Too Many Shareware Links

Shareware, Freeware, Demoware & Abandonware Download Sites
Free Webspace & E-Mail Providers
Routing & Forwarding Services
Clip Art, Counters, and Website Gee-Gaws

Let's face it. Everyone loves things that are either free or cheap.
Especially when it's something we can actually use.
Below are links that I have found for websites that offer freeware or shareware,
or feature links to sites that do so,
as well as other items/services for websites.

Acme Laboratories (The ones who made the "labelmaker" text above.)
Clip Art Connection
Clip Art: On the Net
Malathar's Dragons (Adorable dragon-themed clip art, some of which I've used on this website)
Web Clip Art (List maintained by Millikin University)

Please read all information concerning the browsers before you choose to download and install them,
because not all browsers are designed for all computers or operating systems.

(KMFMS also has extensive information on non-Microsoft utilities and operating systems.)
You can also visit the Campaign for a Non-Browser Specific WWW (also known as the "Anybrowser Campaign") for information on constructing a website that can be read with any web browser.

Since you're here, stop by at... The Free Webpage Provider Review
...for links to free e-mail, webspace providers, guestbooks, counters, banner and button exchanges, forwarding services, website URL routers, virtual domains, re-mailers, and other services.

Just in case you're wondering about the terms...

Commercial software that is no longer being sold retail,
but has been released as "freeware" or "shareware" on the internet.
("...I could'a been a contendah...")

Software that is still in the experimental stages,
usually distributed directly by the program's developers.

(Also known as SAMPLEWARE or TRIALWARE) "Free sample" versions of commercial software,
often with time limits, missing elements, or calendar sensitive "shut downs"
(i.e.: the software will not function after thirty days from the download),
distrubuted free of charge as an incentive to buy the full commercial release.
(That's how Doom became such a big hit!)

Software that is distributed free of charge,
often for the general interest, or (more than likely)
for the program developer's self-promotion.

Copyrighted software that is distributed free of charge
with the intention that a registration fee will be sent to the designer(s)
for notices when upgrades are available.
Some programs have features that are disabled until a password is entered,
which is available from the developer when the registration fee is paid.

...and please...
If you like, or use, a particular program that you've downloaded,
do yourself, the developer(s), and everyone else a very big favor.
Open your wallet and pay the registration fee!!!
It is through the support of the independant developers that shareware is made possible.

Yes, I spent a whole 90 minutes checking to see if all these links still worked!
