These web sites I’ve found very useful and even career saving. :j
OpenOffice.Org
100% free of charge alternative to Microsoft Office with all the compatibility. I know, its hard to believe, but you really don’t have to pay hundreds of dollars to Microsoft for basic software that every computer should automaticaly come with.
dfontifier
This free application allows you to convert Mac OS X Datafork TrueType fonts (example.dfont) into ordinary Mac OS 9 compatible TrueType fonts and vice versa. This saved me when I needed Futura Medium (which I had in my Mac OS X environment) to be available in my ancient Adobe Illustrator (version 9) and found that I didn’t have Futura in my Mac OS 9 environment where Illustrator was running.
