Software I use

Some people have been asking me what applications I use, so I'll try to list them. I use Windows XP.

Browser & Mail:
- Mozilla
- Mozilla Mail
I dont use Mozilla Firebird and Mozilla Thunderbird since I like the integration of the browser and mailclient into one product. Small stuff like being able to press CTRL+N all over the application to get a new browser window, etc. Eventually I will move to the two birds.

File Management:
- Total Commander (A file manager and FTP manager that rocks)

Editor:
- UltraEdit (Best editor for Windows ever)

Office:
- Microsoft Office
- OpenOffice.org (The UI in OpenOffice.org is still to nerdy and there's still missing a lot of stuff compared to MS Office)

Internet:
- SecureCRT (Who can live without SecureCRT?)
- Bersirc (IRC client. Ok, but not great. Still looking for a nice client other than MIRC)

Instant Messenger:
- Miranda (Multi protocol. Loads of plug-ins. Open Source)

Media:
- BSPlayer (Small fast player)
- QuickTime Alternative (Play QuickTime files just without the bloat)
- RealPlayer Alternative (RealPlayer is the worst bloat/ad ware program I know. I would never trust installing it)
- K-Lite Codec Pack (You never need to install another codec to watch a video)
- WinAmp (Still using version 2. Version 3 sucks bigtime)

Remote Access
- Remote Administrator (Used to remote control my PC at work)

Graphics
- XnView (I used to use ACDSee but converted to XnView since it's free)
- Paint Shop Pro (Never figured out how to use Photoshop)

Misc:
- 4NT (Command prompt replacement)
- Acrobat Reader
- Sun Java Runtime Environment
- jv16 PowerTools (Fix and optimize Windows)
- Spybot - Search & Destroy (Spyware remover)
- PINs (Passwords manager)
