Giveaway sites

[ffutures]

Just in case anyone on my friends list doesn't read User Friendly and its site recommendations:

http://www.giveawayoftheday.com gives away a utility every day
Lj feed is givawayoftheday

http://game.giveawayoftheday.com gives away a free game every day
Lj feed is ggotd

The programs are normally sold as commercial products, typically older stuff but an occasional gem. Basically the idea is that if you like one of them you will be so enthralled that you'll buy other programs from whichever company made them.

The snag is that you have to download and install them the day they are offered or they won't work.

For example, the game today is an update of an arcade game called Quix, Xonix, etc. which I used to love - it's still a lot of fun, there's about seven or eight hours left to download and install it.

Sadly, I've found the LJ feed to be a bit unreliable so check the site personally.

Rats -- the xonix is gone. I have kept our PCjr all these years because of Xonix.

Thanks for the pointer anyway.
