Do you like "free"?

I have always been partial to "free."

Free food- yup.
Free entertainment- yup.
Free time- double yup.

How about free online tools and online applications that you  can run from any computer (even a tablet)?

Yup.

Here's a collection. Categories include utilities, home/office tools, photo tools, and more.

All... free!

Who's "URL"?

You've probably noticed.

You ask someone what seems like a basic question about computers or computing...and they answer in a different language.

"You'll need to copy/paste the URL into the browser but make sure it's HTTPS not HTTP..."

Huh?

Here you go! 30 internet/computer terms for the regular folks among us. It says "for beginners," but I am willing to bet all of us learn something new!
