Re: Freeware Alternative Software List

Hi Everyone using Cable forum ,Never used one of these before, I'm a bit long inthe tooth(83, and still a computer user)
I have an older version of Visioneer scanner 8100,I am using XP the unit was for WIN 98,can anyone tell me how to update the program free with out having to get it from "Driver doc" or similar, every time I ask for update I get one of these Free programs pop up and they scan and then to update you have to register and pay.Hope I've put this in the right place eddnewman

Re: Freeware Alternative Software List

Does anyone know of a freeware offline blog/diary/organiser software please? I currently use notepad but I need something more advanced than that.

Thanks
