As if to prove this site’s slogan (“Someday all software will be free”), every month I feature software that used to be shareware but turned freeware (check out the first and second installments of these). This month, four programs:
Vectorian Giotto, Shortcircuit 2, PC Login Now, and AbpMon.
Note 1: the “star” program here which you have to check out is without a doubt “Vectorian Giotto”, a flash (SWF) creation tool.
Note2: these are not mini reviews of the software presented here and in many cases I have not tested these on my machine.
This software is for “designers, not coders”, in that it emphasizes the creation of elements via simple tools without the need for complex coding (even as it has full support for ActionScript2).
I am no expert on sampling or music software, but after little foray/investigation that I made looking into this software I came out with the impression that at some point this software had had quite the impact. And is now available for free!
This software bypasses Windows altogether; to use it, download the ISO file from this location then burn it to CD (say for example using ImgBurn); next, boot into your system using the PC Login Now CD and you should be able to do what is needed.
Still, with the ability to customize both the displayed metrics and the color scheme, as well as set up automatic alerts, this software seems to have lots of appeal.
That’s it for now. Please email me any tips you might have of software that is recently flipped and become freeware!.
