Freaky Frugalite

Now that I have a smartphone, I LOVE text messaging. Well, I always like text anything, but it was very laborious to do any texting with a Tracfone. :-p I am discovering the wonderful world of using text SMS messaging as a way to remind myself about appointments and to-do lists. And did you know [...]

Frugal fans, this is the perfect time to get new software. As with the car dealerships, software vendors are eager to get rid of this year’s models in anticipation of next year’s stuff. I never buy new, “next year” software, (just like I never buy new, “next year” cars), because usually the upgrade to the [...]

I’ve tried quite a number of financial and budgeting software- MS Money, Quicken, and some free stuff online. Whoa, whoa! Waaaay too complicated.

I’ve tried their landscaping software, and have been mulling over their home improvement software. I have an 1855 house that hasn’t been updated in, oohhhh about 150 [...]

Remember how I was lamenting about my problems with making videos on my computer? How I couldn’t find anything to work with my Kodak camera’s .MOV video files? It was driving me bananas. Well, I found it!!!! I am flipping, absolutely flipping! I did an extensive review of the Roxio Creator 2010, and it is [...]

Has anyone tried this software? It’s the Roxio Creator 2009 software. I saw it dirt cheap while scouring Buy.com’s sale pages. (You DO check out Buy.com’s sale pages every week, now, don’t you?!). As many of you know, I’ve been going bananas, trying to find SOMETHING that I can use to edit .MOV files from [...]

I have just a LEEEETTLE bitty suggestion to the dudes who run Download.com (the C|Net folks): Don’t ya think that by now you should get rid of all those software programs that will only run on Windows 95 and 98?

I mentioned a few days ago that I am *trying* to help a friend in Virginia get rid of a nasty virus on his computer. How is it going, you ask? TERRIBLE so far! Gah!! Those jerks who create viruses and trojans should be incarcerated for life and be forced to listen to old Flock [...]
