The second FOSS SIG meeting was in March 2008. This time we used WindowsXP and found some neat free applications shown below:
 
 
 
 
Netmeter -- View all network activity on the Windows desktop. This utility also keeps a log and can be turned off when in the way.
 
 
FlashPlayer -- Use this to play those pesky YouTube videos. We discussed some methods to save YouTube to the local computer but the real solution came though at the April Meeting.
 

Irfanview -- One of the most popular image viewers and editors and it is free and open source. It works well with photos or web graphics in Linux or Windows. 
 
 

Picture Resizer -- This handy Windows bulk picture resizer will quickly resize one image or a whole group at once. 
 
 
Firefox AddOns -- We checked out the following:
 
NOIA Extreme -- a popular Firefox theme

FireFTP -- an FTP utility added to Firefox with all the bells and whistles

Link Alert -- See what type Player will open a link before clicking on it.

Fox Clocks -- See time around the worl in Firefox toolbars.
