Fun Freebies

I found these fun freebies in Consumer Reports Shop Smart magazine. I'm a huge fan of freebies--especially ones you can get online so I hope you like them too! Here they are:

Free Software: OpenOffice.org--If you don't have an office software suite on that new computer you bought (like me who recently bought a laptop for my son and it didn't come with office software), save yourself around $150 and get OpenOffice.org 3. It includes word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, database, and graphics software.

Photo Fun: IrfanView (www.irfanview.com)--Edit your photos with easy-to-master red-eye and cropping functions.

Twitter Tracker: TweedDeck (www.tweetdeck.com)--I have this one already. Twitter fans can easily keep on top of things with TweetDeck. Its multi-column format is easier to follow than Twitter's own site. Check it out for all its cool functions!

Thanks Donna Tapellini for these great fun freebies! Donna is on staff at Shop Smart and is their computer guru.

The Truth About Travel Site Guarantees

I just booked airfare to Disney World through Orbitz because I was excited about their lowest airfare guarantee. However, I just read in Shop Smart magazine that there is so much fine print with travel guarantee sites that claiming a refund if a lower airfare price becomes available is a long shot.

Instead, do your own comparison shopping and use tools at sites like Bing.com/travel and Yapta to find the best times to book.
