Here are some cool free programs/services that will help you get work done.

Both are pretty well know but if you haven't ever used either one of these I highly recommend you take a look.

Wordweb
Dictionary/Thesarus that can be used to look up words in almost any program. Very fast, comprehensive, and thorough. This made writing my last research paper so much easier.

Bartleby(website)
Great site for research. Has just about every major type of research book you will ever need online and at your finger tips for free.

http://www.answers.com/ or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page are my favourites.

Yeah, I love Wikipedia.

[rridgely]

Wikipedia is ok but the articles usually aren't as in depth or unbiased as a regular encyclopedia.

Which is why I don't use it too often. Bartleby is more than just an encyclopedia. I has lots of different sources(quotes, books, stories, essays, ect.)

Any program that helps with understanding words is good.Although it didn't help the person who wrote this !

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
