You know, this by rights, should be a sticky thread where we can post up all the bargains we find.
Here is a site dedicated to free (as in gratis) VST plugins for your DAW of choice.

I found this and installed it,this program is easy and fast it will print out your creation in notation and most important it opens midi files and converts them to notation and plays the score.

This free program is really easy to use it has midi input so you can play on your keyboard and select the notes,duration(whole,half,etc.)as well as rests, accidentals, keys and exports as a midi file to load into the above program to print out the score. way cool

I do believe I can copy and paste my Miroslav Philharmonik instrument banks into the pluggins folder of Reaper and it would act as the host

Yup. Reaper acts as it's own VST host, and does a pretty good job of it. It also supports Apple's AU format, which is nice, as the interface on the AU plugins tend to be pretty good. No shock there.

Some awesome VST plugins for the low low cost of nuthin right here from TAL.

I am not a big fan of digital reverb, but the gentle 'verb coming out of the TAL-Reverb box is as nice as I've found.

Jerome is this reverb equal or better then the reverb effects in Reaper? and after downloading do I click options,preferences and add or scan to include it in Reapers vst plugins?

I think so. I took out ReaVerb last night and replaced it with the TAL-Reverb. The effect is much more subtle, and I don't feel like I lost the direct sound in all the echoes.
I'd still rather have a giant awesome room, but in a pinch... 
As far as install goes, Mac installs all audio plugins, regardless of type (VST, AU Component, etc...) in one spot so I just drag the VST directory to there and I'm done. When you install it on Windows, keep note of where the installer puts it on your hard drive, and then do the same exercise we did last night with the VST Preferences by adding that path to the VST directories. I'm assuming you know what *not* to do. ;-)
You might also want to check out Voxengo SPAN. It's a spectrum analyzer but it is a whole lot more useful because it allows you to set up A/B testing between two different setups, and the actual display on the analyzer is a whole lot easier to read. And also, free.
