My new found FREE apps I just MUST share:

If you haven't gotten the Waze app yet - it's a voice navigation system for your smart phone and it works pretty well so far. And did I mention it's FREE? Amazing.

HBO GO from HBO is a keeper. If you subscribe to HBO all you do is log into your provider, sign up and voila view many movies and shows from your computer, iPad and/or smart phone. Watched a few shows/movies myself already! I mean, if you're paying for HBO and can't be at home to watch, it's great that you can do so other ways!



Crackle - watch TV shows and Movies. Haven't tried my download yet, but a reliable source told me it works great!


Price Watch - lets you know when iPhone apps prices come down or the previously paid apps are listed as FREE!! Never miss out on a sale again! Updated all the time!


Of course my favorites I use daily and think they're absolute must haves for every phone: Dropbox, Evernote, Words With Friends, Tripit ....I could go on, but those are all the top of my use list now and have for quite some time.


What's your favorites? Please post and share here. I'd love to know what you like and love new apps to try!

I just love when I find easy ways to accomplish tasks

I have had to send several pages of PDF files lately and was trying to put all associated papers into 1 file. Not easy, or so I thought, when you do not have the software for it. I'm cheap, I like to do free whenever I can, especially if free is as good as or better than what you pay for. 

So, I'm searching around, reading old ideas that no longer work, they are all outdated and obsolete, but then much to my delight I discovered all I had to do was to use "Preview" already installed on my iMac!  

All you do is open the first file, pdf or not, in "Preview". Be sure the side bar is open so you can see this page on the right side panel. Then drag the additional icon/pages on top of (not under) the files and voila, you have one file! Then just do the "Save As", "pdf" and of course name it in the process, and your done. Takes a few seconds. 

Very pleased that this site was updated to reflect newer operating systems! Thanks to
