There are several on there I'm going to check out. My list is fairly short, but here is what I use most often: Microsoft Office (mostly Word and Excel) QuickBooks Pro 2007 MyHours.com - free online time tracking Airset.com - free online group collaborative tool (calendar, upload folders, task lists, message board, etc.) Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 Adobe Pro 8 Microsoft Office Live - Email, online calendar GoToMyPC.com - remote access I should have done more research and taken better advantage of some of the free software out there before purchasing a couple of them, but some of them were products I had used at previous employers and was familiar with. Luckily I did buy most of it off Ebay for a fraction of the cost of buying retail. I'm truly amazed at everything I have learned so far since becoming a VA. It has really opened my eyes up to a whole new way of doing things and a whole new world of technology. I always thought I was up on this kind of stuff until I came here! LOL I have been having the most fun, since I started this adventure, learning new ways of doing things, playing with new software, networking and meeting new people, learning how to build a website... maybe I'm just a big nerd but I'm having a blast!! I use AirSet and their Mobile service to host and manage all of my client's data online and also on my mobile phone. It allows me to take my work anywhere and be accessible to my clients for the 14 hours that I am not sleeping =)

The host does pay for the LD call, but with most people having free LD these days, it really doesn't make much of a difference. Kathy Altman Off-Site Office Solutions
