I am asked at times why anyone would subscribe to NNT Premium when this
Standard issue is free. Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote "Let me count the
ways" in her famous sonnet, so perhaps it will work here as well:
* Each issue of NNT Premium has at least 12 free software programs that
aren't mentioned in the free edition (there's never a repetition);
* There are no ads in NNT Premium to sift through in getting to the good
stuff;
* What you are reading here is plain text; NNT Premium is rich in graphics
and that's often necessary to more clearly illustrate a particular technical
tip;
* Speaking of technical tips, NNT Premium has 2-minute Tekkie Tips to help
your computer function faster and neater, tips that are easy for even the
novice to work through, and tips that are ever mindful of our slogan "No
Screwdriver Needed";
* Mini-Reviews of popular software programs "tell it like it is" so you'll
be forewarned about the good, the bad, and the ugly programs before you
shell out hard cash;
* "Spotted On The Web" takes you to an especially neat, entertaining, and
thought-provoking site on the Web;
* Op-ed comments discuss timely topics in the realm of the Web and
computers;
* Every issue has a full-length feature article on a computer or Internet
topic; and,
* Should you misplace an issue in your subscription, our archive service
will replace it.
There are probably many more reasons to subscribe to NNT Premium as well as
this Standard issue, but you get the idea. You can start your subscription
right now for just $12 a year (24 issues) at the NNT Store,
http://www.neatnettricks.com/store . And if it's not everything we said
(and then some), feel free to cancel for a full refund, no questions asked.

05. CLICKGAGA. Although the name could be improved, this application makes
it easy to listen to Internet radio stations and grab tunes, saving them to
MP3 format in very good quality. If you miss a song, you can return to that
point in the track and use a trimming tool to edit or trim recordings. You
can schedule recordings. The only downsides are a bare-bones interface and
ads in your face, something we've all become rather accustomed to. Download
free at http://www.clickgaga.com/ .
06. WIN+R ALIAS MANAGER lets you easily create aliases for any application.
It supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 and is a free
download at http://winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.76 .
07. SEATGURU at http://www.seatguru.com is a Web site worth visiting before
your next plane trip. It tells you what size and type the seats are,
whether there are power outlets and WIFI, gives you airline phone numbers,
baggage charges, policies about minors, infants, pets, and more.
