PUN OF THE DAY

The Captain firmly believes that software should be free. Lots of it is, and it's often better than payware. I no longer list download links for Windows software, since I cannot verify their safety. The Linux Operating System, however, is free to download, and so is software that runs on it. Search, and you will find it. I use it, and recommend it.
