Fresh Software

Several pieces of software came to my attention just recently;all four of them published by the practically unheard of ‘Fresh Devices’ company and available completely free of charge from www.freshdevices.com. I spent an hour this afternoon trying them out and thought they were worthy of inclusion in Click.

Firefox 1.5

With a new version of Firefox recently released I thought it was well time that I recap on this fantastic browser as far too many people are still using what I would consider to be the inferior Microsoft designed Internet Explorer.

My original review last year focussed [...]

Internet Content Filters

Many parents are worried about the type of material their children could access on the Internet,either intentionally or by accident as even without trying it’s easy to inadvertently end up at one of the less reputable sites online.

Opera browser

After this instalment of Click many readers may be convinced that I’m on a mission to replace all the Microsoft products on your computer with those created by other manufactures but you would be quite wrong. Whilst it is true that I quite often suggest alternative products to those such [...]

WinAmp

As those who know me will testify,I’m always the fan of the underdog –If there are two companies developing products then you’ll always see me routing for the smaller of the two for several reasons. I believe that as long as you have two serious competitors then a [...]

Google Toolbar

As many of my readers will know,Google is by far my favourite search engine and a free tool that has been available for all users of Google for some time now certainly deserves a mention in Click. The Google toolbar which is available from http://toolbar.google.com/ is a small utility [...]
