Simple Free Friday: Command and Conquer Gold

Ever played Command and Conquer? This pacagage may fe frugal, but not exactly GTD. I get totally hooked on theese real time strategy games.

Electronic Arts in 2007 released the cool classic Command & Conquer Tiberian Dawn real-time strategy blockbuster as a free download for the game's 12th anniversary. This was one of the first games to nail the genre of real time strategy.

Downloading and installing the game may take a little effort, however.

Also, the files are in .iso format, so you'll need to burn the files to cd and follow the instructions (still available from EA) to install.

More effort than the usual download to be sure, but if you're nostalgic for a classic game it's a nice free friday option. Happy gaming

Simple Free Friday: StarOffice (application)

If you prefer offline apps that reside on your PC (and looks more like Microsoft) rather than online ones like Buzzword, then give the free StarOffice suite a trial. The package includes a word processor, a spreadsheet app and a presentation program, among other goodies. It's part of the free Google Pack, which also contains a bunch of other programs you might not want. During the Google Pack download, simply check the box next to StarOffice and uncheck all the others.
