    Needs to be a regular poster to keep things up to date , I am totally useless at organizing things, so it`s not me.

    Dont know if i need permission from the mod`s to do this but i am sure i will find out.

    I suppose it will be style on the PC free software section, but nothing is set in stone.

    Anybody up for the job? :D

    Yeah your right thread.

    I think we need to give it a few days to see who else wants the job, so we dont have 20 free threads, or the mods will be angry.

    We need every mac user to help out finding free software, but only 1 person can edit the list? unless you are a mod.

    I suppose if you have any free software links, you can post them here, and they can be copied across to the official thread once it gets going.

    I am unfortunately rather busy (my excuse for my long absence from NBR :D), but I wanted to note for anyone wanting to work on this:

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/search.php?searchid=3909347

    Eluzion did compile this back then, so it may be a good reference! Of course, it is outdated, but the software that is listed is a good idea!
