Microsoft Math

I have been using Microsoft Math for over a year now and love this program. Instead of buying a $200 calculator I have used this $20 software to get the job done many times. I am now finishing up Calculus 3 and haven’t needed a graphing calculator at all since I can do it all in this program. Check it out, and spread the word if you know anyone who is going to be starting up calculus.  (click here to check it out and buy it online)

 

Edit PDFs for Free

I have had several times where I needed to edit a PDF file and resave it as a PDF. One option is to buy Adobe Acrobat and edit and save your PDFs. I found a better and cheaper solution. It is called PDFescape.com (click on the picture below to check it out).>

Free CD Burning Software

I came across CDBurnerXP a few years ago. I'm glad to see that they are still releasing new versions. If you need a free CD/DVD burner that is very easy to use and did I mention free? Then check out CDBurnerXP (click here to check it out) . It only takes a few minutes to install and get set up.

DVD Fab

A few months ago I wanted to find a piece of software that would convert my DVD's so that I could play them on my PC and also my Ipod. I tried several different free ones and finally got fed up with them and how long they took. I stumbled upon DVDFAB and have not been disappointed. It is a great piece of software. You pay for what you need. I personally purchased the DVD to DVD and DVD to Mobile pieces of the software. Both combined was about $60. Another nice function about the DVD to DVD component is that you can copy a DVD and take out all of the previews and menus and even have it replay once it is done, this is great for our DVD player in our van. Below are a couple of screen shots. It is very simple to use.

Remove Duplicates in ITunes

This is something that has bugged me for a while. I have done it by hand before, but let me tell you, with a ton of songs it can take a while. There is a piece of software that will do the work for you! It has a free 30-day trial which you can use to clean up your library. It is called
It also will fill in missing song titles and other details.

Free Antivirus

The best free anti virus that I have used so far is Microsoft Security Essentials. I have been using it for several months now and have not had any infections and any problems with using the software.
