Another Free PDF Viewer

Posted by Mrs. M on December 17th, 2007

PDF-XChange Viewer
This is another quality PDF viewer I’ve found. As I have said before, I can’t stand that bloatware Adobe Acrobat. I am very happy with my Foxit Reader. PDF-XChange Viewer claims it is more functional than Foxit, but I really didn’t notice much difference. Nonetheless, it is another alternative PDF viewer, and for that I am glad.

The download was lengthy (for my DSL connection, anyway– I waited almost 10 minutes). The program runs well. Check it out if you are looking to be free from Adobe.


A backup software is the only reasonable solution to the risks associated with online file sharing. Many think of a data recovery group being just as effective. However, the perfect computer backup solution requires the presence of a data recovery software nevertheless.

A Worthy Replacement for Notepad

Posted by Mrs. M on December 17th, 2007

MetaPad 3.51
Working with html code everyday, I have grown frustrated with Microsoft’s Notepad. It is still so un-functional. Has Microsoft even touched Notepad since 1991?!

So, I’ve had my eyes peeled for a replacement. I’ve tried a few, but they were either too large or still not what I was looking for. I just downloaded a little program called MetaPad that I think will be my Notepad replacement from now on.

It’s more functional, it has more settings, and the word wrap works so much better! I’m pleased with it! It’s tiny, it’s simple, it works, and it’s free!

If you’re looking for a suitable replacement, you might like MetaPad.
