I have always used my computer with an internet connection. Are there free computer programs that are usefull and productive that I can use on my computer when I do not have an internet connection?
Using you computer off line - Looking for usefull programs

I am surprised by the lack of knowledge of some people wrt to PCs and completely open ended questions...are you talking about downloading a game, productivity tools (Open Office) etc. or what?
When you turn on your PC you are actually offline...have a look at your files and you might find some programs!
How do you actually use a computer without knowing anything about it!!
Also post this in the Tech forum, I'm sure they will laugh at you a lot harder there than I did when I read this post

What would you like to do off-line? If you explain what you'd like to do, people can probably help you better.
Don't worry about "needinit". I pissed in his cereal this morning and he still hasn't gotten over it.

I have the feeling that even if you knew something that could be usefull and help me out you would not tell me.......................Unless there was something in it for you!
I have never used my computer off-line. Any info for programs to use my computer would be helpfull. Maybe a word processor, or database writer.
If I could use my compter while I am in my car, I can use the 20 - 30 minute waits more productively.
Okay...I'll try and be serious with this one!
Still think this is a really funny thread as the question is so open ended to is no way to give a real answer. (Kind of like explaining how to go from A-B in a car to someone that has never driven before ).
But, to actually try to be helpful, my first question is about your operating system: Is it Microsoft Windows {something}? If Yes, then go to the Start menu - each of the programs listed in the pop up menu are 'off-line' and ready for use.
I assume the laptop was purchased pre-loaded so you may or may not have Microsoft Office products installed (i.e MS Word, Excel etc), as you do not seem like to type to have loaded the programs yourself (
)
If you are looking for a series of good free programs to get from the internet and then use locally, try the link below:

If your system is not Microsoft Windows {something}, then we can try a different approach, once you actually give us some information to work with.
