   Review - AOL Mail and AIM Gadget

   1.0.0.39 Beta 4 (Feb 26, 2007)

   It would be nice if this program actually worked. After putting my AIM username and password into this program, it says "Failed to connect."

   Review - WinZip

   10.0 Build 6698 (Feb 23, 2006)

   I still don't understand why anyone would consider buying this program. Much better programs exist. MOST, if not all, other compression programs support mutliple formats, not just ZIP. WinRAR, for example, is one. If you're going to purchase a compression program, purchase WinRAR. Additionally, if you're looking for a free compression program, there are serveral open source (free) products available on SourceForge: 7-Zip is one.

   Review - AOL Instant Messenger for Windows

   5.9.3828 Beta (Jul 13, 2005)

   For those who are wondering, the new "features" actually have nothing to do with AIM itself. AOL is now including its "browser" with AOL Instant Messenger. More information can be found at the AIM website: http://www.aim.com/get_aim/win/win_beta.adp
   
   AOL calls the browser "convenient, built-in browsing," which is a complete load of crap.

   Review - AceFTP Pro

   3.70.0 Beta (Apr 1, 2005)

   I'm not sure how this program is "high-performance" -- the UI alone looks like it would make it slow. And it looks like utter crap. There are many many other alternatives that look (and perform) better than this client, SmartFTP is one of them. FlashFXP is an excellent client as well.

   Review - Private Shell

   1.9 (Mar 31, 2005)

   While this program seems to be "alright" in whate it does, I prefer the open-soure (free) route. WinSCP does a better job.

6. Comment - AOL to Introduce 2GB Web Mail with AIM

   1.9 (May 12, 2005 - 5:52 PM)

   So what are the "AIM" IMAP servers? The AOL E-mail IAMP servers don't work when I login... imap.aol.com must not be for AIM Mail.

   Trillian isn't the best thing in the world. I use it because I'm used to it and I like RSS notifications.
   
   If you dislike Trillian, install GTK+ for Windows and use Gaim. It does exactly the same thing as Trillian (and it abides by standards)!
