OK, so Flink LOVES talking about stupid things involving computers. Mostly the messups that people have for no apparent reason.
Such as not knowing what a screen saver is and freaking out about it, screaming that it's a virus.
Or having a laptop and a desktop on in class and trying to use the desktop mouse on the laptop. (Flink's guilt of doing that.)
Being so used to two monitors in class and being confused when you don't have two at home on a day off from school. (Guilty.)
All of those things. They're funny things that people do with computers and they don't even realize it. Also, funny stories from help desk, real fun there.
So, who here has funny computer stories to share? Maybe something you did like above. A story you read on the internet about help desk and stuff like that.
Free Stuff
Game Giveaway of the Day
Game GAOTD is the game counterpart to Giveaway of the Day. A free game that you would normally have to pay for free. They have a new one every day. ENJOY!
Giveaway of the Day
GAOTD offers free software, and also has a link on it to free games. So far as Flink can tell there is no spyware or anything of the like. ENJOY!
Anti-Virus
AVG's Free Anti-Virus
Online Virus Scans
Panda
Optimization
CCleaner is a freeware PC optimization tool. It combines a system cleaner that removes unused and temporary files from your system and also a fully featured registry cleaner!
Anti-Spyware/Adware
Spybot Search and Destroy is a very helpful program that finds and gets rid of Spybots on your computer. The best way to find out all the great things it can do is the explore the site and see for yourself.
Ad-Aware - The 'free' version is more of a demo. It has a small limitation, but it's still a good program. ^-^
Art/Entertainment:
Gimp A very popular free art program available on the internet. A lot of tutorials available for it and everything. Searching on Google or anywhere else will get a lot of results for tutorials.
Addicting Games The name says it all. A LOT of addicting games. Almost all of them are free or either demos, not sure about that part. Hours of entertainment. The "Falling Sand Game" is Flink's current addiction. XD
Orisinal A lot of really cute games by Ferry Halim. They's completely adorable!
More will be added when Flink remembers them. Also, online pranks and stuff will be added when Flink decides they're safe to share with the general public. She doesn't want her friends here to get viruses. T_T
Suggestions
Do you have suggestions for FREE (and only free) stuff online that isn't bad for people's computers? Or doesn't require a million offers for you to sign up... Suggest them to Flink via PM, and PM ONLY!

Gods Flink loves google.
Well, she's not sure if the ones she finds are safe. But http://www.mp3mymp3.com/ that seems a bit like what you want for the first half.
Flink has no clue on the second, since she's looking for something to that effect herself. ^-^;

Flink apologises if she's not supposed to double post here, some places have rules against it, but she couldn't help but post this.
She never noticed how bright the school's monitors are compared to hers at home. It's so weird. At her house she can actually SEE the white mohawk, here she can just barely make out the darkest pixels. o.o
She can't even -see- the first hairstyle, at all. >.<
Same for the second. She can sort of see the third, it's like the mohawk, she can only see the darkest pixels and that's about it. On the fourth she can only see the loop on the left side, nothing else. Again, she can only see the left side on the fifth. Sixth is the easiest to see, but that's not saying much. She can make out the general shape, but it's basically WHITE, then a slight grey tone. Scratch that, 7th is the best, it must have the most shading on it....
And then with a little maaagical adjustment, Flink can see the hair. YAY!

On time when me and my friend were in ICT she tried to log-in on the school computer (using her own screen-name and password) After many tries she was locked out and couldn't get back in.
She called me over in a panic, saying 'the silly machine wont accept my password!'
'Well,' I said, looking at her keyboard, 'it might be because your keys are a bit dodgy..'
Some nutter had switched the letters on her keyboard, so she was typing in random letters xDD so like, the R key was in the F key slot thing xDD

Flink did the key switching thing to her brother once. XD He wondered why the keyboard worked for her and not him. Flink has the keyboard memorized, so she doesn't have to look while she's typing. XD
Also, on Ask Jeeves, it's really fun to play with when you DON'T need results. Flink and her friends had so much fun doing that at school. Haha. The teacher was creeped out at a few of the results.
Maybe Flink should update her post for free Anti-Virus and stuff, in case someone needs it...

Ooooh. Hrm... -tries to think-
Free for all people? Or just free for you?
There's none that have it free for all involved, the person receiving will always have to pay, unless their plan allows free text messages.
Yahoo! Messenger lets you send them. o.o

I remember AIM lets you send them, but I don't know about cost. I was just sending, not recieving.
Anyway, my dad has decided that all IT people are lazy and untrustworthy. And then he asks me to help him whenever he can't get clipart to work or something. It starts to get really annoying about the 2nd or 3rd time he does this, and he does it ALL NIGHT LONG.
I keep telling him to read the help file, but he says that it doesn't work.. Well maybe if he read it, it might actually do something! What a novel concept!
But, let's not make this into a speech. The point is, I don't like it when people ignore the obvious ways to get help and rush to asking dumb questions.
also, fruityloops will join mp3s together, but you have to buy it after a while.

my hubby has fruityloops, he really likes that program.
I was wondering if anyone knew of another free anti-virus software? One that is reliable and works.
I'm currently using AVG but the free version is going to be discontinued after feb 18. (or so that window that pops open on startup tells me)
so I'm in the market for a new anti-virus. ^_^

Where's it say that? Could you get a screen capture of the message next time it says so? Because no where on AVG's free anti-virus website does it say that it's going to discontinue the free version.
