More Free Stuff . . .

Well, another cold, cloudy, really sucky day. And another day to just stay at home with hot coffee and warm muffins.

First off I want to clarify the download instructions for the free copy of Photoshop CS2 that I mentioned yesterday.. Here’s what I posted.

http://www.techspot.com/downloads/3689-adobe-photoshop-cs2.html

Just click the above link, select Windows or Mac on the right side, and set back and wait, because it’s a 340 MB download. The program works fine up to Windows 7, but will not work on Win 8.

Below you will find the serial number needed to register the program.

Windows Serial number: 1045-1412-5685-1654-6343-1431
Mac OS X Serial number: 1045-0410-5403-3188-5429-0639

There apparently was some confusion about what you click after you click Windows or Mac, and are taken to the next page.

The answer is ‘Nothing”. The download will start automatically in about 10-15 seconds.

And now I’ve got a couple of more Adobe free downloads for you. Two of their top programs, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign.

The download instructions are the same as for Photoshop.

Another free program you might want take a look at is CalendarTree. Set up by ‘Dilbert’ creator, Scott Adams, it’s a free, quick, easy way for  multiple people to set up and automatically sync up their calendars through Google, Outlook, or iCal (Apple). A neat concept. Hopefully they’re working on an Android interface.

Readers will remember that I complained about Fantastic Vent (Fan) now charging for repair parts that used to be free. So I was kind of ticked off at paying $47.95 ($35 + 12.95 shipping) for a lid-lift motor that they replaced for free only 3 years ago.

But I was slightly less annoyed when I opened the box and found that they had included the complete lift mechanism, and not just the motor. So still annoyed, but slightly less so.


Thought for the Day:

"That which does not kill you has made a tactical error."
