   You are correct, I am a FREE software collector.   
      
   I began collecting lots of Utilities and some Games and Other Programs   
   after a Ham told me a local Commodore BBS telephone number.   
   So I started calling it with my 300 baud dial-up modem on the   
   Commodore 64 back in 1984.   
      
   I've learned to love Utility Programs and I have learned a lot from   
   using them.

   I have a lot of icons in the Quicklaunch section on the Taskbar that   
   just takes one click also.   
      
   A lot of them are used all the time, such as the one that starts MM so   
   I can Read and Write BBS Messages.   
      
   But Yes, some of those aren't used very often just as most of the icons   
   on the Desktop aren't used very often either.
