This is my site for links to Genuine Free Stuff as well as some useful advice. I use most of these programs regularly. It's good gear. It's all worth having.

** April 2014. Major revamp and update for relevance happening, especially now that support for Windows XP has ended, and now that we all are addicted to our Android phones. A lot of old stuff is going.

This post in particular started this whole website...

I have been building and using computers since about the Ice Age, from DOS 3 through to Windows 7.
I have been mucking about with mobile phones for quite some time, using Symbian S60 and then Android.

Press F8 at boot to start in safe mode - Windows XP and 7
To see the details of you computer, download, install and run 'Speccy' - shows Operating System, Firewall, Anti-virus and hardware.
If you think you have a virus, start here 'Free Online Virus Scan'. Try any or all, and be patient.

Picasa free photo editing software and free online photo storage

Here's a tool I use from time to time. Picasa photo editor and online photo storage.

Here's the link to Picasa free download from Google
http://picasa.google.com/

You can download that free program to view and edit your photos.

You can also store them online at Picasa web Albums - which now redirects to Google Photos
http://picasa.google.com/
https://plus.google.com/photos/

This is yet another good way to Back Up Your Computer Now.
If the house burns down or some nasty sod steals your computer, you have your precious pics backed up online.

Running on my mainframe...



Cheers. Si.
Checked for links and relevance, April 2014.
