The software section is split into three sections: software archives; software resources; and software publishers; plus we have the computer books section.

Software Archives is a listing of software, from various vendors, which can be downloaded directly from that site. Many of these sites have thousands of programs and can be considered as 'program resource sites'.

Software Resources is a listing which directs you to other resource sites, or directly to either software archives or software publishers. Surf these sites and you will find all kinds of unusual resources – often including graphics, cartoons, platform-specific, etc. Graham's Sensational Software Sources is an example of a resource site.

Software Publishers are the likes of Mircrosoft, Netscape, etc but only include companies which have downloading facilities for their software (or some of it anyway). Many are publishers of shareware products which can be downloaded and used for an evaluation period. Some software publishers have a mixture of freeware (sometimes just demos) and commercial/shareware programs so you may have to look carefully to learn the status of a particular product.

Computer Books is where you can purchase specially selected computer-specific books which can enhance both your on-line experience, and help you to get specific assistance, training and/or reference on particular computer programs. The books are supplied through Amazon.com and have been hand picked just for you. Amazon.com will process your order, provide a secure method of paying using popular credit cards, and even gift-wrap your selection and forward it – in your name – to a friend.
