Amic Email Backup
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Nice programm but not allways stable  qright

Amic Email Backup version 2.0
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I love the very nice, straightforward and easy to use interface. I used Amic Email Backup with Outlook 2003 on my WinXP Pro machine. I made backups by hand and also automated. It was also possible to restore the backups. Sometimes Amic Email Backup had some strange behaviors. When it's doing it's job I see several Amic icons appearing in my system tray, but the backups went fine. When Outlook is active, Amic Email Backup reports this. You can choose to "Close All" (Outlook and some other Outlook modules). When I did that, Amic Email Backup crashed with numerous error messages which I had to click away. Opening the Amic website with the link provided by the Programm, caused another crash with many error messages. As I said, a nice and easy to use program, but not always stable.

I installed Spyware Terminator on two of my computers (Athlon 1333 en Athlon XP2400). The software worked fine but my computers became very slow and reacted sluggish. After uninstalling Spyware Terminator the speed problem was over.

Shrink Pic
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/Vista

qleft  Great for my family  qright

Shrink Pic version 1.2
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I don't know how often I had to help my Family members to shrink and send pictures by e-mail. Very often and they keep forgetting what to do :-( Now they can send their pictures without my help with Shrink Pic! Great program and easy to use. It's a pity though that Shrink Pic doesn't automatically starts with Windows on my computer. I check the "Launch on startup" menu-entry, but it doesn't work. No startup-entry is written in the registry or in the startup folder. Now I only have to help with starting up Shrink Pic. That saves already a lot of time :-)

I am using Truecrypt for a long time now and it's working like a dream! It's fast, stable and very reliable. It's an advantage when you're familiar with the command line parameters.

The Form Letter Machine version 1.00.09
  • Interface: 2
  • Features: 3
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 4
  • Overall: 3

Good idea this program. The interface looks outdated, but the program does wat it promises to do. With a few clicks you can put your mail or letter together. Making the templates is easy when you read the online helpfile. It's a pity that it doesn't support text-formatting like bold, italics, etc... The nagscreen is annoying. It can only be removed when you register.

BVRP Connection Manager Pro
  • Free Trial ($29.90)
  • Win2000/XP

qleft  Easy to use and great interface  qright

BVRP Connection Manager Pro version 1.0
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 4
  • Overall: 4

This is a very easy to use program with a great interface. It is even possible to choose a network-profile with the own logon dialog for WinXP. To bad it didn't cooperate well with the wireless LAN-card of my Asus V6800V laptop. All the settings I entered were correct (like WPA password and other settings). Connection Manager Pro wasn't able make a connection and it disabled the Intel Wireless LAN instead of activating it. When a new version works with my Asus I will buy it!

NetSetMan
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Nice and easy to use  qright

NetSetMan version 2.02
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I was looking for a simple program with which I could switch between a few networks. This is it! With one click I can change on the fly the most important settings like Workgroup, Domain and IP-addresses. No restart needed! It is not possible to change settings like SMTP, Firewall, etc... If you want that too, you have to look further.
