   Review - Cobian Backup

   8.0.0.138 Beta (Jun 26, 2006)

   Nice program. Much more elegant and useful than many backups. A pleasure to use.

   Review - Windows Live Messenger

   8.0.0689 Beta (May 9, 2006)

   I am interested in VOIP. With this instant messenger, you can only call out -- no calls in. I like Yahoo IM -- I get a phone number that people can call from any land-line phone or I can call them. This is my only phone except for a cell that I use on the road. 3 bucks a month and @ 2 cents/minute to anywhere in the country. Sure beats the phone company!

   Review - Fuzzy Duck Note

   1.0.6 (Dec 20, 2005)

   I know it's free, and it's a good idea, but nevertheless, it's not ready for prime time. It was working and I had some valuable information in it -- then it quit working.
   I just don't have time to download drivers and/or otherwise troubleshoot this program.
   I use NoteTab which is not as easy, but hold "stuff" in easy-to-retrieve folders in txt files. Never lost anything.
   I have a WinTel machine running XP which I keep updated. Reasonable software should come with >everything< needed to run P-E-R-I-O-D
   
   I uninstalled FuzzyDuck. I lost my valuable time and some of my data. And now I'm taking more time to let the author and others know about it.

   Why would anyone want some sneaky company slipping software on THEIR computor (using their memory, bandwith, etc) that monitors them and then reports back to the company? This is a crime, IMO and the arrogance of these companies only illustrates the need for stricter laws and resources to enforce them.
   
   The i-net is a wonderful development. Too bad there has to be drawbacks like these sleazy weasels.

   In the same way that a 100% literate society would make things better for everyone, 100% wireless coverage for the country would benefit everyone in ways we may not imagine now. $100 laptops will soon be generally available -- that and a ubiquitous i-net connection would change everything.
