| Free Technical Advice | ||||
Sweetwater Technology Services has decided to dedicate an entire page to free technical advice and recommendations on questions and problems we commonly encounter. To keep expenses down we try to recommend free or inexpensive software. Remember software is usually free because it is either a full version of software with disabled features or it contains advertisements. If you do not wish to have advertisements, you may not wish to download any software labelled freeware. However, most of the software we recommend, we use, therefore advertisements are kept to a minimum or we would not use it! |
