About this web site

The Freeware Hall of Fame (what's freeware?) began life as a collection of
free computer programs circulated around the world by mail. Later it became a dial-up
computer bulletin board promoting and distributing free software.
In the mid-1990s Boardwatch Magazine named it one of the world's 25 best BBSs.

When the BBS era passed we moved to the web where The Freeware Hall of Fame
now shares this space with the writings of Rey Barry.

This site has a Table of Contents with links to more than 60 of our features.
There are also 222 exciting photos and images like the six super models below.

Here you're a guest, not a marketing target We do not collect data (Google collects some) You use us - we don't use you No ads here. Our endorsement isn't for sale You don't sell your body to pay the rent; FreeHOF doesn't accept advertising Our commercial side is our store Puckish Tendencies over at Zazzle where we create unique mugs, bumperstickers, buttons, and mouse pads to thrill you and your mouse. Paris Hilton's money cannot buy her an extremely rare, historic Theloneous Monk "postage stamp" because there are none for sluts. But I share what may be the last supply in the world by selling this mouse pad at Zazzle where anyone, even sluts like Paris or that Anderson pig, can buy it. New for 2009: a pin back button saying "An honest politician is like a breath of hot air." We reply to all email, not always coherently We've had over 20 million visits - hope you find yours worthwhile
