   Review - Microsoft SyncToy

   2.1 (Nov 11, 2009)

   I have not tried SyncToy 2.1 yet but I did evaluate version 2.0. It looked promising but it has several shortcomings.
   
   The show stopper for me was that it caused corrupted files when copying to a NAS. After finding that this was a known problem what had not been fixed in a long time I moved on SyncBack Freeware. It does everything that I wanted from SyncToy and more. I may investigate to see if the file corruption when copying to NAS has been fixed in SyncToy but I am not sure that I will move back in any case.

   Review - WS_FTP Professional

   12.2 RC (Sep 22, 2009)

   Once upon a time, in the Windows 3.x days) this was the best FTP client that I could find. I have long since moved on and I use Core FTP now and I could not be happier.

   Review - Mp3tag

   2.41b Beta (Jul 28, 2008)

   I also wish that the new version would work on Win2k. I have XP on my laptop but not on my desktop.
   
   dracodos: I tried your suggestion (copying the installed version from XP to 2k) but it did not work for me. I get an error of "SHParseDisplayName could not be located in SHELL32.DLL"

   Review - Opera for Windows

   9.50 Build 10005 Beta (May 20, 2008)

   anonymouscowturd: I like the fact that Opera logs in using the supplied password before I have to choose if I want Opera to store the password or not. This prevents me storing an incorrect password. I can see if the password was accepted before I choose to save it.

6. Comment - System update fixes Wii's problematically tiny storage

   "With this update, Nintendo also added support for SDHD cards up to 32 GB in size; Before, the Wii only supported up to 2 GB."
   
   SDHD?

8. Comment - Analysts: US consumers like HDTVs better than HD programming

   9.50 Build 10005 Beta (Mar 26, 2008 - 9:44 AM)

   I had an HDTV for about 9 months and i did not "subscribe to an HD programming package". I guess it was because I was perfectly happy with the over the air free HDTV that I was able to receive with an antenna in my attic.

   I would. While both products look cool they are not quite the same market. I do not have an N800 (yet) but I just can not see myself carrying the Eee PC around with me everywhere like I do with my N770... if fits in my back pocket. Try that, Eee PC!
