Inspired by this thread Your 6 most used progs on your PC ? from the motherforums, what would they be, the 6 programs you could only ever use.
For sake of the thread you were using a pc with internet.

In that case it would be EDonkey, Internet Explorer and Nero 6 with NeroVision Express 2 and DVD Shrink and erm 2 others

6 instances of eDonkey. Wow, what a boring thing that would be with nothing to view your downloads with.

Make sure you get a proper licence for the tissues, if you upgrade to SP2 you need a pucka licence apparently

bullet = t3h winn0rz

Notepad = less resource hungry (not by much, but a win!)

Notepad = user friendly

Post by **Me Too** » Fri Jun 18, 2004 8:26 pm

Seeing as Wordpad can understand Linefeed only files - it wins!

Anyway.
1. PuTTY.
2. grep
3. Azureus (total quality BitTorrent client - http://azureus.sf.net )
4. Firebird Email client
5. Firefox Web browser
6. SamSpade Win32 network tool or host + dig on Linux

Ithankyou.
