What software should I have

[CallaB]

I bought a Hp g61 notebook. What essential software should I have on? I have winrar, powerISO, Eset and speccy on so far. What else do you recommend?

P.s Does anyone have a key for office 2007?

I'm not sure, but I think you can get those from Microsoft.

I dont want to pay for office as I dont use it that often.

Then rather use OpenOffice, which would probably be sufficient for your needs.

Whatever tickles your fanny...
It's your notebook, so you decide what you want to use it for and then get the software for that purpose.

Yes, to get it from any other source is bad and naughty and theft and you will go to hell for it after jail.

Love this logic! I don't want to pay SARS as I don't use social grants, clinics, public transport or correctional services that often.
