Which Applications Do You Open When You Start Your Computer?
The computer and internet has become quite a big part of my life and I cannot imagine living without these two things, not that I am obsessed with it, but the fact that my work and personal things like blogging and researching cannot be accomplished without these.
I am a bit curious to know, what applications you open up when you boot up your computer?
