    It keeps getting better and better! Photoshop CS should work with this latest release.

    /me uses gimp anyway

  2. Review - Joost for Windows

    0.10.2 (May 17, 2007)

    While they don't have a Linux version yet, I have been able to use the Windows version successfully for awhile now. You really need a nice video card, but if you do, it's like watching TV. It's great. The commercials aren't so great, but the content is growing all the time and it's pretty good.

    Here's to a Linux version.

  3. Review - Feedreader

    2.90 (Dec 22, 2005)

    Best I've used for Windows. I really love the "Unread Headlines" smart view. This is the one feature I was missing from my linux PC.

    My only problem is being able to click the lil rss icons in firefox to load the feed into feedreader.

  4. Review - OpenOffice.org for Windows

    1.0 (May 1, 2002)

    This program is great. I took a .doc file... saved it as .sxw and it dropped a huge filesize. Only one small advantage of OpenOffice. With the 1.0 release, it's ready for primetime.

  5. Review - Download Express

    1.2 Beta 1 (Feb 15, 2002)

    Very good program... works well in downloading as multiple threads. Good integration with browsers. Just need to get rid of the lil advertising while downloading.

  6. Comment - HP to Ship Linux PCs in Latin America

    1.2 Beta 1 (Jan 19, 2006 - 4:34 AM)

    I'd have chosen Ubuntu instead of Mandriva, but Linux on the desktop is a great thing! It resides on my desktop.
