Windows XP, some games years ago (I don't play anymore). Virtually everything I use besides the OS is free of charge.

Really. Unless you borrow/steal/pirate everything, how can you possibly keep track? :confused:

most of it....only thing I haven't purchased is procoder...I stopped using it. I wanted to wait until they made it less buggy ( its pnly $50 anyways but still) but it crashes so much that I uninstalled it and probably won;t buy it....

basically everything is bought...xp...office......games....

Way too many to list from over 20 years of computing. For personal use hardware & software wise I have spent well over $30K.

Shens! Nobody buys software with a name that starts with Adobe.

Recently?

Windows XP Pro
Visual Basic 6.0 a long time ago
Office 2000

Everything else is freeware. All my photo editing tools are freeware as well, except for Olympus Master that came with my camera. I'm probably going to bite the bullet and buy Photoshop soon.

yeah... so did you just not notice that each of the software programs in the action pack are unlicensed copies for evaluation, testing, development, and demonstrational purposes only?

I use to download everything, but cracking games, and software got to be to much of hassle. I'd rather save a couple hours, and not get a couple viruses, and just go to wal-mart and buy a game now.
