If you try sometimes, you can get what you need
Hey. It's all here. A bunch of it is free. You can download all kinds of programs that'll help put your affairs in order. You can get those upgrades to the programs you already use -- you know, the ones you never got around to requesting. Been meaning to straighten up around the house? Download programs to help organize your stacks of books and home videos. Is your music collection painfully out of order? Use AlbumMaster to arrange your selections and print labels for them. Determined to finally do something with the coffee table you bought last year at a garage sale? Software can help you sponge it a new color. While you're getting so much done, maybe you'd better get something to help you begin doing your taxes. Maybe you'd like to be able to mention -- oh so casually -- a little something about your Web page. But you don't have one. And you don't have time to learn HTML -- at least not till you finish that new novel in which the space aliens and Nazis are duking it out. But we know you can spare a few minutes to snare some Web-authoring and design software like Claris HomePage. Heck, you can not only download software to straighten up your life, you can download software that'll make you look cool. Take a language translator, for example, and write your Hungarian cousin a letter. She'll be so surprised to read it in her native tongue. And won't you look clever? Think how impressive, how organized, how very together you'll seem when you mention that you used software you got off the Net to calculate college aid, find the perfect plant for your garden, design your dream house, and make some business cards. And to those other friends of yours, you can mention how you acquired a choice set of programs that have no practical use whatsoever. So put down that TV Guide. I'm coming over next week, and the place had better look good.
