Firefox http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ - FREE

I only use Firefox. It has so many customization options to keep the geek in you happy. But if you are not so geeky, then it is still a great browser for surfing. Look for the plug -ns that they label as their recommendations. Plug-ins I like: 

Adblock Plus - a bit advanced but I like my web pages free from animated annoying ads.

Cooliris - find photos in the flow! Check it out.

Foxmarks - Save your bookmarks and sync them to every computer, good for geeks like me who use 2 Windows and 1 Mac PC.

Forecast Fox - get live updates and warnings of sever weather with radar

###

Thunderbird http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/ - FREE

Another option from Outlook Express and Windows Mail.

###

Google's Picasa http://picasa.google.com/ - FREE

Digital photo organizer, editor, share photos, and create

###

Open Office http://www.openoffice.org/ - FREE

The poor man's Offce
