I spend too much time on the internet just trying to find new cool software that is fun/unique/ high tech/something to mess with.

So I figured if I share some and everybody else shares some that are better then what I shared then I will have some software to mess with, without all the reading to find it.

And let me say that people who respond to this thread just to make me feel stupid for posting this should just not post anything.

I'm just trying to network with people at the [H] that know alot more about software around the net then I do


Okay, software that I like.

Software that costs money

The software can be anything that you like and use all the time.
It can be free or cost money, but it's got to be real good if it costs money.

I thought Gaim 1.5 was really crap, but Gaim 2.0+ is FANTASTIC. Best AIM alternative out there. Better than AIM itself :)

I like musikCube for music.

Xchat 2 as a free Windows IRC client.

TUGZip as a great free archiving tool that can archive in MANY formats.

DC++ for filesharing.

Daemon Tools.

Mozilla Thunderbird - (duh) Email program by the makers of Firefox.
