If you had to only take 3 pieces of software, what would they be and why?

I will start by saying

First, I will go with opera because i love its speed and compliance with w3 standards.

Second, trillian because i can use all the chats in one although miranda is looking better each day but not there yet for me.

Finally, bitfender because its such a small yet extensive program that also works for linux

Your turn now

Hard to say. I like all that applies to GNU/GPL.

1) gvim
2) gnome
3) gpsim

There are so many!. Forgive me those not mentioned.

[Danieluchis]

definetely, trillian, Ragnarok and windows media player with tons of music n__n i could be happy with only that (well maybe Photoshop too ¬¬.. but im putting media player on top of my jerarquic list because i rather hear music than editing pictures all day )

[LeAnn Rimes My Angel]

My favorite software is the kind that's free! I don't like paying for software, because I'm cheap. I suppose this would include Linux, Firefox, phpBB, Ad-aware, Zone Alarm, MSN, Yahoo Messanger, and a few others that I should not have legally.

[Tyssen]

1. Firefox
2. Opera
3. AceHTML

[psychiccyberfreak]

well, this is tough...

I would go with:

[+]mozilla firefox
[+]TSW web coder PRO
[+]macromedia central

I'm the only smart one, I want something that is completely expandable.
central is basically anything you want put into one single application.I like it so much.

[solarraider]

thats a hard question....I think....maybe.....
1. MSN Messenger
2. Mozilla Firefox
3. Adobe Reader

MSN to communicate, Firefox to surf the net, and Adobe to read all the files that I download.

[melkonianarg]

i recon firefox, msnmessenger & a game like LOR return of the king...that would do...

[Styx]

my 3 would be Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and Winamp. ---in that order.

You're the only smart one? Bit full of yourself aren't ya?

1. Firefox - The best and most secure browser out there. Not to mention it's open source and free.

2. Photoshop CS - I see what this thing is capable of doing, so I decided to jump in the bandwagon. Best graphics software out there. Not free, but definately worth the money if you know how to use it.

3. Microsoft Notepad - Simplicity is the key. Whenever I want to edit one of my webpages, I just right-click, and select Edit. Simple. Also, it doesn't take up much memory at all, so you can have about 30 instances of Notepad open without slowing down your computer. Did I mention it's free?

[wlite]

My favorite 3 software are

(1) windows xp sp2 - i just upgrade from win2000 a couple days ago. It seems likely faster than win2000 on my AMD 1.2G CPU with 512 MB ram.

(2)partition magic 8- I like to fdisk my hard. It just fast and correct.

(3)Emeditor- it is clean and powerful.

[madangel]

I use most:
1.Firefox
2.FlashFXP
3.Photoshop CS
4.Dreamweaver MX
5.Yahoo Messenger
6.Windows Media Player Classic

[Thunder]

I would have to say..

1) Modzilla FireFox - Faster than Internet explorer and looks cool

2) Nero - Best program to burn CDs,DVD, and other things.

3) The Shield Pro 2005 - Top rated Virus Program as of today and it beats BitDefender by 10% It catches more virus/trogens, etc. Plus free techical support

[CyBoy]

1. Winamp - the music is food for my soul
2. Photoshop CS - the best graphic software ever
3. Macromedia MX - I have nothing to say...

that is the software that I also use almoust every day

[XeNoToSs]

^ best one.

1. firefox. made my internet browsing experience much easier.
2. any sort of game that i would play on a regular basis.

[htmlmaster]

Definitly Firefox to browse the web, Photoshop (I don't even have but I want), and Visual Basic 6 (I also don't have this) with VB6 I could just make my own software

[fffanatics]

Well i would take

1.) Trillian
2.) Winamp
3.) Bittornado (Shadow's expiramental bittorrent client)

unless an operating system was considered software then i would have to take windows xp instead of Bittornado since i would need something to run winamp and trillian

[ps2online]

well, lets take a look at my quick launch bar... the first tree are:
emule; firefox; MSN messenger

I'll second that, but (not to start a flamewar) my favorites are:

1. GNU Emacs - spend more than 6 hours daily using this (development, web design, etc.)
2. Mozilla Firefox - a fantastic browser made even better with great extension like Adblock, Aardvark, Web Developer and Greasemonkey!
3. Perl - this is the programming language I would take with me on a deserted island - it's just so versatile.

And luckly all three products works on everything I use : Linux, Unix and Windows...

[Amezis]

1. Windows XP SP2
2. Internet Explorer working on Internet.
3. Norton Internet Security.

Then, I would go on Internet Explorer, download Firefox, then go on Firefox, download:

Ares and LimeWire - Good p2ps
MSN Messenger
SmartFTP - I need a FTP client!
WinAmp
Ad-Aware

Then, i would go on LimeWire and download:
Microsoft Office XP with Frontpage
Adobe Photoshop 7.0 (I'm not using CS)
Dreamweaver.

I know I'm a bit illegal, but, if I only could start with 3 programs, I couldn't do it any other ways...

And now, I think I have everything I need.

So, if I were able to get three softwares, and Internet (no-one said anything about that or any hardware), I could get everything I need. lol.

[Becca]

I can't live without my internet (AOL- crap I know lol), firefox, adobe photoshop 7.0, giffy and MS Paint. THose are like the things I need. I mean MSN or anyother msging program you can use online and stuff..I think.

[it01y2]

my three best software are:

Prodektop- which you can create d models.

Macromedia flash- create movies and animation

Visual basic- make and poduce programs

[muksimp]

hmm... really hard to say, but i think that

1. DC++
2.Opera
3.irc or msn messenger
