CyberNotes: Best Lite Apps

Jan 15

Time Saving Tuesday

We’re a few weeks into the new year, and we thought that it would be nice if we helped you with your resolution to trim off some fat…from your computer that is. Today we’re showing off 6 different applications that are all condensed versions of what you might already be using.

Almost all of the programs that we’ve scrounged up are freeware, and we’ve made sure to throw in some you may not be aware of yet. Now lets take your computer to the virtual gym, and we’ll watch those pounds fly off!

–AIM Lite (Freeware)–

One of the things that I like the most about Google Talk is its simplicity. AIM Lite a slightly new experimental program from the folks over at AOL. It’s goal is, in some ways, to make it more like Google Talk. They’ve trimmed things up so that it doesn’t have many features, and in the end the result was a fast little instant messenger. Who would have thought that AOL could make something that wasn’t bloated.

That’s why I’m so appreciative of Nero Lite & Micro!
