The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Well, I figured this forum needed a bit of a boost, it seems to be turning into a support forum more then a chat one! Anyway, i'm interested to know what your top 10 appplications are, what applications make your computing life easier/more interesting?
I'll start, just list anything you like, afterall this could turn out to be quite a decent thread for getting "Program reccomendations".
1. Mozilla Firefox - Probably the most advanced web browser ever, fast and easy to use. Excellent!
2. MSN Messenger - I cannot live without this, I have to communicate with people, and this seems the best way to do so.
3. mIRC - For those "file" getting needs (totally legal, yup).....
4. Winamp - This is probably the best multimedia playing app I have seen, it's fast and easy, and very very versatile. Highly reccomended as an alternative to WMP.
5. Nero - Awesome CD Burner, has lots of features.
6. AVG Antivirus - Seeing as I have a Windows system, it's best I keep myself protected, and this beast of a checker does exactly what it says on the tin.
7. Kazaa Lite - Obviously to get music from those budding underground artists....
8. Dev C++ - For my C programming requirements, this program is apt enough.
9. WinRAR - I have to do a lot of copmpression, and this beast of a compresser is excellent for my needs!
10. ExpressPCB - Excellent little Circuit Designer.

I'll have to take a few of yours from you as I totally agree with some of your picks!
Here's mine, not necessarily in any order...
1. Mozilla Firefox - Only recently discovered the wonders of this beast. It is sooo much better than IE you wouldn't believe it! I know I didn't - until I tried it!
2. MSN Messenger - Excellent chat program which has become invaluable at times. I don't really use it much now, but I still keep it for its usefullness.
3. Kazaa Lite - I've never had the amount of problems that everyone else seems to get with this system. I like it.
4. WinRAR - Highly versatile compression program. Essential on any machine.
5. ZoneAlarm - Fantastic firewall program. I've noticed a considerable improvement in PC security since using this.
6. Alcohol - Excellent multi-purpose program. Muchly recommended.
7. Messenger Blocker - There are so many of these available, I just plucked one off Kazaa. Stops those annoying Win XP Spam popups that work outside of your browser. Nice.
8. StyleXP - Really cool program that completely changes your Windows XP look - from desktop to boot screen. Class.
9. AVG/McAfee - Both great antivirus programs. Far better than NAV I reckon.
10. FlashFXP - Top ftp-ing program. Try it!

What does Alcohol do, may I ask?
It's basically just burning software, but you can create ISO's, then run then off a 'virtual CD-Drive' without the need to burn to disc. There's a load of other features I haven't really used, too.
Check it out [URL]http://www.alcohol-software.com[/URL]. I haven't had it that long so couldn't really give you a full run-down on what it can do.

There's a free trial on there, too.
Alcohol 120% - Will rip anything from normal CD's to encryted game CD's.
TopStyle Pro - Best CSS tool on the planet
Photoshop CS - Say no more
mIRC - MSM came a close second, but this is more fun
StyleXP - Better than windowblinds
Studio MX 2004 (Technically 5 appz) - Best investment I ever made
Illustrator CS - Most powerful illustration software there is
eMule - Beats K++ hands down
dBpowerAMP Music Converter - Will convert music in to any audio format imaginable
Mozilla Firefox - Been using this for the last year. Mainly for it's unique set of plugins for site testing.

Christ, I probably don't even use 10 apps regularly! Will give it a go though.
1) Internet Explorer
My window to the world...wide web. Most of the stuff I do on my PC is geared towards being put on here somehow, and IE is reliable and supports all my coding needs.
2) Macromedia Flash MX
After years of ignoring this, I've finally come to value how much this can improve a website, and I'm now making sites completely in Flash thanks to improved connection speeds.
3) Adobe Photoshop 7
The King of image editing tools, you can do more or less anything in this for web design, print, etc. Essential.
4) Notepad
Without this my life would not be complete. Nothing (well, almost nothing) feels better than making a site from scratch, and this is the best way of doing it. I use it for all my coding - HTML, C++, Javascript (in HTML for web tools). More essential to me than a lung.
5) JASC Paint Shop Pro 7/Animation Shop
For the few things that Photoshop can't do, and it's quite a nice little package anyway. Useful for editing and making .AVIs.
6) Winamp
Not essential for anything, but it plays my music well and the plug-ins let me display what's playing on my site - [URL]http://www.pocketmonkey.co.uk[/URL]
7) Acid Pro
Excellent for sequencing music quickly and easily, and then making Mp3s. Use it quite a lot for my audio tech course at Uni.
8) Steinberg Wavelab
Industry standard audio editing tool, very nifty and the effects plug-ins are incredible!
9) Cubase/Cubase SX
Even though this is the "big one" in terms of audio stuff, I hardly use it because it takes far too much effort setting up MIDI lines and other secret, hidden settings.
10) MSN
Ahh, MSN, where would my social life be without you?
Wow, I do use 10 apps regularly!

Winamp - Best music player available, especially v5
XChat - Prefer it to mIRC, dunno why
eMule - Excellent for aquiring large files, if you dont mind waiting
K++ - Better for small files
Photoshop CS - I'm addicted to V-Modding cars [URL]http://www.britleisure.co.uk/coppermine/[/URL]
Macromedia Studio MX - Excellent. Like Fireworks for doing little image things where photoshop is overkill, Dreamweaver is great for webdesign, and Flash is fun to play with
IE - It works. What more could I need?
Nero - Quick, simple, reliable. Perfect CD/DVD burning app
Tag&Rename - Dead easy to use to get nice neatly tagged MP3s

Death to everyone who says Internet Explorer on this thread. This program is single-handedly responsible for 50% of the problems on the internet.
