Tip of the Week: Getting apps installed quickly on a new PC

Getting a new computer is a wonderful, exciting event in the life of any computer user, that is, until you realize how many programs you have to install in order to get it setup like your old computer (nevermind importing the data from your backups into each program!)

Adobe Reader, Picasa, FireFox, Skype, iTunes, Flash and a host of other applications are all necessary to make a new computer functional these days, but wouldn't it be great if you didn't have to go to each website, download the latest installation program, run the install program then go to the next site?
