Freebies, goodies and software

The magazine web sites all allow you to subscribe on-line; usually from their main page there is a Subsriptions link.

Windows NT Systems Magazine is specific to Windows NT, but pretty good.
Network Magazine is a great magazine that has lots of general networking information.
BackOffice Magazine is directed towards the entire BackOffice family.
Internet Week is more specifically directed towards Internet technologies, but I enjoy reading this magazine nonetheless.
Info World has both a great web site as well as a great printed magazine. It is more networking / software industry generic, but provides a great view of the industry as a whole. It is the first thing I read in my stack of magazines.
Information Week is more targeted towards MIS and IT management than directly at techies, but it makes a great read anyway. Good columns and a good feel for where the industry is headed. Probably the best put together magazine in the industry.

Get a great Network Communication Protocols poster from Hewlett Packard's Test and Measurement group. This 2' x 3' poster includes references for the OSI Model, TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, Banyan, Apple, IBM and more. A must have for the wall of every geek (oops, network professional)!
`Network Associates is giving away network protocols poster which is really useful. Visit their site and fill out a simple form.
Training Tools is giving away a couple of free training courses for JavaScript, FrontPage 98 and HTML. You download these in PDF format. Thus far, they look pretty good! Definitely worth downloading and printing.

Tucows at Oceanic - Wow! More Windows 95/98/NT, Macintosh, Be, Unix and Linux software than you can shake a stick at!

WinFiles.com is a great site with a lot of Windows software.
No Nags Pay a fee and get all the great 'no nag' (no reminders about registering) software you can possibly handle!
Sunbelt Software - These guys are actually Windows NT software resellers, but they allow you to download demos of most of the software they sell. Sign up for the NTools E-News e-mail news letter while you are there! Good tech support here, also.
Dynamic Drive - Learning JavaScript? Want to enhance your web site with kewl controls? Check out this site! The webmaster here has done an incredible amount of work with JavaScript and Web tools.
