Programs For The People

The site is hosted by a free webhosting site from the Carnegie Mellon University that you too can use to build your own site for free and get a domain name for free just by cicking on the Build A Site link at the top of this page
It's not rocket science, has templates and most website features, including a free donate/payment facility, can be incorporated quite easily

You can eventually upgrade to a paid site, something that has several benefits, including a shorter site name and no advertising, something we ourselves will do when funds allow
If a philianthopist cares to sponsor our paltry upgrade monthly fee they would be given due credit in our site footer, thus appearing on every page

If you have no ad-blocking, java-blocking or anti-pop-up facility on your browser, you may see the ads that make this kind of site possible for groups and individuals
Chances are that you are using a sub-standard browser such as Internet Explorer, a program designed by Grey Forces to restrict and commercialise your web use, not anywhere near web-secure and the all-time favourite hi-jack target for malicious hackers and a very ordinary product all round

Open-source software makes no enemies and doesn't attract the world's best hackers trying to disrupt it, indeed, these very hackers are probably working on making some open-source software better as I write this, in between attacking Microsoft products

If this is your situation, our advice is to get a better browser
If IE didn't come bundled with Windows, nobody would use it

I recommend Firefox or Mozilla, both open-source (community-built), free downloads and great browsers with virus, ad and pop-up blockers built-in and bulk plug-ins, themes and extensions available from within the program (you can even write and submit your own scripts, add-ons and improvements for these on-going open-source projects) and it's easy to import your current settings and favourites lists

There are manifold practical, aesthetic and even the odd ethical reasons for making a switch

The link below lists very compelling reasons for giving Bill the DCM (Don't come Monday) and getting yourself an excellent new browser with big heaps of features
