Preserving ancient history
Some things age better than others, but we believe in preserving our old content and discussions, even if only as historical artifacts. This section provides a home for pages that are no longer timely or relevant.
The history of DonationCoder
If you're interested in the history of the site itself, check out our about us page, or browse though our archive of past newsletters.

No site does as good a job of helping you choose a freeware tool for a specific task than Gizmo's Freeware (otherwise known by us old-timers as Tech Support Alert).
The site is simply unrivaled in terms of recommendations for freeware, and if you ever find yourself asking what the best free windows utility is for a given task, it's *the* site to visit.
In each well-organized category, top alternatives are reviewed, rated, and ranked, and then discussed by all -- and reviews are frequently revisited and updated, which is a rarity.
In addition, Gizmo Richards himself has also long been a friend to freeware authors, helping to shine the light on new freeware tools, and a friend to us from the early days, helping to tell people about DonationCoder and our software -- and I am extremely honored to have had some of my tools recommended on the site.
I can't think of a better site to receive the first entry in our list of our Favorite Websites.
This page colllects some old historical / legacy pages that we felt were too out of date and too idiosyncratic to migrate over from the older version of our website.
