The first is a software suite called OpenOffice. It is a great free word processing program and much more. It can also create spreadsheets, presentations, graphics and databases.
I have recently run into a problem while trying to open a word processing document from a program that I didn't have on my computer. After installing OpenOffice, I was able to read and edit the document without any trouble. I have used this program for over two years and am very pleased with it. I have used it for word processing and presentations mostly and it works great. If you are looking for an office suite program that is free, you can't beat OpenOffice.
The second free program I would like to share is a site called keepvid.com. You can use this site to convert video files free from YouTube or DailyMotion or other online video sites, to save on your computer or to upload to your Ipod. You find the video you want to save, highlight and copy the url and paste it into the URL browser at the top of the keepvid.com page and click download. Then it will bring up one or two options for your download preferences. Usually you can choose between an .flv file or an .mp4 file. Choose whichever works best for you. I usually choose .mp4 file as it works well with Ipod. Then you choose where to save your file to on you computer. You can then upload video to Ipod using iTunes or another media player such as RealPlayer. Both are free to download and have great features.
