Free! Free! Free!

Just to prove that the best things in life are free... here are some of my favourite Free Softwares.
 Use OpenOffice.org
It's an excellent alternative for the Microsoft Office suite and Version 2.xx has really shown improvement interms of speed and features.
The Suite contains:
Writer – Equivalent of MS Word
Calc – Equivalent of MS Excel
Impress – Equivalent of MS Powerpoint
Draw – Illustration tool
Base – Equivalent of MS Access
Math – Something to do with equations, my pea brain cannot figure it out!

Google Earth
I'm sure all of you have heard about it..It's a map of the earth :)

Google SketchUp
It's a free to use 3D modelling software. More info here

Audacity
Its an open source software useful for audio editing and recording. You will have to download the LAME encoder separately if you want to export files to MP3 though.

VideoLAN - VLC media player
Amazing Media Player which supports a wide range of Video and Audio formats.
