GAIM INSTANT MESSENGER      With this messenger you can log into your AOL screen name, msn messenger screen name, and many other instant messengers from one program!!! AIM INSTANT MESSENGER   AIM stands for Aol Instant Messenger.  With this you can make your own screen name and talk with friends, family, and people.  Really nice features also :} MSN MESSENGER   THIS MESSENGER IS BETTER THAN AIM!!!  It has the same features as AIM, but it still has more.  You can customise your screen name (display name) anytime you want to without registering and all that other crap.  GET THIS!!!! FIREFOX WEB BROWSER   SCREW THE INTERNET EXPLOERER GET FIREFOX!!!  FIREFOX is a safer web browser for your computer.  Pages load faster in Firefox also.  I use firefox all the time.  IE (internet explorer) always freezes my computer.  That's why get Firefox  ARES P2P SOFTWARE   ARES IS THE BEST P2P PROGRAM!!!  If you have Kazaa switch to ARES.  Ares has more files and offers faster download speed.  Trust me I used to have Kazaa until my friend told me about Ares.  FLASH MX   Want to make your own flash videos, like they do at http://albinoblacksheep.com and http://flashplayer.com.  Well now you can.  You can download a 30 day trial to test it out and stuff.  Have fun :} Windows Media Player   One of the best media players out there.  Great for watching videos, dvds, music, and more.  Also supports many file types.   QUICK TIME MEDIA PLAYER   Well...  I guess it's ok....  I barley use it...  It's pretty sucky compared to Windows Media Player.  Only get it if you have .mov or .qt files you want to watch.  Sadly windows media player can't play .mov or .qt :{ WINAMP MEDIA PLAYER   Winamp media player is mostly the same thing as Windows Media Player, but it has some more features.  Also gives you a wide variety of skins.  JUST DOWNLOAD IT :}!!!! FLASH FXP   Made a site on your pc that you want to upload to a web host.  Have some stuff on your pc that you need to upload or vice versa.  Well thats why they have Flash FXP.  I really don't know to much about the features, but I have the program and I use it sometimes.  So have fun :} Actual Drawing   Actual Drawing is a program for making websites on your computer.  It's pretty goood.  I attempted at making a website with it, but that when I didn't know about paying for webspace lol.  That's why I went with tripod.  (Goes good with Flash FXP +_+) HALO COMBAT EVOLVED (PC)   THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ONLINE GAMES.  I can't get you the full version, but you can download the trial.  Halo fans that have the Xbox version need to download the trial or buy the full game.  I have the full game, so trust me.  IT'S AWSOME!!! HALO CUSTOM EDITION (PC)   Warning: If you haven't bought the full version of Halo Combat Evolved for your pc, then you won't be able to play this. It's just like Halo Combat Evolved, but it focuses more on the Online Muliplayer.  You're able to put customized maps into it and challenge your friends on them online.  IT'S REALLY KEWL SO GET IT!!!
