I had just sort of assumed that most people
already knew about TUCOWS as
the
ulti-
mate place on the net to download reviewed
software for almost any and every com-
puter platform. But I have found that a lot of
people are still unaware of it. Plain and sim-
ple, it is the best place to search for
programs you need, whether they be
games, OS “fine-tuners,” network “stuff,”
emulators, or whatever (IMHO). Almost
every package is reviewed and scored in
“cows” (five cows being the highest score).
You can even
super search
on the kind of
license agreement the package has (com-
mercial, shareware, freeware, etc.).

Commercial
While the
quantity
of free materials avail-
able on the net is astounding, nothing can
match the
quality
of dedicated commercial
products. The following resources come
from providers who have spent countless
hours developing materials to assist in the
development of your skills and abilities.

per hour, making them one of the most
cost-effective sources of training you'll find.
Kurv Studios burst onto the scene in
2004 and has quickly become one of the
leading suppliers of high-quality com-
puter-based training material. Their
LightWave series is hosted by indus-
try-recognized artists and offers training
on nearly every aspect of the software.
But what makes Kurv Studios really
stand out from the competition is not the
quality; it's the price. Videos from Kurv
Studios typically range from $24.95 to
$49.95 and contain more than 10 hours
of training material. That's less than $5
