This sounds like a wonderful idea. What I have done is started using Dragon NaturallySpeaking again. I have a very hard time typing and losing something after spending a great deal of time typing it is disheartening.</p> <p>I gave you people wrong information on "Download Junkie". Download Junkie is some kind of sub name. This is where you need to start <a href="http://www.vnunet.com/downloads/" rel="nofollow">http://www.vnunet.com/downloads/</a> . When you go to this URL you'll see how Download Junkie fits into the name.</p> <p>If any of you came back here and got this information, I would appreciate it if you'd let me know with a short note.

I googled for "Download Junkie" and ended up in this backwater site <strong><a href="http://www.downloadjunkie.com/">Download JunkIE</a></strong>. After questioning your sanity for the glowing recommendation you'd given it, I reGoogled and discovered <strong><a href="http://www.downloadjunky.com/">Download JunkY</a></strong>. Ahhhh, much much better! :-) Guess the latter couldn't afford to buy the properly spelled domain off the former, so both are using the proper title on their sites and throwing Google's spiders off.</p> <p>Hmmmm, Johnny Appleseed's tugging my sleeve. Wants me to dibble a gem he's been holding for some time - <strong><a href="http://www.download.com/8300-2007_4-12.html">Seth Rosenblatt's Daily Download</a></strong>. It is a great daily source of freeware, and Johnny claims it hasn't been posted here before. (that's hard to believe... I think he's been hitting the sauce again) </p> <p>I'm pretty sure <strong><a href="http://www.megaleecher.net/">Megaleecher</a></strong> has also been mentioned before, but what the heck, I won't be here if someone points that out. Besides, it can easily be mistaken for mega<strong>LECHER</strong>, and we all know I have a "reputation" to maintain. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3659#post-39154 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 06:07:26 +0000 Bigun 39154@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I got people thinking. NO ONE mentioned Download Junkie the biggest free and licensed giveaway of them all. I caught Acronis Disk Manager there not too long ago. I am almost positive that I downloaded Acronis True Image from them in the last year or so. I ended up buying a newer version of True Image when it came out so the old ones is gone and I can't check on it.</p> <p>You are not likely to find what you are longing for in licensed and boxed software the first time or two that you try a giveaway site - but I have hit some big ones on my first visit to some of them.</p> <p>I will keep the rest to myself if you won't brag about what I have already thrown you. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3659#post-39051 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 03:08:13 +0000 aRenegade 39051@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I forgot to mention that as far as freebie's go check this out:</p> <p>"101 Fantastic Freebies<br /> Whether you're partial to online services or to downloadable software, we have the Web's best free stuff and it'll keep you productive, secure, and entertained."</p> <p>Here's the link and let me know what you all think.

I've shared some of the same feelings. But, as I look back I see I have downloaded some very good programs. A recent offering, WireKeys, has turned out to be another jewel for me.</p> <p>The Giveawayoftheday website has some competition. Sometimes offerings on the other giveaway websites are quite good and do not parallel the offerings on the Giveawayoftheday website. And as most of you probably have noticed, at other times the same offering appears just a day or two before or after the offering appears on the GOTD website.</p> <p>Regardless of what my schedule for the day is, I usually check the Giveawayoftheday website and one or two of the other giveaway sites before I start working. </p>
