For many years now I have been using open source software without actually realising it. My dad is a fan of open source and he uses several different types of open source software. He will quite often tell me that I need to download something, because it is better than something else, or he decides to download stuff for me. This would explain why I probably have several types of software on my laptop that are open source, without me realising that they are.
These include Mozilla Firefox, Audacity and Quick Media Converter. I use Mozilla all the time, and find it easy to use. It is always strange going back to use Internet Explorer, which I had to do in my last workplace. Having used Mozilla for some time, I notice the difference and personally prefer it over Internet Explorer. For my video I used Audacity to edit the music clips that I used. I have had it on my laptop for a while, but have never used it. I found that it worked well and it was fairly easy to use. Quick Media Converter uses open source code from other software. Once again I have had it for a while but did not use it until recently. It is quick and easy to use, and does a good job converting video and music files.
