Nero BackItUp & Burn
Windows | Nero Inc., 2009
Great product - recommended!
My wife kept bugging me to backup all our family photographs, videos and emails. A friend highly recommended the new Nero software, so I bought it

You ...

Mac, Windows | FileMaker, 2009
More then a desktop database
I will first preface this by saying that I have been a small business desktop database developer for many years (around 1989). I have never used a product that is as versatile and up to date as Filemaker is. Being fully cross-platform (which there is no other) has ...

AutoCAD LT 2010
Windows | Autodesk PSG, 2009
2D or not 2D, that is the question.
I have been using LT for a couple months now, and more than happy with everything it offers, and everything it doesn't. The simple statement here is that if you do not need to render in 3D, LT is for you. As it is for me.
Let's face it, LT is a step down, but ...

From DOS to Windows 7
I have used FTM since the DOS days. Wow - it has morphed into a marvelous full service product. No more pen, paper and hours at the library - no microfiche, no more microfilm - available online all of the time. Awesome changes for FTM! Small quirk with Windows 7, ...

I'm a Linux hack who builds his own Gentoo environments, but when I finally deleted my last Windows partition, I decided to give Ubuntu a try as a second boot option. I was interested in seeing how far commercial distros had come.

Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar [OLD VERSION]
Mac | Apple, 2002
Amazon reviews: Now featuring False Information!
Mac OS X does not disable built-in floppy drives. Mac OS X runs better on computers that are built for it. Running it on a Beige G3 is like running Windows on a 486; you can do it, but it doesn't mean you should. Crashes occour from poorly-designed APPLICATIONS, not ...

Tune Transfer for iPod
Mac OS X, Windows, Mac | Valusoft, 2005
Be Careful: itunes newest version disables TuneTransfer(?)
I would recommend buying the very latest ipod transfer software - not TuneTransfer.
I bought a used CD-ROM in July 2008, originally released 2006; but when I downloaded it into two separate PCs, neither failed to detect an ipod attached (even when I changed itunes ...

Just to double check this program, I went to my banks site and tried the "name brand" program that they were promoting and our refund was going to be less. That program was quick, skipped steps, but also skipped credits that we should have had and did have through the ...
