Might be a better idea to link the the program's home page instead of download sites. that way newer editions don't mess up the links or what not.

 

Thanks for this info! definatly planning on adding to what I don't allready use

 

I have thought about this as well, however since I am online alot I check for updates in these programs quiet often. So whenever a newer version comes out I will update the list. Thanks for the input everyone.
