Occasionally I have written blog posts about software programs I use, but I have never made a list of what is on my computer. For those who are curious...

Free Software

Note that this is not a complete list. My home computer has the usual assortment of Acrobat Reader, Flash, Quicktime, and a host of other software accessories and drivers.
I could now switch to OpenOffice and stop using Microsoft Office XP. However, for a few years I was often exchanging with other ministers .doc or .ppt files that included a mix of Hebrew and English, and at least back then OpenOffice could not handle Hebrew vowels. So I purchased Microsoft Office XP then, and still use it.
