  1. Review - Mandriva Linux

    9.1 RC2 (Mar 4, 2003)

    It would be nice if it would install on my system like mandrake 6 did....I don't like having to disable serial ports (which aren't used anyway), remove my Nic, geforce 4, USB2.0, etc to maybe get it to install!

  2. Review - ZoneAlarm Plus

    3.1.258 Beta (Jun 3, 2002)

    Well gee- this is the program you had to sign up to be a beta tester for.

  3. Review - ZoneAlarm Pro

    2.6 (May 8, 2001)

    As a user of the ZoneAlarm Pro ver. 1.0, I got the email about this last week or two.
    I like the new "password" feature, keeping things from changing zonealarm pro unless they know the password- I just wish it also would password "shutdown". I know some people that would turn ZA off, just because it was keeping people out of their machine! LOL!!
    Otherwise, very good program, works great so far on Windows Whistler Beta 2, with cable internet connection through a NIC. No known issues right now.

  4. Review - Download Accelerator Plus

    4.0 Beta (Oct 3, 2000)

    I have been using this program since build 3. VERY nice, seems to do better for me than GetRight did. Download speeds are very nice, and I especially like the way you can customize the way it downloads, and add extensions (like ISO). Works great under Win98SE, Win2000, and WinMe.

  5. Review - Netscape Navigator for Windows

    6.0 Preview Release 3 (Oct 2, 2000)

    As for me, I would rather just use the Mozilla code. It is sure a heck of a lot better as plain Mozilla instead of junked up with Netscape....

    Fewt-

    Yep, really me. Got married, and now have a week & 1/2 year old son now. I really get *lots* of online time now, hehe!

  7. Comment - Microsoft Sues Belkin Over U2 Patents

    6.0 Preview Release 3 (Aug 1, 2006 - 5:15 PM)

    I wonder what the Irish rock band U2 thinks of their name being used like this?

  8. Comment - Report: EU Prepares 497 Million Euro Fine Against Microsoft

    6.0 Preview Release 3 (Apr 1, 2004 - 1:40 PM)

    Fewt, I can't believe you said "Adding XP Lite functionallity to the OS should be a given, and XP Lite should not even need to exist." What if MS put that functionality in the next OS? Wouldn't that run XP Lite's makers out of business? >;)

    6.0 Preview Release 3 (Mar 29, 2004 - 8:32 PM)

    You know XPLite is put out by an independant company- if it was licensed and incorporated in the OS, people would scream about that. Just like they did when MS licensed Roxio's cd burning technology "They need to be sued! They are going to put all burner companies out of business!"

    6.0 Preview Release 3 (Mar 27, 2004 - 11:16 PM)

    And Fewt- how about useing "XPLite" to remove the stuff afterward? I tried the full version, and you can do a bit with it.
