    Useful freeware programs

    I downloaded a program called cutepdfwriter that allows one to convert anything on your screen, regardless of program, into a pdf through the print function. Basically the program shows up in the print window as a printer option.

    It's great for converting word docs, web pages, jpegs to pdfs instantly. I suppose the full version of Adobe Acrobat does the same thing, but it's not free. Additionally the program can pare down a pdf doc by only selecting the pages you want to save.
    Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

      My favorite site for getting these programs is FileHippo. I really like that you can download previous versions if you would need to do so.

      My most used free programs are VLCplayer, Utorrent, IMGBurn, Daemon tools, DVDDecripter. I am sure there a tons more.

                  My Macbook Pro is a work computer and I am not allowed to use freeware/shareware unless it has been approved and since Macs aren't really approved anyway (testing and evaluating) I don't have many options.
