Intro Randy covers 8 must-have applications that are, for the most part, free and simply amazing. Announcements Congrats to our Jabra Earbuds winner, Jocelyn! There is another giveaway coming soon, in the next couple of weeks. #1: Greenshot Best free screenshot tool out there. My career in I.T. is based on making tutorials for users and this tool is the most efficient one I keep going back to. #2: 7-Zip Completely free, open source. Provides a compression ratio 2-10% Better than WinZip. Can work with a ton of different file formats: AR, ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DMG, EXT, FAT, GPT, HFS, IHEX, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MBR, MSI, NSIS, NTFS, QCOW2, RAR, RPM, SquashFS, UDF, UEFI, VDI, VHD, VMDK, WIM, XAR and Z #3: TeamViewer Team Viewer is free for “personal use”. It allows you to remote into computers to support them remotely. This is a fantastic tool to use to remotely support friends and families' computers. The commercial version of Team Viewer is pretty pricey, so if you're looking at corporate remote support software, I recommend GoToAssist. #4 VLC Media Player Free and Open Source baby! So what is it? It's arguably the best media player. Plays virtually any format. Get this one now. #5: Google Photos Saves users (particularly iPhone users) from paying for tyrannically-priced storage plans. I believe this app is absolutely essential on all smartphones. #6: Outlook Mail and Calendar Outlook Mail and Calendar has the calendar and contacts built into the actual mail app. It's updated very often, and maintains a very high rating in all app stores. #7: Google Voice (Hangouts) Think of it as an “Alias” for your actual phone numbers that you'd otherwise not feel comfortable giving out to someone. It's also great if you want to make phone calls over WiFi, if you're in an area with no cellular connection. #8: GIMP Image Editor I like to refer to it as a totally-free version of Adobe Photoshop. It's not exactly Photoshop, but it's free and worth your attention Bonus: Office 365 Suite
