Necessary FREEWARE Update


Here is a quick list of FREEWARE if used by the “new” computer owner can save a great deal of money that can be put towards other things, like more RAM memory, a blu-ray DVD reader/writer, a Web Camera, and/or a higher resolution monitor, instead of software for the new computer. If fact the amount of money saved could be worth hundreds of dollars to the “new” computer owner!

Update

Web Cam → YouCam  Debut Video Capture Software 

After 30 days this software restricts the format that the video can be saved trying to force the user to "buy" an expensive commercial item. Thus the user then needs access to a FREE program to convert the video to their desired choice of format. 

Video Converter Any Video Converter Ultimate Any Video Converter (http;//www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/)
