This archive is a collection of free programs that I've found to be incredibly valuable. I have a particular fondness for free programs because their lifespan depends solely on their usefulness. I've found these types of programs to be especially useful for beginners and professionals trying to keep costs low. While mainstream programs are easy to find and often receive a lot of attention, there are some unsung hero programs out there, and this archive includes some of my favorites.
