I thought that I had previously mentioned a great software "giveaway" site at:-

that I had stumbled upon but now find that I failed to do so.It is at
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/
whose website declares:-
Giveaway of the day - what's that?
"Well, that's a convenient initiative allowing you to get the best commercial software titles - for free. Every day we offer licensed software you'd have to buy otherwise, for free! Yes, we are giving away software, and you can download it from our site, right now and right here and our goal is to give away every good piece of software, sooner or later"
Since finding it by accident recently I am now checking the site every day and intend bringing any free downloads that appear useful to your attention. Please note that you will only have until midnight on the day I post details to grab any program that takes your fancy for free
Today is a free download of a useful back up program that I already have as it was included with a super little USB external hard drive

I bought the 80 Gigabyte version for $80.00 (nett after the accursed mail in rebate/scam) last year from my favourite online store
http://www.ecost.com
Anyway the program is called
Giveaway of the Day - Backup4all Lite
http://www.backup4all.com/
File Size: 9.24 MB Price: Backup4all Lite is available for $19.95, but it will be free for our visitors as a time-limited offer. You can download and install it now. Please note that you have to install it before the Giveaway offer for Backup4all Lite is over.
whilst posting about free software, I have collected many very useful programs most of which appear to be perfectly sanitary and bug free although one has to be careful as some insist on installing unwanted other rubbish, like useless toolbars or other surfing aids and sometimes malware.
I intend writing a suitable "tips' page in due course but meanwhile one of the best sources for information is Ian "Gizmo" Richards fantastically well researched pages "Tech Suuport Alert: at:-
http://www.techsupportalert.com/contact.htm
he has a pair of listings
1.The 46 Best-ever Freeware Utilities at:-
http://www.techsupportalert.com/best..._utilities.htm
with a link to:-
247-103 latest additions to the list
http://www.techsupportalert.com/best_46_extended.htm
all very nicely listed by category as you can see :-
