Audacity 1.2

Autoruns 9

DualBootPRO 1.0.0

ImgBurn 2.5

Iometer

KeyText 3.13

This is not a must have seeing how most people would not use it but for those that need more in a way of a calculator for computing math problems Microsoft has a free program called Microsoft Mathematics. It even has a nice conversion tool.This would be a great addition for students to have on their computer.

Thanks for the link Doc. I just went through it and noticed there are some that are against this type of software. I am not saying this should replace teaching children to solve math equations by using their brain. This is a more advance tool for dumb people like me that would spend half a day trying to figure out what this tool can do in seconds. If you do not think this is a good idea then you probably are against anything that helps with productivity. We live in a different age. I do not like that children are encouraged to take calculators to class but times have changed and methods of doing things have changed whether we like it or not.
