NONE OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE NEEDED TO INSTALL OR
SET UP SHOW-ME NET
After you have successfully connected to Show-Me Net, you might want to use some of these free programs to improve your Internet experience.
While all of the programs are freely available for download, it is much faster to install them from CD than to download them from the Internet. For instance, Internet Explorer 6 takes almost 2 hours to download. But, installation from CD takes less than 10 minutes. Show-Me Net's Help Desk, (573) 204-1097, will gladly provide members a CD containing these programs.
