Yes Virginia, there is a free ride

Do you know the old saying, "You get what you pay for!" or the equally old advice that, "There is no such thing as a free ride?" Well, I am here to tell you that cyberspace is doing its part to disprove these adages.

Do you know the old saying, "You get what you pay for!" or the equally old advice that, "There is no such thing as a free ride?" Well, I am here to tell you that cyberspace is doing its part to disprove these adages.

One of the best things about the World Wide Web is the abundant availability of "free stuff." There are more "freebies" in cyberspace than most of us will ever find.

You can spend some serious time surfing on your computer and picking up some pretty nice things at no charge.

Therefore, I would like to issue my official apology to all of the spouses, children, and staff of anyone who reads this article and starts to surf around the sites listed here. There is nothing like finding some bargains. Have fun!

If you are looking for some free software or screensaver software and did not find exactly what you were looking for on any of the above sites, the second list contains some sites strictly dedicated to software and screensavers.

Share this knowledge with others. There is no reason why you should be the only one having this much fun!
