Based on an older thread from the tech support forum I'd like to start up a sub-forum here for free/cheap software recommendations.
Rather than just a free for all with threads all over the place I'd like to start threads on categories for discussion with a post from me listing the software recommended in that category.
i.e. I post a topic on anti-virus software which lists one or 2 off the top of my head and you guys discuss the pros and cons and recommend others. I'll edit my post to add the recommendations to the list.
If you think there is another/better way of doing this, feel free to suggest it.
I also thought that a "how to..." sub forum might be helpful, for example, how to defragment your hard drive, how to make your pc more secure, how to backup files to a usb stick. These could all contain more than one guide as we all know there is more that one way to skin a cat.
It might serve as a useful place to point users of this forum when they ask a common question.
Your thoughts are welcome.
