Freeware Discussion Newsgroup
If you run out of things to read on paper and magazines, why not read discussions on newsgroups.
Below are a few items I've read on [alt.comp.freeware]. There are quite a few articles posted each day, and it might take up an hour or two of your time reading queries, and replies.
The ones below are just a few that interested me. The discussions in that newsgroup are much more interesting than those you might find in a technical discussion or "for sale" newsgroup.

Are there any free applications which can make active links in pdf documents?
I googled and searched in pricelessware.org without positive results.
Tia for any answer, Marc

- Reply 1: Assuming you have your own web space, http://jalbum.net/ is the best.

creator in their Power Toys.
