has annoying popups, splash screens, etc. and burn4free actually costs $19.95! Misleading? Duh! They try to justify with the free trial thangy, but they won't get my business because of the blatant deception.

Recently downloaded and tried eMule. Don't bother. If someone knows a way to connect and has had success using this program please let me know. Great idea, lotta press, but no delivery.

Watched the Address last night. Go George W.!!! Everyone have a casual day.
