poor.

well on older, less-powerful computers, supports web standards and has features
that make it suitable for disabled users

a 'must-have' shareware paint program for anyone who doesn't want to invest in
Adobe Photoshop. An ideal tool for anyone who designs graphics for web sites

a comprehensive free e-mail program, as used here! Avoid the viruses and security
problems associated with Microsoft Outlook.
Trillian - integrate
all your chat clients (ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, AIM) with this free message software.
Dreamweaver
- we recommend this Macromedia software to anyone who wants the professional-standard
tool for web site design. However it is fairly expensive and takes some time to
learn
Clipboard
Express - if you find yourself having to enter the same data into documents
or forms time after time, then give this free program a try. It provides ten screens,
each with ten memories, so it can store up to 100 snippets of text. Any one of
these can be dragged and dropped, or pasted whenever and wherever it is needed
AVI edit
- a great program for capturing and editing AVI videos. Don't be put off by the
basic appearance and small size, this is powerful and unique
