Title: Best list of free stuff like email and scrpts.
Post by: Geek-9pm on May 01, 2016, 12:26:40 PM

Best list of good free stuff.
http://www.thefreecountry.com/
This does not seem to be a paid advertisement. Just real list of what is out there, Good, Bad and Ugly.
They also list free scripts, cheap web hosting and lots of things for free. And besides the usual list of Linux distros, there are other OS freebies listed.
I commend this sites as your first step when looking for good free stuff. Or even bad free stuff.  8)

The free e-mail list:

Might be useful. Some of the listings are a bit old: in the "Free BASIC Compilers and Interpreters" section I looked to see what they say about FreeBasic, and saw: "At the time this was written, the compiler is still very new, and has little documentation.". FreeBasic v0.0.1 was released in November 2004 and at this time (nearly 12 years later) has gone through many versions (Windows 32 & 64, MS_DOS and Linux) and is considered a well established compiler with very extensive documentation.

In the "Information Organiser Hardware", it had the Rolodex, "as used by the new President, Mr Roosevelt".
