Free Online Stuff (Part 1) "Google"

They say that "The Best Things in Life Are Free"; and while we don’t know exactly who “They” are, we in fact do love free stuff. The following list of free items just may make your day a bit brighter; or not. Well we hope they do.

Google: Gmail.com is a great way to establish your Google presence. With a Gmail account, you not only have the ability to send e‐mails to anyone in the world (free), but also have the ability to take advantage of other Google features (www.gmail.com) .

You can setup an IGoogle homepage (http://www.google.com/ig) and add real‐time gadgets like links to your Gmail account, analog clock, news, Youtube clips, weather, and many more… You can even add a gadget that utilizes the free unused space that Gmail allows you; uploading files that you may need to retrieve and a later time.

You can take advantage of Google Calendars and access appointments from any computer’s Web
browser (https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin). You can even share calendars with other Gmail users.

Share pictures on the web with family and friends using “Google Pictures”; aka” Picasa

If you own a computer at home and don’t have a copy of Microsoft Office, Google has an online
document storage system: Google Docs (http://goodocs.notlong.com). Here is a short video:
(http://goodocvid.notlong.com). Great for retrieving files from any computer browser.

Google is full of very useful free, online technologies; take a look at their “Products” page:

If you are looking for a more standard office application and don’t care to pay the high prices, a great solution would be OpenOffice: (http://www.openoffice.org/)
