Free programs

I wanted to try some newer software and ran across this site. I thought I'd post it because it seems to include some of the programs reccomended here.

I personally downloaded six different programs and installed two to try as of this morning. So far so good.

There are dozens of lists like that if you do a quick google.

The list usually varies based on the person's preferences and what's new and improved month-to-month.

Yes, but not everything googled can be trusted. I chose to post this site due to everything I tried, did not have any thing else attached to it. And because it listed quite a few of the regularly reccomened programs from pc mech.

Very true, but are you wiling to say "hey you should try these"? Comfortably?

I actually had seen that before, and forgot about it. I probably should have just posted to it.

The site seemed to have sound advice on freeware and well chosen programs that did not include spyware or adware or dangerous downloads. Since the author listed some of the same programs reccomended here I kinda figured this might be a good site.

I kinda more expected some of you to say " Hey don't use 'X' program 'Y' is better. Or even a "looks like it might be a good site, but..."

I realize now I probably should have asked what you guys thought of this site, and would you reccomend this list of programs.

Well yes I can. I've been going to SnapFiles.com for a few years and have downloaded a few dozen apps from there.
