GizGadMo's Free Stuff!

 If you are like me you have probably become very frustrated at searching enormous download sites only to download "free" program after "free" program to try and deal with an immeadiate problem.  The sites themselves are often difficult to navigate and many have a tendancy to blur ads in with the supposedly free links, just to trick us into clicking the wrong button. Not to mention the sites that charge for better download speeds or membership.

Generally when we all look for software it is because we have an immeadiate need. We don't have time to mess with a navigation nightmare, lengthy download registration processes or downloading a supposedly free program, install it and run it , only to find that the SAVE function does not work.

If we are going to be doing something often we are eventually going to want to buy a quality program that fits our need.  For this reason trial software is a good deal.  Why not see if the program really does what it is suppose to do.

We are keeping these things in mind: 

Free or fully functional trial versions only!

Download links are directly to the source of the software or direct download links.

There are advertisements and affiliate links on this page, however aside from these advertisements the items we post/list will either be Free without function limitations or they will be trial versions that are fully functional until the trial count stops or the number of trial days expires. 

This page will soon have a large collection of free applications and it's re-organization is already underway, links to trial and free software as well as online services that are available at no cost.  Check back often!
