Let us be precise here: freeware can be goldware or it can be screamware. This is because it is largely made by student developers whose goal is to move into retail programming. So there is a wide range of quality in this section, ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous even at a single site. But here are our top thirty picks, given without any responsibility for damages to your system. This does not mean a site not listed is not good. It may simply be we have not yet found it (there are so many). So we welcome your email feedback and suggestions as always. One warning: beware the pop-up ads! Most freeware sites are, like the Midiphonic Society, non-profit and out-of-pocket but unlike the Society they have not learned how to find respectful sponsors or confine them to a few select sections. Hence the constant annoyance of pop-up ads or hidden agendas on what amount to glorified homepages.
