What are some freeware programs you can't live without? I'm trying to expand my PC library, and I'm looking for some cool freeware programs. They can be programs of any type, rather it's photo editing, games, or just about anything freeware you can't live without. So...any suggestions?

firefox, the gimp, nvu, abiword processor and smartftp (smartftp isn't freeware, but I've been using it for a while and still haven't paid...it just gives you the option to buy it if you want).

Really? How do you animate? Or do you need a pre-animated picture put as the background to get that?

Yeah, I made this niffty little green feet avatar. (Not that I did much, sort of a 'cut and paste' operation but still)

Nah. What you do is make multiple images, each one being the different frames you want, then you download Unfreeze, and animator program, and put all the images on there and it'll make it a GIF for you :)

foobar2000 definitely. musikCube if you want a better directory interface.

Media Player (C)lassic and VLC Player.

...anything else?...oh yeah.

Trillian (chat client), and

Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition (it's free to anyone who can prove they either teach a class or attend a college and they're getting high schools involved too)
