Synopsis

Gagné finds gems in the large and expanding library of free software, including tools to surf the web, filter spam, make your computer and email secure, operate an office, do instant messaging, make free calls worldwide, build your own web site, create and edit digital art, and play games from the basic to one of the best flight simulators available. Gagné rates the performance of the free software (the comparisons with commercial software are inevitable) and makes sure even novices can load, use, and reproduce their masterpieces. The DVD includes all the software Gagné describes here. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
