    Ok, free software is all the rage nowdays but what about software you actually need to pay for?

    What are some titles that you paid for that was money well spent?

    PicSwitcher, its a program that switches, converts and resize multiple pics with ease. I do a lot of graphics, sometimes its great to resize a batch of pics with very little time needed. Even digital camera pics, I can make a batch at low res and email with to friends and family (good for people still on dial up).

    Heh, I love Microsoft Money 2003 myself. I haven't used or seen any other money management software that is as useful.
