Greenstreet PowerText 3D v2.00 Apparently not now available from Greenstreet and there may not have been free versions. Similar to MS Wordart but can be saved to a jpg file. I have used it on my homepage. Laboriously, I converted to GIF using Irfan and made the background transparent with Photoshop. Normally, PowerText seems to use a white background.
Font Magic An excellent free alternative to PowerText. It uses bitmaps to create texture, so you should be able to add your own. Font Magic uses OpenGL, which will normally be present on your PC, as 3D screensavers are often based on it.
First Page 2006 An excellent html-based website tool. The appearance is similar to Homesite, as the tool is not WYSIWYG. UK viewers may remember a previous version on the free ISP disk from Waitrose Supermarkets.
EditPad Lite text editor Useful addition to MS Notepad.

IrfanView superb, small, picture viewer, including scroll through thumbnail pictures and editing. Everyone should use it, no computer should be without it, one of the best pieces of freeware in the world. I installed the IrfanView plugins and found that the audio player would play ogg vorbis, but not AAC.
Nokia PC Suite. 17MB but well worth it - easy, fast, ripping direct from CD tracks to AAC files. Contains an AAC music player, Media Player etc. You don't need a Nokia Phone to use it. Forget mp3 and ogg vorbis, AAC is used by the Apple i-pod. Less than 1MB/min at 160Kb/sec - 'nuff said.
DVD Genie , switch regions for several major software DVD players.
Firefox Browser. Consider viewing your site in this browser as it is sympathetic to disabled users.
Nvu, free website maker recommended by a Freeweb user. Versions for MAC and Linux.
Namu6, free website maker though personally I can't understand how to use it.
Superb free CD burner. CDburnerXP Pro.
another free CD burner . Burn4free. Be careful with this one - I lost my previous tracks!
softlookup
FreeRIP , does a good job on mp3 and ogg vorbis, straight from CD to file.
Deliplayer 2, an audio player that plays mp3 and ogg vorbis, and maybe FLAC, but not AAC, and has reverb and equaliser built in, if you can find them (the modus-operandi is not obvious). Hint - right click and open window.

HTfireman was a 1.7MB, obscure, CD burner that could recognise drives not seen by other burners, and downloaded slowly from an American college. Seems to have gone in favour of a 7MB retail version.
CUseeMe: useful video conferencing software, but cannot now find a source. Useful because White Pine put v.4 serial numbers into the public domain and they work with v.5. (from cuseeme.com, who later issued version 6 with no trial version). CU stood for Cornel University - a play on words.
