Talking Reminder
  • Free Trial ($29.95)
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP

qleft  Great calendar/reminder  qright

Talking Reminder version 2.0
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 4
  • Overall: 4

This is a nifty calendar and reminder tool. It's got a clean, uncluttered Apple-like interface that can be customized to your liking. Reminders pop up and you won't forget your next dentist's appointment, ha! Unfortunately, it does not work in Vista. It'll run but it'll give you enough annoyances to make you quit (problems range from unexpected errors when inputting new reminders to continuously playing reminder tones in a loop). If you are not on Vista you'll love this calendar program.

TrueCrypt
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/Vista

qleft  Best encryption/hide software out there!  qright

TrueCrypt version 4.3a
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Look, I've been around computers since the first PC's came out at $3,000+ (with all of 4MB of RAM). I've been looking high and low for a nice piece of software to hide some of my files from prying eyes. I've tried an untold number of programs and after they either did not work or ran rough, I finally came across TrueCrypt. First of all TrueCrypt works flawlessly with Vista - while a lot of the others simply don't. The concept is beautifully simple (you can access your hidden files via a new drive) and everything is password-protected for 100% piece of mind. I would pay $25+ for this artfully crafted software but it's FREE - what's not to like?! I'd be willing to pay $25+ for this software And kudos to SnapFiles for doing such a great job organizing and evaluating all this software for us so we don't have to waste time trying and testing and trying again!

Dexpot
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Excellent product but doesn't work with vista  qright

Dexpot version 1.4
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

Hey all you upgraders. This is an excellent product but it does not work with Vista. It installs on Vista, you can switch between virtual desktops but programs that are running in one desktop appear in the other desktops, too. The Dexpot guys have not updated this product in a couple of years so until they do I will have to search for something else.
