The Simple Dollar » Live Free: Seven Pieces Of Open Source Software That Transformed My Life
Okay, “life transforming” might be a little extreme … but then again I haven’t tried most of them yet.
I have tried GAIM, and I like it. I use Firefox, Thunderbird and (obviously) WordPress on a daily basis (though I haven’t heard of most of the extensions he mentioned).
I loaded Open Office once, but I had a really hard time letting go of Excel. Oddly, I had a hard time letting go of Word, too, and I HATE Word. I guess I’m familiar enough with them that I don’t want to learn anything new anymore. That’s depressing.
I’m intrigued by a few of the others. Once I rebuild this system, as I keep promising myself I’ll do soon, I’ll try a couple of these and see if they live up to the hype.
