open source software - Tutespark week 7

A task for this week is:
Try some free software - good examples which are free and easy to download are: Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, Gimp, Audacity, amsn, pidgin, etc.
Try to use it exclusively for a few days - then decide whether you like it or not! Say why/why not.

I have been using Firefox. It is such a great free software. It is much better than Internet Explolar as Firefox has a great advantage being an open source software. There are so many different looks you can choose from  (so many cool designs are there!), and so many plug-ins are available, as many users can modify, upload and share them.


OK, now I will try to use a new software for the task.



I am studying another subject called 'Art and Cultural Work', and the next assignment is required to use Audacity. I have never used this program before, but I have started using this already for a couple weeks. It is a great software. I can record a sound straight on this program using the microphone on the laptop, and edit it quite easily. I can slice the sound, multiply, add some effects and so on. I don't think I would get rid of this program after I finish my assignment of Art and Cultural Work, as it is really worth to have it. It is a shame that I found out I cannot pan the individual sound from left to right or something, but still it is a great software to record things and edit them easily. I used to record some sounds and used them for my PC instead of using those boring sounds that windows created, such as starting windows, clicks, warnings etc. I can use this program to record the lecture or inportant meetings as well.
