   Good software, though why you'd pay when there's PDF Creator available for free that does a great job too.

   Review - Password Maintenance

   2.12 (Mar 1, 2005)

   Very clunky interface, needs a lot of work.
   
   There's a much better free, open source password manager available at http://keepass.sf.net

   Review - XP Codec Pack

   1.0.2 (Feb 13, 2005)

   @GeneralLeoFF: Still having problems with the computer your parents got you for Christmas?
   
   This codec pack is OK, certainly not as feature complete as KLiteCodecPack though, which is my personal choice. KLite offers a number of different downloads depening on your requirements.
   
   I would recommend KLite over this codec pack, but this codec pack does what it claims to with no problems I could see.

   Review - Advanced Password Generator

   2.85 (Jan 4, 2005)

   This is a pile of junk.
   
   If you wnat something that will do this, keepass is free and it not only will generate passwords for you, it will store them securely for you too.
   
   Don't bother with Advanced Password Generator.

   Review - K-Lite Mega Codec Pack

   1.15 (Oct 31, 2004)

   This is an excellent, well supported codec pack. It has sane defaults for the average joe user, but you can tweak it to exactly your needs if you're that type of person.
   
   The only gripe I have is that you can't later install/uninstall invididual items, you have to do a full uninstall and then reinstall. Really though this is an install once and upgrade every couple of months package.
   
   I hope they continue to keep this updated, it's very handy!

6. Comment - Joost re-launches as a Flash-based movie site

   Poor Joost. They tried so hard and I actually hoped they'd go somewhere. Once they lauched though they seemed a little shocked the world wasn't in awe of the product.
   
   I wish them all the best, I suspect they'll fall down in a few years though.

   @PC_Tool: Why's that? You know you're too incompetent to even begin to support such a simple thing?
